What is ZEBULARINE?

Description

Zebularine (3690-10-6) is an orally active DNA methyltransferase inhibitor. Inhibits tumor cell proliferation (IC50 = 120 μM) and re-activates silenced genes in T24 bladder carcinoma cells. Zebularine inhibits cytidine deaminase (Ki ~ 2 μM and; induces differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes.
