Composition

Each vial contains:

• Cytarabine 1000 mg

It is intended for intravenous (IV), subcutaneous (SC), or intrathecal administration, depending on the treatment protocol.

Mechanism of Action

Cytarabine works by interfering with DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing cells:

• Mimics natural nucleosides required for DNA replication
• Gets incorporated into DNA during the S-phase of the cell cycle
• Inhibits DNA polymerase enzyme
• Stops cancer cell replication and leads to cell death

Because cancer cells divide rapidly, they are more affected by this action.
