Hydroxyurea is a chemical compound primarily used in medical treatments. It has the chemical formula C3H6N2O2 and exists as a white to off-white crystalline powder.

 

1. Cancer Treatment: Hydroxyurea is utilized in the management of certain types of cancer, particularly chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and polycythemia vera. It works by inhibiting the production of DNA, thereby slowing the growth and division of cancer cells.
2. Sickle Cell Disease: It is also prescribed for patients with sickle cell disease to reduce the frequency of painful crises and the need for blood transfusions. By increasing the production of fetal hemoglobin, hydroxyurea helps to change the shape of sickle cells, making them less likely to clog blood vessels.
3. Myeloproliferative Disorders: In addition, hydroxyurea finds application in the treatment of other myeloproliferative disorders where it helps to control the abnormal production of blood cells.

1. DNA Synthesis Inhibition: The primary function of hydroxyurea is to inhibit ribonucleotide reductase, an enzyme essential for the synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. By blocking this process, hydroxyurea disrupts DNA replication and cellular proliferation.
2. Cytoreduction: In cancer treatment, hydroxyurea functions as a cytoreductive agent, reducing the number of cancer cells by inhibiting their growth and division. This helps to manage the disease and alleviate symptoms.
3. Hemoglobin Regulation: In sickle cell disease, hydroxyurea functions by stimulating the production of fetal hemoglobin, which is more effective at transporting oxygen than the abnormal hemoglobin found in sickle cells. This leads to a reduction in the symptoms associated with the disease.
