摘要: Cladribine, also known as 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA) or Leustatin®, is an adenosine deaminase-resistant purine nucleoside that selectively targets lymphoid cells, with relatively low toxicity toward other tissues (Beutler 1992). The history of the development cladribine begins discovery a relationship between severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) lymphopenia and inherited deficiency enzyme deaminase (ADA). ADA was discovered serendipitously by Giblett et al. in 1972 while investigating linkage to variety genetic markers. For many years SCID results from complete not understood.
