Product Description
Cytarabine Hydrochloride (Ara-C HCl), CAS 69-74-9, is a synthetic pyrimidine nucleoside analog widely used in preclinical oncology research to inhibit DNA synthesis and induce apoptosis in rapidly proliferating cells. Structurally related to deoxycytidine, Cytarabine incorporates into DNA during replication, leading to chain termination, S-phase arrest, and activation of DNA damage responses.
Its high-purity powder form allows precise dosing in in vitro and in vivo studies, enabling researchers to investigate cellular mechanisms underlying cytotoxicity, DNA replication stress, cell-cycle regulation, and apoptotic pathways. Cytarabine Hydrochloride is a vital tool for exploring drug resistance mechanisms, combination therapy effects, and DNA damage repair pathways in cancer research.
Upon cellular uptake, Cytarabine is phosphorylated by deoxycytidine kinase to its active triphosphate form, Ara-CTP. Ara-CTP competes with deoxycytidine triphosphate during DNA synthesis, resulting in chain termination and stalled replication forks. The accumulation of DNA damage triggers ATR/ATM-mediated checkpoint signaling, leading to cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis via caspase-dependent pathways.
Cytarabine Hydrochloride is widely used in combination studies with kinase inhibitors, chemotherapeutic agents, or DNA repair modulators to evaluate synergistic or antagonistic cytotoxic effects. Its powder formulation ensures high stability, accurate quantification, and reproducibility for both in vitro cytotoxicity assays and in vivo preclinical models.

Mechanism of Action
DNA Synthesis Inhibition
Cytarabine Hydrochloride is phosphorylated intracellularly to Ara-CTP, which competes with deoxycytidine triphosphate during DNA synthesis. Incorporation into DNA leads to chain termination, replication fork stalling, and S-phase arrest.
DNA Damage Response Activation
Stalled replication forks trigger ATR/ATM-mediated checkpoint signaling.
CHK1 and CHK2 phosphorylation occurs, initiating DNA repair pathways.
p53-dependent and independent apoptosis pathways are engaged.
Apoptosis Induction
Mitochondrial depolarization and cytochrome c release.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation contributes to cytotoxic stress.
Caspase-3 and -9 activation triggers intrinsic apoptotic pathways.
Combination and Resistance Studies
Cytarabine is widely used to study combination effects with DNA repair inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, or chemotherapeutic agents. It is also employed to investigate resistance mechanisms such as nucleoside transporter deficiency, deoxycytidine kinase mutations, and DNA repair pathway compensation.
Side Effects
