General information
Class/mechanism: Purine analog, antimetabolite. Nelarabine is metabolized to the cytotoxic deoxyguanosine analog, 9-β-Darabinofuranosylguanine (ara-G), which is eventually converted to ara-GTP. ara-GTP is incorporated into DNA and leads to inhibition of DNA synthesis and cell death.[1][2]
Route: IV
Extravasation: neutral
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
