Cytosine arabinoside (Cytarabine, Cytosar, and Ara-C) is an analog of deoxycytidine, differing only in its substitution of sugar arabinose for deoxyribose. It is converted to Ara-CTP, and thereby inhibits DNA polymerase according to the following reactions ... [Pg.114]

Two standard dosage schedules are recommended for administration of cytarabine ( cytosar-u, TARABINE PFS, Others) (1) rapid intravenous infusion of 100 mg/nf every 12 hours for 5—7 days or (2) continuous intravenous infusion of 100 to 200 mg/nP daily for 5-7 days. In general, children tolerate higher doses than do adults. Intrathecal doses of 30 mg/m every 4 days have been used to treat meningeal leukemia. The intrathecal administration of 50-70 mg of the liposomal formulation of cytarabine (depocyt) every 2 weeks seems to be equally effective as the every-4-day regimen. Conventional cytarabine is indicated for induction and maintenance of remission in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia and is useful in the treatment of other leukemias, such as ALL AML, and CML in the blast phase. Intrathecal cytarabine is indicated for meningeal leukemia. [Pg.877]

Cytarabine (cytosine arabinoside, ara-C, Cytosar-U) is an analogue of the pyrimidine nucleosides cytidine and deoxycytidine. It is one of the most active agents available for the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia. Cytarabine kills cells in the S-phase of the cycle by competitively inhibiting DNA polymerase. The drug must... [Pg.645]

Cytamen cyanocobalamin. cytarabine [ban, inn. jan, usan] (cytarabine hydrochloride [usan] Ara C Cytosar Cytosar-U ) is an antimetabolite cytotoxic ANTICANCER and ANTIVIRAL AGENT isolated from the mushroom Xerocomm nigromaculatus. It works by interfering with pyrimidine synthesis. Clinically, it can be used sys-temically in anticancer treatment mainly of acute leukaemia, cytidine diphosphate choline dticoline. cytidine diphosphocholine dticoline. cytisine is an alkaloid with CNS STIMULANT, RESPIRATORY STIMULANT and psychoactive properties. It has been used clinically as a respiratory stimulant in Russia. It is a common cause of poisoning by the seeds of Cytisus laburnum. [Pg.89]
