azacitidine
Immuno Disease Comments: Approved drug for myelodysplastic syndrome.
Clinical Use: Antineoplastic agent used in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome.
(an HDAC inhibitor, which has an epigenetic priming effect [1]) is being evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial alongside azacitidine prior to check-point immunotherapy with in patients with recurrent metastatic non-small cell lung cancer- see NCT01928576. Onureg® was approved by the EMA in 2021, for the treatment of AML. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: We have been unable to find publicly available affinity data for this drug at its proposed molecular target(s) to substantiate its MMOA, and have therefore not tagged a primary drug target. | View biological activity
