RX-3117 Usage And Synthesis

Uses

RX-3117 (TV-1360) is a potent and orally active anticancer and antimetaboliteagent. RX-3117 inhibits DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1). RX-3117 shows antiproliferative and anti-tumour activity. RX-3117 induces cell cycle arrest at S phase and apoptosis[1][2][3].

Definition

ChEBI: Roducitabine is a triol that is (1S,2R)-4-fluoro-3-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopent-3-ene-1,2-diol which is substituted by a 4-amino-2-oxopyrimidin-1(2H)-yl group at position 5. It is a cytidine analog which exhibits anticancer activity in several cancers, including gemcitabine-resistant tumours. It has a role as an antimetabolite, an antineoplastic agent, a prodrug, a DNA synthesis inhibitor and an apoptosis inducer. It is an organofluorine compound, a primary allylic alcohol and a triol.
