dna methylation

5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5MedCyd) is a pyrimidine nucleoside that when incorporated into single-stranded DNA can act in cis to signal de novo.

Uracil is a common naturally occurring pyrimidine found in RNA, it base pairs with adenine and is replaced by thymine in DNA. Methylation of uracil produces thymine. Uracil's use in the body is to help carry out the synthesis of many enzymes necessary for cell function through bonding with riboses and phosphates. Uracil serves as allosteric regulator and coenzyme for many important biochemical reactions.

5-Azacytidine (Ladakamycin) is a cytidine nucleoside analog, a DNA methylation inhibitor with specificity. 5-Azacytidine regulates gene expression by decreasing the level of DNA methylation. 5-Azacytidine induces autophagy and has antitumor activity.

Caffeic Acid is an orally bioavailable, hydroxycinnamic acid derivative and polyphenol, with potential anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antineoplastic activities.

7-Methylguanine, a metabolite of DNA methylation, is generated by methylating agents. It is utilized as a probe for DNA–protein interactions and serves as a crucial component in DNA sequencing methods.
