Antineoplastic purine nucleoside analog used in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; pro-drug of Ara-G.
Nelarabine is an antineoplastic purine nucleoside analog used in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is a pro-drug of Ara-G, which is converted by cellular kinases to the active 5′-triphosphate, Ara-GTP. Incorporation of Ara-GTP into DNA leads to inhibition of DNA synthesis and apoptosis.
Nelarabine was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2005 for the treatment of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) that has not responded to or has relapsed after treatment with at
Nelarabine has shown impressive single agent clinical activity in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), but has been associated with significant neurotoxicities in heavily pre-treated patients. We showed previously that it was safe to add nelarabine to a BFM-86 chemotherapy backbone
