Description and Uses
Cytarabine (147-94-4) is a nucleoside analog that interferes with DNA synthesis and transcription, particularly in tumor cells.1,2 Cellular enzymes convert it to its nucleotide form, Ara-CTP, which disrupts DNA and RNA synthesis when polymerases attempt to incorporate it.3,4 For the same reasons, it is also employed as an antiviral.5 It inhibits proliferation of a variety of leukemic cell lines (IC50s 16-72 nM), but is used primarily against acute myeloid leukemia (AML).6
Cytarabine USP (Cytosar)is used to treat Acute granulocytic leukemia (adults); acute lymphocytic leukemia (children); Hodgkin’s disease
