Antineoplastic drugs antibiotics

The following sections give selected interactions of die alkylating dragp, antimetabolites, antibiotics, hormones, miotic inhibitors, and miscellaneous antineoplastic dragp. The nurse should consult appropriate sources for a more complete listing of interactions before any antineoplastic drug is administered. 

The proximal tubule is the specific target for several antibiotics, mycotoxins, certain antineoplastic drugs, and heavy metals. The proximal tubule can be divided into three discrete segments. The SI segment (pars convoluta) is the initial portion of the proximal convoluted tubule S2 is the transition between the pars convoluta and the pars recta, which consists of the end of the convoluted segment and initial portion of the straight segment and S3 (pars recta)... 

A variety of antibiotics and antineoplastic drugs exert their therapeutic effects by interaction with topoisomerase I and disruption of DNA synthesis during phase of dividing cells. Topoisomerase I is essential for DNA replication and cell growth. The enzyme relieves torsional stress in DNA by inducing reversible single-strand breaks. The interaction of topoisomerase I and certain drugs produces double-strand breaks in DNA that are irreversible and can lead to cell death.

Most air contaminants refer to substances contained in vapors from paint, cleaning substances, pesticides, solvents, particulate materials, outdoor air pollutants, and other airborne substances. Healthcare facilities must be aware that new carpet and particle board can release volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde. Healthcare facilities must also contend with a number of other potential contaminants such as antibiotics and antineoplastic drugs. Healthcare facilities must also...

Considering all aspects, sex hormones, antibacterials, and antineoplastic agents were identified by Christensen as the three most relevant groups of chemicals concerning their potential human risk as a consequence of drug exposure via the environment [10]. Immunochemical methods for hormones and antibiotics have already been discussed above. In this section we will describe methods based on the use of antibodies for the analysis of analgesics, NSAIDs, and cytostatic agents.
