It is a ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit nucleoside diphosphate reductase, prevent nucleotides from being reduced to deoxynucleotides, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid, without interfering with the synthesis of ribonucleic acid or protein. It is a cell cycle-specific drug, more sensitive to differentiated and proliferated cells, with lower toxicity, and faster oral absorption. The plasma concentration reaches the highest level after 2 hours and disappears after 6 hours.
