NCIt definition : An orally available fixed-dose combination agent containing cedazuridine, a cytidine
deaminase (CDA) inhibitor, and the cytidine antimetabolite decitabine, with potential
antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration of tdecitabine and cedazuridine,
cedazuridine binds to and inhibits CDA, an enzyme primarily found in the gastrointestinal
(GI) tract and liver that catalyzes the deamination of cytidine and cytidine analogs.
This prevents the breakdown of decitabine, increases its bioavailability and efficacy
while decreasing GI toxicity due to the administration of lower doses of decitabine.
Decitabine exerts its antineoplastic activity through the incorporation of its triphosphate
form into DNA, which inhibits DNA methyltransferase and results in hypomethylation
of DNA. This interferes with DNA replication and decreases tumor cell growth.;
