Disease relevance of NSC 524767

6-azacytidine demonstrates activity against adenoviruses types 1, 2, 5 [1].

High impact information on NSC 524767

Exposure to 5-azacytidine, which decreases methylation of DNA and may thereby activate gene transcription, increased the incidence of anchorage-independent growth 20 times; whereas treatment with 6-azacytidine had no effect [2].
In addition, the hypomethylating agent 5-azadeoxycytidine also transformed primary rat tracheal epithelial cells, whereas 6-azacytidine, a cytosine analogue which does not induce DNA hypomethylation, did not [3].
In an assay for mutation to ouabain resistance in 10T 1/2 cells, which detects base substitution mutations but not frameshift mutations, 5-AzaCR and 6-azacytidine were not significantly mutagenic [4].
Although neither 6-azacytidine nor 4 wk of 5-azacytidine treatment affected male reproductive organ weights or sperm counts, 11 wk of 5-azacytidine resulted in dose-dependent reductions in testis and epididymal weights and sperm counts [5].
N4-amino-acid derivatives of 6-azacytidine: structure-activity relationship [6].

Associations of NSC 524767 with other chemical compounds

The X-ray crystallographic conformations of 6-azauridine and 6-azacytidine have been attributed to intermolecular hydrogen bonding and crystal packing forces [7].
