A Vancomycin Adverse effect -- Kori, 21:41:25 12/08/04 Wed [1]

Think of the Chris Farley's SNL sketch "VAN down by the river" and how his face gets really red as he goes along and the level of his voice gets higher...

Van voice level = Vancomycin serum level
when it gets to high it leads to
red faced Chris Farley = Red Man Syndrome

Eicosanoide -- Monish, 16:29:25 12/17/03 Wed [1]

Here is how i remember the general properties of eicosanoids:

Good ones: EI-EI-o
(like the old mcdonald song, how harmful can he be? stands for PGE and PGI by the way, which tend to do good stuff)

Bad ones: Luke's Feet are Toxic or Luke is Fucking Toxic
(whichever you like. This stands for Luekotrienes, PGF, and Thromboxane. They do bad stuff, just like Luke..jk btw this is just a mneumonic..Amy's feet are really more toxic)

Procarbazine -- Stasia, 15:53:52 12/17/03 Wed [1]

"Mop up the wine, beer, and yogurt as part of your pro-carb diet"

MOPP--used in Hodgkins (Procarbazine also used for for CVPP regimen, small cell, malignant melanoma and brain tumors)

Wine, Beer, Yogurt--(and cheese): Procarbazine is a weak MAO inhibitor so hypertension can occur if exposed to sympathomimetic agents or tyramine foods

Mechanism for Iron Poisoning -- Stasia, 10:44:21 12/17/03 Wed [1]

Pumping IRON burns FAT and SUGAR and leads to LACTIC ACID buildup.

IRON induces LIPID peroxidation in mitochondria, inhibiting electron transport. This leads to compensatory GLYCOLYSIS and production of LACTIC ACID.

Methotrexate -- Sumit, 23:26:29 12/16/03 Tue [1]

MetHO trexate - I met a ho fool - pure poly. Luke did her too, but didn't penetrate.

So fool - folate
pure - inhibits purine synthesis
poly - polyglutamate
Luke - leucovorin
didn't penetrate - doesn't penetrate tumor cell or penetrate into DNA/RNA.

Ok here is for the nitrosoureas:

LoSe Car - Imagine a car that's shaped like a brain and is got fat and goo all over it. It has two passengers - alka and carba (the repair man).

So the LoSe Car (Lomustine, Semustine, Carmustine) - brain for brain cancer - fat (lipophilic). Alkylating species and carbamoylating species. Repair man (messes with DNA-repair enzymes).

Kwitka's Cancer Song [hope Kwitka doesn't mind.] -- Deb, 23:35:27 12/16/03 Tue [1]

It�s beginning to look a lot like cancer
NITROGEN MUSTARDS
Take a look at MECHLORETHAMINE
Cross-linking guanines again
With CYCLOPHOSPHAMINE also you know

It�s beginning to look a lot like CARMUSTINE
And other NITROSOURIAS
But the non-synthetic to see is the STREPTOZO-TOCIN that will be on your diabetic door
A pair of SEMUSTINE and LOMUSTINE is the wish for brain tumors then
And platinum compounds like CARBOPLATIN is substituted for CIS nephrotoxin
And PROCARBAZINE can hardly wait to treat the Hodgkin�s

It�s beginning to look a lot like natural products
VINCA ALKALOIDS
That PACLITAXEL blocks cells in mitosis as
well
But does ETOPOSIDE bind to tublin? No!

It�s beginning to look a lot like ANTHRACYCLINES
BLEOMYCIN for a start
And the thing that will to DNA cling is that DOXORUBICIN
Just like DANORUBICIN
Right within G2!



Disclaimers:
1. Some of it may not seem to rhyme because I have no idea how to correctly pronounce these drugs, but it rhymes with the original Christmas lyrics in my head and that is what counts!
2. Streptozotocin causes diabetes, hence the diabetic door
3. Carboplatin is used in cases where cisplatin is toxic
4. Doxorubicin and Danorubicin don�t really �cling� to DNA but they do intercalate

It�s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five and ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It�s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be on your own front door
A pair of hop-a-long boot and a pistol that shoots is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that can talk and will go for a walk is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It�s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There�s a tree in the grand hotel, one in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn�t mind the snow

It�s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring is the
carol that you sing
Right within your heart
Right within your heart!
