Mechanism of action

Cladribine and cytarabine are nucleoside analogs that inhibit DNA synthesis in leukemic blasts. Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent that cross-links DNA. Daunorubicin is an anthracycline that intercalates into DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that enhances the cytotoxic effects and reduces inflammation. Together, these agents target leukemic cells through multiple mechanisms of DNA damage and cell death.
