Active ingredients

The drug FLUDALYM contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Fludarabine
UNII 1X9VK9O1SC - FLUDARABINE PHOSPHATE

Fludarabine is a water-soluble fluorinated nucleotide analogue of the antiviral agent vidarabine 9-β-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (ara-A) that is relatively resistant to deamination by adenosine deaminase. Fludarabine phosphate is rapidly dephosphorylated to 2F-ara-A which is taken up by cells and then phosphorylated intracellularly by deoxycytidine kinase to the active triphosphate, 2F-ara-ATP. This metabolite has been shown to inhibit ribonucleotide reductase, DNA polymerase α/δ and ε, DNA primase and DNA ligase thereby inhibiting DNA synthesis.
