Differential cytotoxicity of cytosine arabinoside toward murine leukemia L1210 cells and murine bone marrow progenitor cells inhibited in nucleoside transport by cimicifugoside. 1981

H Hemmi

Cytotoxicities of cytosine arabinoside (Ara C) and showdomycin to murine L1210 leukemia cells was prevented by a nucleoside transport inhibitor, cimicifugoside. Ara C toxicity to bone marrow progenitor cells, however, was observed even in the presence of cimicifugoside. The difference of Ara C toxicity toward L1210 cells and bone marrow cells pretreated with cimicifugoside may be originated in the different characteristics of membrane transport site of nucleosides.

D003561	Cytarabine	A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.
