Synonyms: (4R)-2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrouridine | ASTX727 (cedazuridine + decitabine) | compound 7a [PMID: 24520856]
cedazuridine is an approved drug (FDA (2020), EMA (2023))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Cedazuridine is a tetrahydrouridine-derived, orally available synthetic nucleoside analogue that was developed by Astex Pharmaceuticals. It inhibits cytidine deaminase (CDA) and was designed to be used as a pharmacoenhancer of drugs that are subject to CDA-mediated breakdown, for example the cytidine analogue antineoplastic hypomethylating agent decitabine. This mechanism permits oral delivery of decitabine (by inhibiting decitabine degradation in the gut and liver). It also allows lower doses of decitabine to be used, which improves tolerability to this cancer drug, whose administration is associated with GI-toxicity.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |
