Mechanism

edit

It is classified as a purine analog, which is a type of antimetabolite.

It mimics the nucleoside adenosine and thus inhibits the enzyme adenosine deaminase, interfering with the cell's ability to process DNA.[3]

Cancer cells generally divide more often than healthy cells; DNA is highly involved in cell division (mitosis) and drugs which target DNA-related processes are therefore more toxic to cancer cells than healthy cells.

Uses

edit

Pentostatin is used to treat hairy cell leukemia.[4] It is given by intravenous infusion once every two weeks for three to six months.

Additionally, pentostatin has been used to treat steroid-refractory acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease.[5]

Pentostatin is also used in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients who have relapsed.

Synthesis

edit

This is the original synthetic pathway although improvements were made.
