GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
||
| Cytarabine, cytosine arabinoside, is a synthetic nucleoside which differs from cytidine and deoxycytidine in that the sugar moiety is arabinose rather than ribose on deoxyribose. It is metabolically activated to the triphosphate nucleotide (ara-CTP) which acts as an inhibitor of DNA polymerase and produces S phase–specific cytotoxicity. It is used as an antineoplastic in the treatment of acute lymphocytic, acute myelogenous leukemia, the blast phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia, erythroleukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphomais, prophylaxis, and meningeal leukemia. Cyclocytidine is metabolized to cytarabine and thereby maintains a more constant antineoplastic action. Cytarabine (1-beta-D-Arabinofuranosylcytosine) is a white to off-white, crystalline powder; freely soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol and in chloroform, insoluble in ether. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties. | ||
