OSI-7836

OSI-7836 Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

OSI-7836 is a member of the nucleoside class of cytotoxic drugs of which gemcitabine is the market leader. OSI Pharmaceuticals develops OSI-7836 as a next-generation gemcitabine. The anti-tumor activity of OSI-7836 appeares to be less schedule dependent than gemcitabine. It is also more active than ara-C (another clinically used nucleoside analog) in all nine models and more active than either paclitaxel or cisplatin in the two lung xenograft models tested. This drug shows no unexpected toxicities; those observed appeared to be similar to other nucleoside agents.

How OSI-7836 works

OSI-7836 appears to have a different mechanism of tumor growth inhibition blocking the cell division cycle at a different point (the G2 phase) than gemcitabine. The mechanism of action involves phosphorylation to the triphosphate form followed by incorporation into cellular DNA, leading to cell death.
