APPENDIX 1 Glossary of Cytostatic Drugs
A number of antimetabolites or cytostatic agents are employed in treating leukemias and lymphomas. These drugs act through different mechanisms and their correct use requires special knowledge and expertise. We have listed them as follows in alphabetical order. Brief descriptions of the various modes of application, the mechanisms of action, and the common side effects are provided. Details about the dosage of the cytostatic drugs are given in the treatment protocols and product information.
Amsacrine (m-AMSA)
MODE OF APPLICATION: intravenous
TYPE OF DRUG: alkylating agent
MECHANISM OF ACTION: alkylates and intercalates DNA, inhibitor oftopoisomerase II
INDICATIONS: acute myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia
SIDE EFFECTS: severe myelosuppresson, cardiac toxicity (arrhythmias, heart failure), nausea, vomiting, mucositis, in some cases neurotoxicity, severe local toxicity if paravasate
Asparaginase
MODE OF APPLICATION: intravenous
TYPE OF DRUG: enzyme
MECHANISM OF ACTION: depletes cells of L-asparagine

COMMENT: During treatment, a substitution of fresh frozen plasma or fibrinogen and antithrombin III may become necessary. Because of anaphylactic reactions, a test dose should be given first. In case of intolerance, an alternative preparation of asparaginase should be used (e.g., erwinia asparaginase).
