How It Works

Cytarabine is a pyrimidine nucleoside analog that inhibits DNA synthesis by competing with cytidine for incorporation into DNA, leading to chain termination and cell death.

Mechanism Steps

1Cytarabine enters cells via nucleoside transporters.
2Phosphorylated to cytarabine triphosphate (ara-CTP) by deoxycytidine kinase.
3Ara-CTP competes with deoxycytidine triphosphate for incorporation into DNA.
