NCIt definition : A monohydroxyl-substituted urea (hydroxycarbamate) antimetabolite. Hydroxyurea selectively
inhibits ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase, an enzyme required to convert ribonucleoside
diphosphates into deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates, thereby preventing cells from
leaving the G1/S phase of the cell cycle. This agent also exhibits radiosensitizing
activity by maintaining cells in the radiation-sensitive G1 phase and interfering
with DNA repair. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: An anticancer drug that belongs to the family of drugs called antimetabolites.;
