Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Targets:
Thalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent with a spectrum of activity that is not fully characterized. Thalidomide is racemic — it contains both left and right-handed isomers in equal amounts: one enantiomer is effective against morning sickness, and ...

CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Targets:
Conditions:
Pentostatin, also known as 2’-deoxycoformycin (DCF) under the trade name Nipent, is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme adenosine deaminase and is isolated from fermentation cultures of Streptomyces antibioticus. It was developed by Parke-Davis (now Pfi...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)
Conditions:
Mitoxantrone (NOVANTRONE) is a synthetic antineoplastic
anthracenedione. Mitoxantrone, a DNA-reactive agent that intercalates into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
through hydrogen bonding, causes crosslinks and strand breaks. Mitoxantrone also interferes...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Targets:
Daunorubicin, also known as daunomycin, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat cancer. Specifically, it is used for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and Kaposi's sarcoma. Similar ...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Targets:
Conditions:
Doxorubicin is an antineoplastic in the anthracycline class. General properties of drugs in this class include: interaction with DNA in a variety of different ways including intercalation (squeezing between the base pairs), DNA strand breakage and in...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Targets:
The mitomycins are a family of aziridine-containing natural products isolated from Streptomyces caespitosus or Streptomyces lavendulae. One of these compounds, mitomycin C, finds use as a chemotherapeutic agent by virtue of its antitumour activity. ...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Floxuridine is a pyrimidine analog that acts as an inhibitor of the S-phase of cell division. This selectively kills rapidly dividing cells. Floxuridine is an anti-metabolite. Anti-metabolites masquerade as pyramidine-like molecules which prevents no...

CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Targets:
Conditions:
Vinblastine is a Vinca alkaloid obtained from the Madagascar periwinkle plant. Vinca alkaloids were found out in the 1950's by Canadian scientists, Robert Noble and Charles Beer for the first time. Medicinal applications of this plant lead to the mon...
