Gemcitabine (2',2'-difluorodeoxy- cytidine, dFdC) is an analog of deoxycytidine. It is transformed to the active triphosphate (dFdCTP) after intracellular phosphorylation. Gemcitabine monophosphate is inserted into the DNA and inhibits DNA elongation as a false nucleotide. In contrast to other antimetabolites, an additional, altered nucleotide is inserted behind dFdC inhibiting repair mechanisms (masked chain termination).

Abstract

Gemcitabine (2',2'-difluorodeoxy- cytidine, dFdC) is an analog of deoxycytidine. It is transformed to the active triphosphate (dFdCTP) after intracellular phosphorylation. Gemcitabine monophosphate is inserted into the DNA and inhibits DNA elongation as a false nucleotide. In contrast to other antimetabolites, an additional, altered nucleotide is inserted behind dFdC inhibiting repair mechanisms (masked chain termination).
