Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Cyclocytidine is a cytidine analogue that is metabolized into cytarabine (AraC) in vivo. It inhibits DNA polymerase, incorporates into DNA and halts chain elongation, leading to apoptosis in rapidly dividing cells. Its cyclic structure provides improved stability and pharmacokinetic characteristics.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in nucleosideanalogue research, leukemiamodel studies, DNApolymerase inhibition assays, and prodrugactivation pathway modelling.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include bonemarrow suppression, hepatotoxicity, mucositis, neurotoxicity and immunosuppression. Handle with cytotoxicdrug containment.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
