WHAT ARE THE MAJOR DRAWBACKS OF CONVENTIONAL CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS? 1 2
1 POOR SELECTIVITY LOW THERAPEUTIC INDEX
2 DRUG RESISTANCE
TARGETED AGENTS IN ANTICANCER CHEMOTHERAPY
TUMOR SUPPRESSOR INACTIVATION 1) Point mutation p53
TUMOR SUPPRESSOR INACTIVATION 1) Point mutation: p53, BRCA1 etc. 2) Deletion 3) Epigeneticsilencing
TUMOR SUPPRESSOR INACTIVATION 1) Point mutation: p53, BRCA1 etc. 2) Deletion 3) Epigeneticsilencing 4) Protein-proteininteractions
TUMOR SUPPRESSOR INACTIVATION Protein-protein interactions

Twogenes (‘A’ and ‘B’) are said to be synthetic lethal if mutation of either gene alone is compatible with viability but simultaneous mutation of both genes causes death.
