LC Laboratories' Product Number A-5959 - Azacitidine, Free Base (5-AzaC; 5-Azacytidine; 5-AZC; 5-AZCR; 5-Azacitidine; Azacitidinum; Ladakamycin; Ledakamycin; Mylosar; U 18496; Vidaza; WR 183027, CAS 320-67-2), >99% - for research use only. Azacitidine is a chemical analog of cytidine, a nucleoside found in DNA and RNA. It inhibits DNA methyltransferase and leads to hypomethylation in the promoter region of transcriptionally silenced genes. Azacytidine demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against both conventional therapy-sensitive and therapy-resistant multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines, as well as multidrug-resistant patient-derived MM cells, with IC50 values of approximately 0.8-3 µM. Azacytidine treatment induced DNA double-strand breaks and apoptosis of MM cells. Azacitidine is the active ingredient in the drug product sold under the trade names Mylosar® and Vidaza®. This drug is currently approved in at least one country for use in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome.
