Application
Ara-G is converted by cellular kinases to the active 5′-triphosphate, Ara-GTP. This active form of Ara-G induces apoptosis and inhibits DNA synthesis. Ara-G is also an antineoplastic and antimetabolite.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ara-G is an inducer of apoptosis; inhibitor of DNA synthesis; antineoplastic; and antimetabolite. Ara-G is converted by cellular kinases to the active 5′-triphosphate, Ara-GTP. Incorporation of Ara-GTP into DNA leads to inhibition of DNA synthesis and apoptosis.
