Description / Application
Nelarabine is a purine nucleoside in which O-methylguanine is attached to arabinofuranose via a beta-N9-glycosidic bond. Inhibits DNA synthesis and causes cell death; a prodrug of 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosylguanine (ara-G). It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, a prodrug and a DNA synthesis inhibitor. It is a purine nucleoside, a beta-D-arabinoside and a monosaccharide derivative. It is functionally related to a guanine and a 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosylguanine.
