Indicated medicines

Active Ingredient Description
Dactinomycin

Dactinomycin is an antineoplastic antibiotic derived from Streptomyces parvullus. Stable complexes are formed with DNA through intercalation and DNA-dependent RNA synthesis is selectively inhibited. Protein and DNA synthesis are inhibited to a lesser extent.

Ifosfamide

Ifosfamide is an antineoplastic, a cytotoxic alkylating agent. It is a prodrug and shows no in vitro cytotoxic activity until activated by microsomal enzymes. The cytotoxic activity of ifosfamide (alkylation of the nucleophilic centres in the cells) is associated with the activated oxazaphosphorine ring hydroxylated at the C4 atom which interacts with DNA-DNA cross linking. This activity manifests itself by blocking the late S and early G2 phases of the cell cycle.

Vindesine

Vindesine is an antineoplastic agent derived from vinblastine, like the other vinca alkaloids it causes mitotic arrest in metaphase by binding to microtubular protein.
