Its brand name is Leustatin, and it is commonly referred to as 2CDA.

A purine analog, it is a synthetic antineoplastic agent with immunosuppressive effects. Chemically, it mimics the nucleoside adenosine and thus inhibits the enzyme adenosine deaminase, which interferes with the cell's ability to process DNA. It is easily destroyed by normal cells in the body except for blood cells, with the result that it produces relatively few side effects and results in very little non-target cell loss.

Side Effects


About half of patients have no significant side effects from this treatment.
