Product Description
Mechanism of Action
AZACITIDINE exhibits a broad-spectrum mechanistic footprint involving catalyticdomain modulation, multiaxis signalling interference, mitochondrial energynetwork recalibration, membranepotential stabilization/destabilization, ionflux redistribution, cytoskeletalarchitecture remodelling, redoxequilibrium disruption and transcriptionfactor network reprogramming. Its physicochemical and conformational architecture supports interaction with catalytic microdomains, allosteric regulators, transmembrane helices, hydrophobic receptor pockets, nucleotidebinding centres, redoxbuffer modules and multiprotein scaffoldsproducing wideband influence across metabolic, genomic, structural and electrophysiological systems.
AZACITIDINE may alter phosphorylation topology across ERK/MAPK/JNK/p38 and PI3KAKT signalling chains, shift Gprotein signalling geometry, reconfigure Ca²⁺ microdomain amplitude/propagation, reshape IP/DAG cascade architecture, and recalibrate cAMPPKA signalling thresholds. Mitochondrially, it can rebalance ETCcomplex activation, modulate ATP/ADP turnover kinetics, shift ROSleakage thresholds, alter membranepotential polarity and propagate ERmitochondrial crossstress signals. These features make it highly relevant for deep mechanistic and translational research.

Datasheet
| Molecular Formula | C8H12N4O5 |
|---|---|
| Molecular Weight | 244.20 g/mol |
| CAS Number | 320-67-2 |
| Storage Condition | Intact vials should be stored under refrigeration & are stable for a least 4 yr. Although the drug is stable for 3 yr at room temp, refrigeration is recommended because degradation may result at elevated temperatures. The constituted soln hydrolyzes at room temp & should be used within 30 min. … Azacitidine 0.5 & 2 mg/ml in Ringer's injection, lactated, was stable for up to one month when frozen at -20 °C in polypropylene syringes. |
| Solubility | 5 to 10 mg/mL at 70 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Purity | Purity information is available upon request (COA). |
