 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [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.
 |  | [Chemical Properties] 
 White Solid
 |  | [Uses] 
 It is a cytidine analogue, cytidine deaminase inhibitor, and DNA demethylating agent
 |  | [Uses] 
 Zebularine is a DNA methylation inhibitor which acts by forming a covalent complex with DNMT. It displays antiangiogenic activity and markedly inhibits vessel formation in different tumor models. It reactivates silenced E-cadherin and potentiates the effects of other epigenetic therapeutics such as vorinistat. Induces differentiation of mesenchymal cells into cardiomyocytes. Inhibits cytidine deaminase.
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: Zebularine is a member of pyrimidine ribonucleosides.
 |  | [Biological Activity] 
 Orally  active  DNA  methyltransferase  inhibitor.  Inhibits  tumor  cell  proliferation  (IC  50 =  120 μ  M)  and  re-activates  silenced  genes  in  T24  bladder  carcinoma  cells.  Also  inhibits  cytidine  deaminase  (K  i ~  2 μ  M).
 |  | [Biochem/physiol Actions] 
 Zebularine is a cytidine analogue, cytidine deaminase inhibitor, and DNA demethylating agent.
 |  | [Synthesis] 
 
 The general procedure for the synthesis of 1-((2R,3R,4S,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one from the compound (CAS: 52523-24-7) was as follows: compound 15 (9.5 g, 17.6 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (100 mL) and cooled to 0 °C. To this cooled solution a methanol solution of 7N ammonia (245 mL) was slowly added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 25°C for 24 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with water and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane: methanol = 10:1) to afford compound 16 (3.8 g, 94% yield) as a white solid. Its 1H NMR (400 MHz, methanol-d4) data were as follows: δ 8.79 (dd, J = 6.8, 2.8 Hz, 1H), 8.57 (dd, J = 4.0, 2.8 Hz, 1H), 6.58 (dd, J = 6.8, 4.4 Hz, 1H), 5.86 (s, 1H), 4.15-4.10 (m, 3H), 3.98 ( dd, J = 12.4, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 3.79 (dd, J = 12.8, 2.0 Hz, 1H). |  | [storage]
