Clofarabine is a anti-cancer drug which was approved by FDA for the treatment of pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After crossing the cell membrane the drug is rapidly metabolized by deoxycytidine kinase to diphosphate and triphosphate metabolites and these metabolites reversibly inhibit hRNR by binding to alpha subunit. Also the triphosphate is incorporated to DNA where it acts as a chain terminator.

m-Chlorophenylpiperazine (meta-chlorophenylpiperazine or mCPP) is a psychoactive substance, which is illegal in many countries but can be found on the black market. It induces endocrine, neurological and psychiatric effects. mCPP is a partial agonist at the 5-HT2C receptor but antagonized the 5-HT2B and 5-HT3 receptors. mCPP is also an active metabolite of the drug trazodone, which is used as an effective antidepressant drug with a broad therapeutic spectrum, including anxiolytic efficacy. It is known, that mCPP induces migraine attacks and that the decrease of food intake induced by the mCPP depends on its ability to act as a serotonin agonist is a brain.
