Fazarabine (Kymarabine; Ara-AC; NSC 281272) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable DNA polymerase inhibitor and antitumor agent. Fazarabine interferes with DNA synthesis via intracellular activation into a triphosphate nucleotide that directly incorporates into DNA, inducing cytotoxicity, myelosuppression, as well as moderate nausea and vomiting. Fazarabine is resistant to deamination by cytidine-deoxycytidine deaminase and undergoes spontaneous aqueous degradation. Fazarabine exerts time-dependent, broad-spectrum activity against leukemia and solid tumors. Fazarabine can be used in research related to refractory malignancies, acute leukemia, and blast-phase chronic myeloid leukemia .
