The DNA Methyltransferase Inhibitor 5-Aza-4′-thio-2′-Deoxycytidine Induces C>G Transversions and Acute Lymphoid Leukemia Development
4 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi), most commonly cytidine analogs, are compounds that decrease 5'-cytosine methylation. DNMTi are used clinically based on the hypothesis that cytosine demethylation will lead to re-expression of tumor suppressor genes. 5-Aza-4'-thio-2'-deoxycytidine (Aza-TdCyd or ATC) is a recently described thiol-substituted DNMTi that has been shown to have anti-tumor activity in solid...
