10302-78-0 Usage
Description
5-Azacytidine is an inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase, potentially serving to reverse epigenetic changes. It reduces hypermethylation associated with certain diseases, including myelodysplastic syndromes and cancer. 2’,3’,5’-triacetyl-5-Azacytidine is a prodrug form of 5-azacytidine that may be rapidly absorbed orally without formation of major metabolites in the gastrointestinal tract.

in vivo
in cd-1 mice, oral administration of tac for five days per week for 2 weeks didn’t result in animal deaths and weight loss, but induced changes in hematological parameters, lymph nodes, bone marrow, and duodenal epithelium. tac inhibited global dna methylation in the spleen and gut. in an in vivo l1210 leukemia model, tac exhibited antineoplastic activity [1].

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 10302-78-0 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,0,3,0 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 10302-78:
(7*1)+(6*0)+(5*3)+(4*0)+(3*2)+(2*7)+(1*8)=50
50 % 10 = 0
So 10302-78-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
