5-Azacytidine (5-Aza, Azacitidine) DNA Methyltransferase inhibitor

Cat.No.S1782

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:
Is the vehicle (30% Propylene glycol, 5% Tween 80, 65% D5W) for it (Catalog No.S1782) safe for subcutaneous dosing?

Answer:
S1782 in 30% Propylene glycol+5% Tween 80+65% D5W at 30mg/ml is a suspension. If you are going to administrate this compound for oral gavage, it is fine. But if you administrate it via injection, you need a clear solution and it can be dissolved in 5% DMSO+30% PEG 300+ddH2O at 10mg/ml clearly.

Dilution Calculator

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:

Concentration _(start) x Volume _(start) = Concentration _(final) x Volume _(final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )

*When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).
