List of prodrugs user in cancer treatment?
Some cancer therapy prodrugs include: cyclophosphamide capecitabine dacarbazine - is ONLY converted to active form by the liver 5-Fluorouracil etoposide phosphate gemcitabine irinotecan - therapy relies on strongly active metabolites in addition to an active parent compound. These must be metabolized into an active metabolite in order to kill a cancer cell. Sometimes this occurs in the liver, but most of the above medications can be activated inside any cancer or normal cell also, so the expose their full anti-cancer effect locally, and hopefully avoid as many body-wide side effects. No drug is 100% safe.
