The mechanisms that establish and maintain methylation patterns in the mammalian genome are very poorly understood, even though perturbations of methylation patterns lead to a loss of genomic imprinting, ectopic X chromosome inactivation, and death of mammalian embryos. A family

Treatment of C57BL X DBA/2 F (hereafter called BD2F) mice bearing ascitic mammary adenocarcinoma-755 (ADC-755) with [3H]-5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine ([3H]FdCyd) plus tetrahydrouridine (H4Urd) resulted in antimetabolite pool sizes indicative of a tumor-selective, dual pathway metabolism of FdCyd via both cytidine deaminase and

In vivo, the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (FdCyd, NSC-48006), is rapidly converted to its unwanted metabolites. Tetrahydrouridine (THU, NSC-112907), a cytidine deaminase inhibitor can block the first metabolic step in FdCyd catabolism. Clinical studies have shown that co-administration with THU

Cleavage by restriction endonucleases MvaI kappa EcoRII of DNA duplexes, in which the internal deoxycytidine in one of the strands of the recognition site is substituted for 5-fluorodeoxycytidine, has been studied. It has been found that the modified strands of
