Biochemical Properties
Cytarabine is a pyrimidine nucleoside analogue that inhibits the synthesis of DNA . Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle . It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties . Cytarabine is metabolized intracellularly into its active triphosphate form (cytosine arabinoside triphosphate) .
Cellular Effects
Cytarabine is cytotoxic to a wide variety of proliferating mammalian cells in culture . It exhibits cell phase specificity, primarily killing cells undergoing DNA synthesis (S-phase) and under certain conditions blocking the progression of cells from the G1 phase to the S-phase . The mechanisms that critically determine resistance to cytarabine appear to be related to a deficiency of cytarabine cellular uptake and retention, overexpression of enzymes inactivating cytarabine, increased cellular dCTP pools, and increased DNA repair .
Molecular Mechanism
Cytarabine acts through direct DNA damage and incorporation into DNA . This metabolite damages DNA by multiple mechanisms, including the inhibition of alpha-DNA polymerase, inhibition of DNA repair through an effect on beta-DNA polymerase, and incorporation into DNA .
Temporal Effects in Laboratory Settings
Cytarabine’s effects can change over time in laboratory settings. For instance, chemotherapy regimens can induce a suboptimal clinical outcome in a fraction of patients . The individual variability in clinical response to treatments among patients is associated with intracellular accumulation of Ara-CTP due to genetic variants related to metabolic enzymes .
Dosage Effects in Animal Models
The effects of Cytarabine can vary with different dosages in animal models . For instance, a higher dose of cytarabine leads to toxicity to normal organs and tissues . This toxicity and nonspecific distribution often lead to chemotherapeutic failure and noncompliance .
Metabolic Pathways
Cytarabine is involved in several metabolic pathways. It is metabolized intracellularly into its active triphosphate form (cytosine arabinoside triphosphate) . This metabolite then damages DNA by multiple mechanisms, including the inhibition of alpha-DNA polymerase, inhibition of DNA repair through an effect on beta-DNA polymerase, and incorporation into DNA .
Transport and Distribution
Cytarabine is transported and distributed within cells and tissuesSome studies suggest that lipophilic conjugates, including in combination with delivery vehicles, can be used to control drug delivery, distribution, and therapeutic profiles .
Subcellular Localization
It is known that Cytarabine primarily acts in the S phase of the cell cycle, suggesting that it localizes to the nucleus where DNA replication occurs .

Mechanism of Action |
Cytarabine acts through direct DNA damage and incorporation into DNA. Cytarabine is cytotoxic to a wide variety of proliferating mammalian cells in culture. It exhibits cell phase specificity, primarily killing cells undergoing DNA synthesis (S-phase) and under certain conditions blocking the progression of cells from the G1 phase to the S-phase. Although the mechanism of action is not completely understood, it appears that cytarabine acts through the inhibition of DNA polymerase. A limited, but significant, incorporation of cytarabine into both DNA and RNA has also been reported., Cytarabine is converted intracellularly to the nucleotide, cytarabine triphosphate (ara-CTP, cytosine arabinoside triphosphate). Although the exact mechanism(s) of action of cytarabine has not been fully elucidated, cytarabine triphosphate appears to inhibit DNA polymerase by competing with the physiologic substrate, deoxycytidine triphosphate, resulting in the inhibition of DNA synthesis. Although limited, incorporation of cytarabine triphosphate into DNA and RNA may also contribute to the cytotoxic effects of the drug., Cytarabine is a potent immunosuppressant which can suppress humoral and/or cellular immune responses; however, the drug does not decrease preexisting antibody titers and has no effect on established delayed hypersensitivity reactions., Cytarabine liposome injection is a sustained-release formulation of the active ingredient cytarabine designed for direct administration into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Cytarabine is a cell cycle phase-specific antineoplastic agent, affecting cells only during the S-phase of cell division. Intracellularly, cytarabine is converted into cytarabine-5'-triphosphate (ara-CTP), which is the active metabolite. The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but it appears that ara-CTP acts primarily through inhibition of DNA polymerase. Incorporation into DNA and RNA may also contribute to cytarabine cytotoxicity. Cytarabine is cytotoxic to a wide variety of proliferating mammalian cells in culture. /Cytarabine liposome injection/ | |
