Conditions:
Indinavir is an antiretroviral drug for the treatment of HIV infection. Indinavir is a protease inhibitor with activity against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). Protease inhibitors block the part of HIV called protease. HIV-1 protease is an enzyme required for the proteolytic cleavage of the viral polyprotein precursors into the individual functional proteins found in infectious HIV-1. Indinavir binds to the protease active site and inhibits the activity of the enzyme. This inhibition prevents cleavage of the viral polyproteins resulting in the formation of immature non-infectious viral particles. Protease inhibitors are almost always used in combination with at least two other anti-HIV drugs.

Class (Stereo):

Conditions:
Amifostine is an organic thiophosphate cytoprotective agent known chemically as 2-[(3¬ aminopropyl)amino]ethanethiol dihydrogen phosphate (ester), it’s adjuvant used in cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy involving DNA-binding chemotherapeutic agents. It is marketed under the trade name Ethyol. Amifostine is a prodrug and is dephosphorylated by alkaline phosphatase in tissues to a pharmacologically active free thiol metabolite. This metabolite is believed to be responsible for the reduction of the cumulative renal toxicity of cisplatin and for the reduction of the toxic effects of radiation on normal oral tissues. The ability of Ethyol to differentially protect normal tissues is attributed to the higher capillary alkaline phosphatase activity, higher pH and better vascularity of normal tissues relative to tumor tissue, which results in a more rapid generation of the active thiol metabolite as well as a higher rate constant for uptake into cells. The higher concentration of the thiol metabolite in normal tissues is available to bind to, and thereby detoxify, reactive metabolites of cisplatin. This thiol metabolite can also scavenge reactive oxygen species generated by exposure to either cisplatin or radiation. Healthy cells are preferentially protected because amifostine and metabolites are present in healthy cells at 100-fold greater concentrations than in tumor cells.

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)
Conditions:
Iobenguane I-131 is a radioactive therapeutic agent. The drug contains radioactive isotope I-131, which decays by electron emission with a half-life of about 8 days. By the chemical structure, iobenguane is similar to the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and is subject to the same uptake and regulation pathways. After intravenous administration, iobenguane I-131 accumulates within pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma cells, and radiation from the radioactive decay causes cell death and tumor necrosis. Iobenguane I-131 was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with iobenguane scan positive, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma who require systemic anticancer therapy. Iobenguane I-131 is investigated in clinical trials as a treatment of neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma and other tumors of neuroendocrinal origin.

Conditions:
Trimetrexate, a second-generation folate antagonist which was used under brand name NEUTREXIN with concurrent leucovorin administration (leucovorin protection) was indicated as an alternative therapy for the treatment of moderate-to-severe Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised patients, including patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Nevertheless, this product was discontinued. In present time, trimetrexate with a different combinations is in the phase II of clinical trial for the treatment the following cancer diseases: pancreatic cancer and colorectal cancer (in combination with fluorouracil and leucovorin) and to treat a refractory acute leukemia in combination with leucovorin. Trimetrexate is a competitive inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from bacterial, protozoan, and mammalian sources. DHFR catalyzes the reduction of intracellular dihydrofolate to the active coenzyme tetrahydrofolate. Inhibition of DHFR results in the depletion of this coenzyme, leading directly to interference with thymidylate biosynthesis, as well as inhibition of folate-dependent formyltransferases, and indirectly to inhibition of purine biosynthesis. The result is disruption of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, with consequent cell death.

Conditions:
Altretamine is structurally similar to the alkylating agent triethylenemelamine (tretamine). Although Altretamine structurally resembles an alkylating agent, it has not been found to have alkylating activity in vitro. The precise mechanism of Altretamine cytotoxicity is unknown, although several proposals have been made. Altretamine requires N-demethylation in the liver to produce reactive intermediates (formaldehyde and/or iminium species) which covalently bind to DNA, resulting in DNA damage, or act as alkylating agents. Altretamine is used as a palliative treatment for persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer following treatment failure with a cisplatin- or alkylating agent-based combination. Side effects of Altretamine include nausea and vomiting, neurotoxicity (mood disorders, disorders of consciousness, ataxia, dizziness, vertigo), mild to moderate dose-related myelosuppression. Altretamine has been shown to be embryotoxic and teratogenic in rats and rabbits and may cause fetal damage when administered to a pregnant woman. Under the trade name Hexalen, Altretamine, is an antineoplastic agent. It is indicated for use as a single agent in the palliative treatment of patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer following first-line therapy with a cisplatin and/or alkylating agent-based combination.
