| Targets |
FdCyd acts as a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor. As a prodrug, it is converted into the cytotoxic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by intracellular deaminases. 5-FU is then metabolized into active metabolites, including 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP) and 5-fluorouridine triphosphate (FUTP). FdUMP binds to and inhibits thymidylate synthase, reducing thymidine monophosphate production and depleting thymidine triphosphate, thereby inhibiting DNA synthesis and cell division. FUTP competes with uridine triphosphate for RNA incorporation, inhibiting RNA and protein synthesis.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro studies demonstrate that FdCyd inhibits DNA methyltransferase activity, leading to the reactivation of silenced tumor suppressor genes. The compound's conversion to 5-fluorouracil and its subsequent metabolites results in the inhibition of DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis, and cell division. FdCyd's antimetabolite activity has been characterized in various cancer cell lines, supporting its potential as an antitumor agent.
|
| ln Vivo |
FdCyd has been evaluated in vivo in therapeutic trials for various tumors, including lung cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, and bladder cancer. As an antimetabolite composed of fluorinated pyrimidine analogs, it has potential antitumor activity. The compound is currently in clinical trials for breast cancer and other solid tumors. Its in vivo activity is mediated through its conversion to active metabolites that inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular enzyme assays for FdCyd involve assessing its inhibition of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) activity using purified recombinant DNMT enzymes. The enzyme is incubated with a DNA substrate and a methyl donor (S-adenosylmethionine) in the presence of varying concentrations of FdCyd. The incorporation of methyl groups into the DNA substrate is measured using radiolabeled [³H]-SAM or by using a fluorescence-based assay. IC50 values for DNMT inhibition are determined from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for FdCyd involve treating cancer cell lines with the compound and assessing cell viability, proliferation, and DNA methylation status. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of FdCyd for 72 hours, and cell viability is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo® assays. The inhibition of DNA methylation is assessed by bisulfite sequencing or methylation-specific PCR (MSP) to detect the reactivation of silenced genes. The induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest is evaluated by flow cytometry.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with FdCyd are conducted in mouse xenograft models of human tumors. Tumor-bearing mice are treated with FdCyd via intraperitoneal or oral administration, and tumor growth inhibition is monitored. Endpoints include tumor volume measurements, assessment of DNA methylation status in tumor tissue by bisulfite sequencing, and evaluation of pharmacodynamic markers such as the expression of silenced tumor suppressor genes. The compound's pharmacokinetic properties and toxicity are also assessed in these studies.

5-Fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine is a white fine powder. (NTP, 1992)
5-Fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine belongs to the pyrimidine class of compounds and is an organohalide. 5-Fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine has been used in therapeutic trials for various tumors, including lung cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, and bladder cancer. 5-Fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine is an antimetabolite composed of fluorinated pyrimidine analogs and has potential antitumor activity. As a prodrug, 5-Fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine is converted into the cytotoxic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by intracellular deaminases. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is then metabolized into active metabolites, including 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP) and 5-fluorouridine triphosphate (FUTP). FdUMP binds to and inhibits the activity of thymidine synthase, thereby reducing the production of thymidine monophosphate, leading to the depletion of thymidine triphosphate. This inhibits DNA synthesis and cell division. FUTP competes with uridine triphosphate for RNA incorporation, thereby inhibiting RNA and protein synthesis. Other fluorouracil metabolites also incorporate into DNA and RNA, further hindering cell growth. FdCyd (5-Fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine; CAS 10356-76-0) is a fluoropyrimidine nucleoside analog and DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor. It is a tumor-selective prodrug that is converted to 5-fluorouracil and active metabolites that inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis. FdCyd has been used in therapeutic trials for various tumors, including lung, breast, head and neck, and bladder cancers. It is currently in clinical trials for breast cancer and other solid tumors. The compound is available from various commercial suppliers for research applications. |
