NCIt definition : An antimetabolite analogue of cytidine with a modified sugar moiety (arabinose instead
of ribose). Cytarabine is converted to the triphosphate form within the cell and then
competes with cytidine for incorporation into DNA. Because the arabinose sugar sterically
hinders the rotation of the molecule within DNA, DNA replication ceases, specifically
during the S phase of the cell cycle. This agent also inhibits DNA polymerase, resulting
in a decrease in DNA replication and repair. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug used to treat certain types of leukemia and prevent the spread of
leukemia to the meninges (three thin layers of tissue that cover and protect the brain
and spinal cord). It is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer.
Cytarabine blocks tumor growth by stopping DNA synthesis. It is a type of antimetabolite.;
