Pentostatin functions as a potent adenosine deaminase inhibitor, a key enzyme in purine metabolism. By binding to the active site of Pentostatin, the enzyme′s catalytic activity is hindered. Consequently, adenosine builds up due to this inhibition, providing an abundant substrate for other purine metabolism enzymes to utilize..
