5-Azacytidine
-
- Application
- Inhibition (Inh)
- Purpose
- DNA hypomethylation agent
- Characteristics
- Specific inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase. Incorporates into DNA and covalently reacts with and inhibits DNA methyltransferases. Induces demethylation and reactivation of silenced genes. Increases stem cell reprogramming efficiency. Induces cardiac differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells by activating ERK. Induces apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells via ATR-mediated DNA double strand breaks. Cell permeable.
