Fludarabine Phosphate (Fludara)
Fludarabine phosphate (CAS 75607-67-9), marketed as Fludara, is a fluorinated nucleotide analog derived from vidarabine (ara-A), exhibiting antineoplastic activities by interfering with DNA synthesis. Following rapid extracellular dephosphorylation to 2-fluoro-ara-A, this metabolite is intracellularly phosphorylated by deoxycytidine kinase, generating the active triphosphate metabolite 2-fluoro-ara-ATP. The active metabolite inhibits critical enzymes including DNA polymerase alpha, ribonucleotide reductase, and DNA primase, thereby disrupting DNA replication and ultimately impeding tumor cell proliferation. This compound is broadly utilized in biomedical research focused on anticancer mechanisms and nucleotide metabolism studies.

Cell experiment:[1] | |
Cell lines |
Human T lymphoblastoid cells, CCRF-CEM |
Reaction Conditions |
0.3 ~ 100 μM fludarabine phosphate for 5 h incubation |
Applications |
Fludarabine phosphate (0.3 ~ 100 μM) was dose-dependently converted to F-ara-ATP in cells. However, the incorporation of F-ara-ATP into DNA was self-limited. At 0.3 ~ 10 μM fludarabine phosphate, the amount of the F-ara-AMP incorporated into DNA increased in a dose-dependent manner, but could not further increased at fludarabine phosphate concentrations greater than 10 μM. |
Animal experiment:[2] | |
Animal models |
Mice bearing P388 leukemia |
Dosage form |
234 mg/kg Injected intraperitoneally |
Applications |
Fludarabine phosphate administered as a single dose resulted in fewer cells surviving therapy in mice bearing P388 leukemia, accompanied by a greater percentage of increase in life span (110%) and increased median survival time. |
