DNMT1 and cancer: Many different DNMT inhibitors have been developed (nucleosides analogues such as Azacitidine, Decitabine and Zebularine or non-nucleosides analogues such as MG98, RG108 and Procainamide) and multiple molecular mechanisms by which DNMT inhibitors induce anti-cancer effects have been identified, in most cases by the modulation of specific genes involved in cellular processes such as apoptosis, cytostasis, differentiation and tumor angiogenesis.
