Description

A cytidine analogue and inhibitor of DNA methyl transferases (DNMTs) with anti-cancer activity. This stable, hydrophilic compound forms covalent complexes between DNMT and zebularine-substrate DNA. It causes DNA lesions that block replication and cause replication fork collapse, leading to the formation of DNA double-strand breaks. It was also shown that zebularine-induced DNA methylation decrease in the IL-1β promoter region and disrupts molecular mechanisms of neuroinflammation. Moreover, this molecule down-regulates the DNA-methylation profile in the pluripotency genes’ promoters, which leads to improved development of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos.
