Abstract: [Problem] To provide, in place of injected agents (such as Vidaza® and Dacogen®) clinically used as therapeutic drugs for high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, a medicine as a therapeutic drug or a prophylactic drug for various advanced solid tumors, said medicine having high stability with respect to cytidine deaminase which is a hydrolytic metabolic enzyme, being absorbed into the body even by oral administration, and having an effect of being integrated into a nucleic acid biosynthetic route and inhibiting DNA methyltransferases, i.e., DNMTs. [Solution] The aforementioned problem is solved by a novel compound represented by formula (I). (In the formula, R is a hydroxyl group or a hydrogen atom, and R1 and R2 are each a benzyl group that may have a substituent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a prodrug of 5-azacytidine or 2?-deoxy-5-azacytidine having remarkable stability against cytidine deaminase, a metabolic hydrolyzing enzyme in replacement of current injections (5-azacytidine or 2?-deoxy-5-azacytidine) which are clinically used as therapeutic agents for various myelomas including myelodysplastic syndrome. The present invention provides a compound represented by formula (1), or salt thereof, wherein, R is OR3 or a hydrogen atom, R1, R2, and R3 are each independently hydrogen atom or silyl group represented by formula (2): wherein, R4, R5, and R6 are each independently alkyl group which may have a substituent, aryl group which may have a substituent, or arylalkyl group which may have a substituent, with the provision that R1, R2, and R3 are not hydrogen atom simultaneously.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel compound represented by formula (1), or salt thereof, wherein R is hydroxy group or hydrogen atom; R1 and R2 are the same or different, and are each independently benzyl group which may have a substituent. The present invention provides therapeutically agents, which have remarkable stability against cytidine deaminase, a metabolic enzyme, can be absorbed in vivo by oral administration and inhibit protein synthesis by being incorporated easily into nucleic acid bio-synthesis in vivo for replacing injection agent (5-azacytidine or 2?-deoxy-5-azacytidine) used in clinic for treating myeloma.
