Description

Fludarabine is an equilibrative nucleoside analog that inhibits DNA synthesis by blocking the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase. It is a potent inducer of apoptosis and has been used in autologous stem-cell transplantation for leukemia. Fludarabine has significant up-regulation of Bcl-2 protein levels, which may be responsible for its potent induction of apoptosis. Fludarabine also has a number of drug interactions, including the ability to inhibit the metabolism of other drugs through inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes. Fludarabine is not active against opportunistic fungal infections.
