6-Methylpurine-2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-beta-D-arabinoriboside

Uses

6-Methylpurine-2’-deoxy-2’-fluoro-beta-D-arabinoriboside is a purine nucleoside analogue. Purine nucleoside analogs have broad antitumor activity targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies. Anticancer mechanisms in this process rely on inhibition of DNA synthesis, induction of apoptosis, etc[1].
