Azacitidine | Vidaza | azacytidine|CC-486|5-azacytidine|5-AC|U-18496|Onureg | DNMT inhibitor (Pan) 5 | Vidaza (azacitidine) is a cytidine analog that incorporates into DNA and RNA and binds to DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), resulting in DNMT degradation and decreased DNA methylation, and leading to increased tumor cell death (PMID: 28159832, PMID: 28067760). Vidaza (azacitidine) is FDA-approved for use in patients with some subtypes of myelodysplastic syndrome and Onureg (azacitidine) is FDA approved for use in continued treatment of acute myeloid leukemia(FDA.gov). |
Evorpacept | ALX-148|ALX 148|ALX148 | CD47 Antibody 31 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor 149 | Evorpacept (ALX148) is a chimeric protein consisting of the Fc region of immunoglobulin fused to the CD47 SIRPa-binding domain, that blocks the ability of CD47 to bind SIRPa on macrophages thereby promoting phagocytosis of tumor cells (PMID: 28286286), and may also stimulate cytotoxic T-cells (PMID: 29873856). |
