  • Publication number: 20230416294
    Abstract: Novel N4-substituted decitabine analogs are disclosed that exhibit promising in vitro and in vivo therapeutic activity. These novel compounds were shown to be resistant to deamination via cytidine deaminase (CDA) metabolism and provide a unique pharmacokinetic profile versus decitabine, while retaining the ability to induce DNA demethylation in target cells. These novel compounds can be used for treating hematological cancers, as well for new therapeutic interventions, including bacterial or viral pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary fibrosis, transplantation and checkpoint inhibitor-induced adverse events, including pneumonitis.
