Arsenic Trioxide 認識化療藥品Arsenic Trioxide
2024/1/22Arsenic trioxide is a natural element that is used to treat patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia. The mechanisms of arsenic trioxide on cancer cell death is not clearly understood.
Azacitidine 認識化療藥品Azacitidine
2024/1/22Azacitidine is classified as an anticancer antimetabolites. This drug kills abnormal blood cells in bone marrow that have grown too fast and do not work properly.
Bendamustine 認識化療藥品Bendamustine
2024/1/22Bendamustine is an alkylating agent that exerts its anticancer activity by reacting with DNA and interfering with DNA replication and cell division. This stops the growth and spread of cancer cell in the body.
Bortezomib 認識標靶藥品Bortezomib
2024/1/22Bortezomib is a proteasome inhibitor. A proteasome is an enzyme that is responsible for breaking down proteins in cells. By blocking the action of proteasome, waste proteins build up in myeloma cells, and cause them to die.
Brentuximab vedotin 認識化療藥品Brentuximab
2024/1/22Adcetris® is an antibody-drug conjugate combining a cytotoxic agent with a selective monoclonal antibody, which targets a protein called CD30 on the surface of some lymphoma cells, and delivers a cytotoxic agent to destroy the cancer cells.
Busulfan 認識化療藥品Busulfan
2024/1/22Busulfan is an alkylating agent that exerts its anticancer activity by reacting with DNA and interfering with DNA replication and cell division. This stops the growth and spread of cancer cell in the body.
Cabazitaxel 認識化療藥品Cabazitaxel
2024/1/22Cabazitaxel is a synthetic analogue of taxane, a nature product derived from the needles of the European yew tree. This medicine inhibits the action of proteins called microtubules for cell division, thus stopping cancer cells from separating into two new cells, eventually causing cell death.
Carfilzomib 認識化療藥品Carfilzomib
2024/1/22Carfilzomib is a proteasome inhibitor. A proteasome is an enzyme that is responsible for breaking down proteins in cells. By blocking the action of proteasome, waste proteins build up in myeloma cells, and cause them to die.
Clofarabine 認識化療藥品Clofarabine
2024/1/22Clofarabine is classified as an anticancer antimetabolites. This medicine inhibits ribonucleotide reductase that is essential for the formation of DNA and RNA. This stops the growth of cancer cells, causing the cells to die.
Dactinomycin 認識化療藥品Dactinomycin
2024/1/22Dactinomycin is classified as an anticancer antibiotic. This medicine inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis, thus stopping cell replication and eventually cause cell death. This cell damage slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in the body.
