Pseudoisocytidine
A synthetic, pyrimidine C-5 nucleoside with antineoplastic activity. Pseudoisocytidine, after conversion into pseudoisocytidine triphosphate, is incorporated into DNA and RNA eventually halting tumor cell proliferation. Compared to 5-azacytidine and cytarabine, this agent shows enhanced stability and resistance to enzymatic deamination. (NCI Thesaurus)
