Produktinformation

• Name: Cladribine - Bio-X ™
• Synonyme: Leustatin9-(2-Deoxy-b-D-ribofuranosyl)-2-chloroadenine
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Cladribine is a purine nucleoside analogue that interferes with DNA synthesis by acting as a false building block in the DNA chain during replication. Cladribine is incorporated into the growing DNA chain, causing chain termination and leading to DNA damage, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and ultimately cell death. Cladribine is structurally similar to adenosine, but is partially resistant to breakdown by adenosine deaminase due to a chlorine molecule at position 2. This causes it to accumulate in cells and interfere with the targeted cell's ability to process DNA. This mechanism of action makes cladribine an effective treatment for certain types of cancer and autoimmune diseases, where it targets rapidly dividing cells.
