Abstract
Fludarabine monophosphate is a purine nucleoside antimetabolite with efficacy in the treatment of lymphoproliferative disorders and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It is the 2-fluoro, 5' phosphate derivative of 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl adenine (ara-A, vidarabine) and the mechanism of action is through inhibition of DNA synthesis and the cytolytic effects through the induction of endonuclease-independent apoptosis.Entities:
