Mechanism of action

Clofarabine and fludarabine are purine nucleoside analogs that inhibit ribonucleotide reductase and DNA polymerase, leading to DNA strand breaks and apoptosis in rapidly dividing cells. Busulfan is an alkylating agent that cross-links DNA. Together, this triple-agent combination provides intensive myeloablation to eliminate malignant and host bone marrow cells before stem cell transplantation.
