Fludara Chemical Information

fludarabine phosphate - The phosphate salt of fludarabine, a synthetic purine nucleoside antimetabolite with antineoplastic activity. Preferentially transported into malignant cells and metabolized to its active form 2-fluoro-ara-ATP by deoxycytidine kinase, fludarabine inhibits alpha DNA polymerase and RNA reductase and competes with deoxyadenosine triphosphate, resulting in inhibition of DNA primase, inhibition of DNA synthesis, and cell death.
