Biological Activity
Methylation studies show that an LD10 dose of [3H]DHAC results in a 25.06% hypomethylation of DNA in L1210/0 cells and a 46.32% hypomethylation in a deoxycytidine kinase mutant cell line L1210/dCK(-), compared with their respective controls[2].
Dihydro-5-azacytidine (DHAC) competes with cytidine triphosphate for incorporation into RNA, leading to ribosomal degradation and defective protein synthesis[1].
