Decitabine
|
Decitabine is a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, incorporating into DNA and resulting in hypomethylation of DNA and intra-S-phase arrest of DNA replication. It is used to treat myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Decitabine induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in various cancer cell lines.

5-Azacytidine (5-Aza, Azacitidine)
|
Azacitidine (5-Azacytidine, 5-AzaC, Ladakamycin, AZA, 5-Aza, CC-486,NSC 102816) is a nucleoside analogue of cytidine that specifically inhibits DNA methylation by trapping DNA methyltransferases. Azacitidine induces mitochondrial apoptosis and autophagy.

Gemcitabine Hydrochloride
|
Gemcitabine is a pyrimidine nucleoside analog antitumor drug that can inhibit DNA synthesis and repair, leading to cell autophagy and apoptosis. It is mainly used to treat various solid tumors such as pancreatic cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, and is often combined with chemotherapy to enhance efficacy.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)
|
5-FU (5-Fluorouracil) is a DNA/RNA synthesis inhibitor, which interrupts nucleotide synthetic by inhibiting thymidylate synthase (TS) in tumor cells. Fluorouracil induces apoptosis and can be used in the treatment of HIV.
