Mechanism of action

Cytarabine is a nucleoside analog that inhibits DNA polymerase and blocks DNA synthesis, while daunorubicin is a topoisomerase II inhibitor that causes DNA strand breaks. The liposomal encapsulation allows preferential uptake by leukemic blasts, particularly in the central nervous system, improving drug delivery and reducing systemic toxicity to normal tissues.
