Folate antagonists — role?
Inhibit DHFR, block DNA synthesis
Cell cycle phases — target of agents?
Mainly S-phase
Topoisomerase II — function?
Relaxes DNA during replication and transcription
Main drug classes — examples?
Antimetabolites, alkylating agents, antibiotics, microtubule inhibitors
P-glycoprotein — mechanism?
Efflux pump reducing intracellular drug concentration
Folate antagonists — function?
Inhibit DHFR, block nucleotide synthesis
Alkylating agents — DNA effect?
Form covalent crosslinks, cause DNA damage
P-glycoprotein — role?
Efflux transporter, causes drug resistance
Microtubule inhibitors — arrest at?
Metaphase during mitosis
Multidrug resistance — mechanism?
P-gp efflux, reduced drug uptake, increased repair
