The original Acros Organics product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

General Description

  • Cytarabine is a nucleoside analog that acts as an antileukemic agent
  • Cytarabine becomes cytotoxic following conversion to its triphosphorylated form, which can be incorporated into DNA primers by DNA polymerase alpha
  • Can induce S phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in leukemic and neuronal cells

Applications

  • Has been used to study chemotherapeutic regimens in laboratory studies of leukemia
  • Useful for laboratory studies of cytarabine resistance mechanisms
  • At nanomolar concentrations, cytarabine has been seen to induce mitochondrial apoptosis in leukemic cells through upregulation of multiple Bcl-2 family members
  • It can induce neuronal cell death via inducing γ-H2AX phosphorylation in histones, in the absence of double-stranded DNA breaks
