Gemcitabine triphosphate
Gemcitabine triphosphate (dFdCTP) is the active metabolite of Gemcitabine (HY-17026). The mechanism of Gemcitabine triphosphate cell-killing is its competition with cytidine triphosphate during DNA replication, which results in the inhibition of chain elongation. Gemcitabine triphosphate shows a Ki of 11.2 μM against DNA polymerase α and 14.4 μM against DNA polymerase ε. Gemcitabine triphosphate partially inhibits dCMP deaminase and acts as a substrate for DNA synthesis to incorporate into cellular DNA and RNA. Gemcitabine triphosphate disrupts DNA and RNA synthesis, arrests cell cycle in G0/G1 and S phases, triggers apoptosis, reduces tumor cell proliferation. Gemcitabine triphosphate can be used for the research of pancreatic cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.

DNA Polymerase |
Gemcitabine triphosphate inhibits replicative DNA polymerases α and ε with Ki values of 11.2 μM and 14.4 μM, respectively[1].
Gemcitabine triphosphate (0.01-10 μM; short-term incubation) accumulates to 0.01-10 μM in human colon carcinoma cells, with radiation enhancement ratios plateauing at 1.0 μM Gemcitabine (precursor)[1].
Gemcitabine triphosphate (0.1-10 μM; 48 h) reduces cell viability in H460 human NSCLC cells and BxPC-3 human pancreatic cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner[3].
Gemcitabine triphosphate (1.8 μM; 24 h) arrests the cell cycle in the S phase in H460 human NSCLC cells and BxPC-3 human pancreatic cancer cells[3].
Gemcitabine triphosphate (1.8 μM; 48 h) induce caspase-3/7 activation in H460 human NSCLC cells and BxPC-3 human pancreatic cancer cells[3].
