Anticancer
This document discusses cancer chemotherapy. It begins by explaining the growth fraction of tumors and the proliferating and non-proliferating cells within tumors. It then covers the mechanisms of antineoplastic drugs, including destroying DNA, inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis, interfering with transcription, and inhibiting protein synthesis. The toxicity of these drugs is also discussed. Antineoplastic drugs are classified based on their effects on the cell cycle and their sources/mechanisms. Alkylating agents, antimetabolites, natural products, hormones/antagonists, and miscellaneous agents are covered. Principles of combination therapies include selecting drugs based on cell cycle specificity, combining drugs with different mechanisms, and using other therapies together with chemotherapy.

A 50-year-old man undergoing chemotherapy for a malignant tumor develops megaloblastic anemia. This is likely caused by methotrexate inhibiting folate metabolism. Folic acid supplementation could have prevented the toxicity. Anthracyclines like doxorubicin can cause cardiac toxicity through free radical generation, sometimes requiring dexrazoxane treatment. Bleomycin can cause pulmonary fibrosis.
Anticancer drug
Cancer occurs due to genetic changes in cells that lead to uncontrolled growth. Anticancer drugs target features of cancer cells, including their DNA, to interfere with cell division and cause cell death. The main classes of anticancer drugs are alkylating agents, antimetabolites, antibiotics, and plant alkaloids. Alkylating agents like cyclophosphamide cause DNA damage. Antimetabolites like methotrexate interfere with DNA synthesis. Antibiotics such as doxorubicin intercalate DNA. Side effects depend on the drug but can include suppression of the immune system and damage to organs.

Cancer and anti neoplastic agents
The medical term for tumor (or) cancer is Neoplasm, Which means a relatively autonomous growth (or) un corodinated cell proliferation of body tissue.The branch of medicine which deals with the excessive study of neoplasm (tumor) and its development diagnosis and treatment is called “Oncology.”
The term cancer was translated from a Latin word carcino i.e. Crab by celsus.
For the first time Hippocrates coined the Greek word Karkinos i.e. (crab/cray fish) for malignant breast cancer
Agents used to treat such abnormal cell productions are known as anti neoplastic agents.they are 1.Alkylating agents:-
Nitrogen mustards
Cyclophosphamide
Meclorethamine
2.Antimetabolites:-
purine antagonist:-6-mercaptopurine
Folic acid antagonist:-methotrexate
Pyrimidine antagonist:-5-flurouracil
3.Plant products:-
Vinca alkaloids
Vincrystine
vinblastine
4.Anti biotics:-
Doxorubicin
Actinomycin
5.Hormonal agents:
Tamoxifen
Glucocorticosteroids
6.Miscellaneous:-
Hydroxy urea
Asparginase
Public education campaigns are important in highlighting the dangers of smoking, because possibly as many as 30% of cancers are caused by smoking, excessive drinking, and hazardous solvents, as well as promoting healthy diets and lifestyles.
30% of cancers are diet related that’s why everybody should take healthy diets and lifestyles.
The benefits of eating high-fibre foods, fruit, and vegetables are clear.
Infact, there have been various research projects aimed at identifying the specific chemicals in these foods which are responsible for this protective property.
Principles of cancer chemotherapy and its clinical evaluation
Dr. Jyotiman Nath presented on the history and development of cancer chemotherapy. Some key points include:
- Chemotherapy originated in the early 20th century with Paul Ehrlich's work on "magic bullets" to treat infections. Sidney Farber is considered the father of modern chemotherapy.
- During World Wars I and II, exposure of soldiers to mustard gas led to the observation that alkylating agents suppressed bone marrow, laying the foundations for using similar agents to treat cancers.
- In the 1940s and 50s, drugs like methotrexate and combinations of drugs were used successfully to treat various cancers, representing major advances in the field.

Anti cancer drugs
Cancer chemotherapy originated from observations of mustard gas exposure during World Wars I and II. Luis Goodman and Alfred Gillmen first demonstrated anti-cancer effects of chemotherapy drugs in 1943. Currently, nearly all successful cancer chemotherapy regimens use combination chemotherapy with multiple drugs given simultaneously to achieve synergistic tumor cell kill. Chemotherapy drugs can be classified based on their mechanism of action and cell cycle specificity. Alkylating agents are commonly used chemotherapy drugs that produce reactive carbonium ions to alkylate cellular macromolecules like DNA, causing cytotoxic and radiomimetic effects on both dividing and resting cells. Individual alkylating agent drugs have different dosing schedules and are used to treat various cancer types.

UTSpeaks: A medicated nation
Has Australia lost its way in a pharmaceutical love affair?
Professor Charlie Benrimoj and Associate Professor Mary Bebawy from the University of Technology, Sydney present at this public lecture on prescription medication held on 13 September, 2011.
How many pills will you take today? Do you really need them? What good (and bad) will they do you?
For many of us prescription medications mean the difference between good and ill-health. There’s no denying their important place in fostering well-being for many. But is it time to reflect on the complex forces at work when managing disease and medications and how this impacts you the consumer?
Featuring leading UTS researchers in pharmacy and using example case studies, this public lecture takes a critical look at how medications are prescribed and consumed in Australia. It considers whether we are getting value for money, the ideal health outcomes we hope for and whether new approaches to the responsible use and explanation of medications could be adopted.

The document outlines six hallmarks of cancer cells:
1. Self-sufficiency in growth signals through autocrine or paracrine signaling and expression of growth-promoting extracellular matrix receptors.
2. Insensitivity to antigrowth signals through mutations that block cell cycle inhibitors like Rb or induce differentiation.
3. Evading apoptosis by mutations in genes like p53 that derail cell suicide pathways and activate pro-survival signals.
4. Limitless replicative potential enabled by mechanisms like telomerase that maintain telomere length indefinitely.
5. Sustained angiogenesis driven by factors like VEGF that promote growth of blood vessels.
6. Tissue invasion and

Cancer
Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and the proliferation of abnormal cells. There are over 100 types of cancer that can start in different parts of the body. Cancers are caused when damaged cells divide uncontrollably instead of dying, as they normally would. Symptoms vary depending on the cancer's location but may include lumps, skin changes, pain, or changes in bodily functions. Treatments include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, and gene therapy. Prevention focuses on behaviors like not smoking or drinking alcohol excessively, using sun protection, vaccination, and cancer screening. While lung cancer prevention remains challenging, early detection and new therapies are needed to improve survival rates.
Biology of cancer lectures 1 to 5 revision Karobi Moitra
Cancer is not a single disease but rather a group of related diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and division. There are many types of cancer that are classified based on the tissue affected, growth patterns, and ability to metastasize. Cancer begins when genetic changes cause normal cells to multiply uncontrollably and form tumors. If left untreated, cancer cells can invade nearby tissues and spread via the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body.
The story of DNA modified by Karobi Moitra
The document discusses the discovery of the structure of DNA. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick determined that DNA consists of two strands coiled around each other in a double helix formation. They were able to deduce this structure based on the work of Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Franklin's X-ray diffraction images, especially her Photo 51, provided key evidence of DNA's structure without which Watson and Crick's discovery would not have been possible. While all four scientists contributed to the discovery, only Watson, Crick, and Wilkins received a Nobel Prize in 1962 for their work.
Biology of cancer 134 L1 karobi moitra
Cancer is caused by multiple factors and develops through a multi-step process. Key causes of cancer include tobacco use, certain viruses and bacteria, radiation, and hereditary factors. Cancers arise with different frequencies in different parts of the world, influenced by environmental and behavioral risks prevalent in each location. There is often a significant lag time, sometimes decades, between exposure to a carcinogen like tobacco smoke and the development of cancer. While most cancers are not inherited, some familial cancer syndromes exist that increase cancer risk due to a genetic predisposition.
Hallmarks in cancer
The document discusses the hallmarks of cancer. It describes six fundamental changes or hallmarks in cancer cells that allow them to grow uncontrollably and potentially spread throughout the body. These hallmarks are: self-sufficiency in growth signals, insensitivity to anti-growth signals, evading programmed cell death (apoptosis), limitless replicative potential, sustained angiogenesis, and tissue invasion and metastasis. The document provides details on each of these hallmarks and how they enable cancerous behavior in cells.
Hall marks of Cancer
Cancer is characterized by abnormal cell growth and division. The hallmarks of cancer include self-sufficiency in growth signals, insensitivity to growth inhibition, evading apoptosis, limitless replicative potential, sustained angiogenesis, and ability to invade and metastasize. Cancer results from mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes caused by factors such as viruses, bacteria, chemicals, and radiation.
Neoplasia Clincial effects and Spread of cancer
This document discusses neoplasia and the molecular basis of cancer. It covers the clinical effects and spread of cancer, including tumor-host relationships and pathological diagnosis. Cancer causes local and systemic effects on the host through fever, weight loss, endocrine/neurologic/hematologic syndromes, and more. Cancer spreads locally through direct extension or metastatically through the blood or lymphatic system. The molecular basis of cancer involves genetic mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that deregulate cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. Important oncogenes and tumor suppressors are described.
4. molecular basis of cancer dr. sinhasan, mdzah
This document discusses the multistep process of carcinogenesis. It involves nonlethal genetic damage through DNA damaging agents or inherited mutations that affect genes regulating DNA repair, cell growth, and apoptosis. This can lead to mutations in somatic cells and alterations in genes controlling growth and apoptosis. If DNA repair fails, altered gene expression and loss of regulatory genes can cause clonal expansion and additional mutations, resulting in tumor heterogeneity. Tumors are monoclonal, arising from a single mutated precursor cell.
Evaluation of anticancer agents final
This document discusses the preclinical evaluation of anticancer agents. In vitro cytotoxicity studies are conducted first using various assays like MTT, SRB, dye exclusion tests, etc. on cancer cell lines. Promising compounds are then evaluated in in vivo tumor models using mice. Acute toxicity studies in mice and dogs help determine the safe starting dose for clinical trials. Various tumor models used include chemically induced cancers like DMBA-induced mouse skin papillomas and MNU-induced rat mammary gland cancer, as well as transplantable murine and human tumor models. Together, these preclinical studies aim to identify candidate anticancer agents and guide their safe entry into clinical trials.

Cancer is characterized by abnormal cell growth and division that can spread to other tissues. There are several main types of cancer classified by the tissues they originate from. Chemotherapeutic drugs target rapidly dividing cancer cells and can be classified based on their site of action in the cell cycle or chemical structure. Major classes of chemotherapeutics include alkylating agents, platinum coordination complexes, and antimetabolites. Alkylating agents directly damage DNA through alkylation, inhibiting cell division. Platinum complexes like cisplatin bind DNA and cause crosslinking. Antimetabolites interfere with DNA and RNA synthesis by mimicking normal cell metabolites.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Full Handwritten notes of RA by Ayush Kumar M pharm - Al ameen college of pha...
