CAS 3690-10-6: Zebularine
Description:Zebularine, with the CAS number 3690-10-6, is a nucleoside analog that has garnered interest in the field of epigenetics and cancer research. It is structurally related to cytidine, featuring a unique modification that enhances its stability and bioavailability. Zebularine is known for its ability to inhibit DNA methyltransferases, enzymes responsible for adding methyl groups to DNA, which can lead to gene silencing. This property makes it a valuable tool for studying gene expression and potential therapeutic applications in cancer treatment, where abnormal methylation patterns are often observed. Zebularine is typically administered in vitro and has shown promise in reactivating silenced genes, thereby restoring normal cellular functions. Additionally, it has been investigated for its effects on cell proliferation and differentiation. However, its use in clinical settings is still under exploration, and further studies are needed to fully understand its pharmacological properties and potential side effects. Overall, zebularine represents a significant compound in the ongoing research into epigenetic modulation and its implications for disease treatment.
