Effect of cytosine arabinoside 5'-triphosphate on mammalian DNA polymerase.

TLDR
About 90% of the radio-activity in the DNA product after treatment with micrococcal nuclease and spleen phosphodiesterase was released as 3H-cytosine arabinoside, suggesting that most of the incorporation was at the 3′-hydroxyl terminal end and not within the polydeoxynucleotide chain.

Correlation of cytotoxicity with incorporation of ara-C into DNA.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the incorporation of ara-C into DNA is one mechanism responsible for producing lethal cellular events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of hydroxyurea and 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-cytosine on deoxyribonucleotide pools in mouse embryo cells.

TL;DR: The results show that the inhibition of DNA synthesis by hydroxyurea is correlated with diminishing pools of dGTP and dATP and a decreased turnover of dTTP, indicating a generally decreased deoxyribonucleotide formation presumably due to the inhibited ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase.

Ara-C: Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology

TL;DR: The antimetabolite cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) represents a prototype of the nucleoside analog class of antineoplastic agents and remains one of the most effective drugs used in the treatment of acute leukemia as well as other hematopoietic malignancies.
Journal Article

The effect of-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine on growth, viability, and DNA synthesis of mouse L-cells.

TL;DR: Results of studies on growth and cell viability suggest that at higher concentrations ara-C rapidly killed S phase cells but temporarily blocked the progression of cells from G 1 into S, and thus partially protected against its own toxicity, and agrees with a model in which inhibition of DNA synthesis is the result of inhibition ofDNA polymerase.

Enzymatic Synthesis of Deoxyribonucleic Acid. VIII. Frequencies of Nearest Neighbor Base Sequences in Deoxyribonucleic Acid

TL;DR: In the studies to be reported here, the frequencies of the 16 possible nearest neighbor pairs in a variety of DNA’s are derived by the technique of enzymatic incorporation of 5'-Pazlabeled nucleotides into DNA and then degradation of the DNA into 3’-nucleotides.

Inhibition of mammalian DNA polymerase by the 5'-triphosphate of 1-beta-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine and the 5'-triphosphate of 9-beta-d-arabinofuranoxyladenine.

TL;DR: Studies indicate that the inhibition of mammalian DNA polymerase by the 5′-triphosphate of 9-β-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-ATP) is also competitive with the corresponding deoxytriphosphates.

The incorporation of 3H-cytosine arabinoside and its effect on murine leukemic cells (L5178Y).

TL;DR: Murine leukemic cells, L5178Y, inhibited by a low level of cytosine arabino-side for 6 hr could be rescued by deoxycytidine, and the incorporation into RNA could be correlated with irreversible inhibition of cell reproduction.
