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.
