Description

General description

A cell-permeable chemically stable cytidine analog that displays antitumor properties. Acts as transition state analog inhibitor of cytidine deaminase by binding at the active site as covalent hydrates. Also shown to inhibit DNA methylation and tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo.

A chemically stable, cytidine analog that displays anti-tumor properties. Acts as a transition state analog inhibitor of cytidine deaminase by binding to the active size as covalent hydrates. Also shown to inhibit DNA methylation and tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo.
