Product Description
A nucleoside analog of deoxycytidine used in chemotherapy to treat various types of cancer. Gemcitabine is converted intracellularly to the active metabolites difluorodeoxycytidine di- and triphosphate (dFdCDP, dFdCTP). dFdCDP inhibits ribonucleotide reductase, thereby decreasing the deoxynucleotide pool available for DNA synthesis; dFdCTP is incorporated into DNA, resulting in DNA strand termination and apoptosis.
Gemcitabine Hydrochloride is a nucleoside analog of deoxycytidine used in chemotherapy to treat various types of cancer.
