Structural Changes in Blast Cell Chromatin and DNA in Patients with Acute Leukemia After Cytosar and Irradiation Treatment
Conference paper
Abstract
It is known that chromatin DNA is the main target for many drugs in the living cell. Drugs which bind with double helix DNA are divided into two classes:
- 1)
those which directly interact with DNA and change its stability and conformation and
- 2)
those which indirectly influence DNA.
Cytosar (or β-cytosine arabinoside) belongs to the first class of drugs. Influence of Cytosar on DNA and RNA is not restricted only to its binding with these structures. It also makes ruptures in double helix DNA, causing cell destruction [1].
