Active Ingredient Description
Nelarabine

Nelarabine is a pro-drug of the deoxyguanosine analogue ara-G. Accumulation of ara-GTP in leukaemic blasts allows for preferential incorporation of ara-GTP into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) leading to inhibition of DNA synthesis. This results in cell death. Other mechanisms may contribute to the cytotoxic effects of nelarabine. In vitro, T-cells are more sensitive than B-cells to the cytotoxic effects of nelarabine.
