General description

3-Deazaneplanocin A hydrochloride is a carbocyclic analog of adenosine. It has antimetastatic property. It is used to treat Ebola virus disease, gastric cancer, myeloma and lymphoma.

Application

3-Deazaneplanocin A hydrochloride has been used to examine the potential involvement of autophagy and apoptosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells.
3-Deazaneplanocin A hydrochloride has been used to test its effect on ovarian tumor progression. It has also been used as a S-adenosyl homocysteine hydrolase (SAH) inhibitor in c33A2 cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

3-Deazaneplanocin A (DZNep) is an S-Adenosylhomocysteine Hydrolase inhibitor and histone methyltransferase EZH2 inhibitor. It switches on repressed tumor suppressor genes and induces apoptosis by inhibiting the expression of EZH2.
