Equitoxic Doses of 5-Azacytidine and 5-Aza-2′Deoxycytidine Induce Diverse Immediate and Overlapping Heritable Changes in the Transcriptome
29 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The hypomethylating agent 5-Azacytidine (5-Aza-CR) is the first drug to prolong overall survival in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Surprisingly, the deoxyribonucleoside analog 5-Aza-2'deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) did not have a similar effect on survival in a large clinical trial. Both drugs are thought to exert their effects after incorporation into DNA by covalent binding of DNA...
