LeustatinThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Leustatin but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Leustatin (when available) Cladribine is a synthetic antineoplastic agent indicated for the treatment of active Hairy Cell Leukemia as defined by clinically significant anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia or disease-related symptoms. Cladribine is an antimetabolite. Cladribine's action is cell cycle-phase nonspecific; cladribine affects both dividing and resting lymphocytes. For the treatment of active Hairy Cell Leukemia as defined by clinically significant anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia or disease-related symptoms Mechanism Of Action: Cladribine is structurally related to fludarabine and pentostatin but has a different mechanism of action. It is phosphorylated by deoxycytidine kinase to the corresponding nucleotide CdATP which accumulates and is incorporated into the DNA of cells such as lymphocytes. The phosphorylated metabolites of cladribine tend to accumulate in cells with a high ratio of deoxycytidine kinase activity to 5' nucleotidase activity (lymphocytes, monocytes ) and are converted to the active triphosphate deoxynucleotide. Intracellular accumulation of toxic deoxynucleotides selectively kills these cells, which become unable to properly repair single-strand DNA breaks, leading to disruption of cell metabolism. In addition, there is some evidence that deoxynucleotides are incorporated into the DNA of dividing cells and impair DNA synthesis. Cladribine also induces apoptosis (a form of programmed cell death in sensitive cells). Cladribine is resistant to the action of adenosine deaminase (ADA), which normally deaminates deoxyadenosine to deoxyinosine.
