Description

Cytarabine is also known as cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) and is a chemotherapy drug that works by inhibiting DNA synthesis. It acts as a nucleoside analogue, which is incorporated into the growing DNA chain during replication. Cytarabine combines a cytosine base with an arabinose sugar (1β-arabinofuranosylcytosine) and is an analog for human deoxycytosine. Cytarabine interferes with DNA synthesis as it is rapidly converted to cytosine arabinoside triphosphate, damaging DNA when cells are in the synthesis phase (S phase). Tumor cells which are highly mitotic and growing rapidly are therefore preferably targeted. Cytarabine also inhibits nucleotide reductase enzymes as well as nuclear polymerases, leading to interruption and inhibition of synthesis, strand breaks and cell death.

Cytarabine is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready to use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.
