CAS 220793-03-3: 1H-Imidazole,1-(5-deoxy-5-fluoro-a-D-arabinofuranosyl)-2-nitro-

1-(5'-Deoxy-5'-fluoro-a-D-arabinofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole is an anticancer drug that has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in vivo. This drug binds to the integrin receptor, which is expressed on the surface of cells and is involved in the process of cell adhesion. 1-(5'-Deoxy-5'-fluoro-a-D-arabinofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole inhibits tumor growth by inhibiting hypoxic tumor formation. Hypoxia is a condition where there is not enough oxygen for normal cell function. This drug has also been shown to reduce inflammation, which may be due to its ability to inhibit proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β and TNFα, from binding to their receptors on cells. 1-(5'-Deoxy-5'-fluoro-a-D-arabinofuranosyl)-
