Tech Sheet - Dr. Reddy’s Gemcitabine API offerings
Gemcitabine Hydrochloride is an analog of the antimetabolite nucleoside deoxycytidine with antineoplastic activity. Gemcitabine is converted intracellularly to the active metabolites difluorodeoxycytidine di-and triphosphate (dFdCDP and dFdCTP)
- dFdCDP - Inhibits ribonucleotide reductase, decreasing the deoxynucleotide pool available for DNA synthesis.
- dFdCTP - Incorporates into the DNA, resulting in DNA strand termination and apoptosis.
