Cytarabine

A nucleoside analogue of cytidine (cytosine arabinoside, ara-C) that blocks DNA synthesis: first synthesised in 1959 at the University of California, Berkeley, and approved in the United States in 1969, it is a mainstay of treatment for acute leukaemias. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?It grew out of the study of two unusual nucleosides containing the sugar arabinose, isolated in the 1950s from the Caribbean sponge Tectitethya crypta.
