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.

Somatic cell nuclear transfer in mammalian cloning suffers from a faulty epigenetic reprogramming, which is believed to cause developmental failures in cloned embryos. Regulating the epigenetic-modifying enzymes can rescue the chromatin of cloned embryos from aberrant epigenetic status, thereby potentially
