Excerpt

Cedazuridine is a small molecule inhibitor of cytidine deaminase that is used as a pharmacoenhancer of decitabine to increase oral bioavailability of this DNA methylase inhibitor treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes. The combination of oral decitabine and cedazuridine is associated with a low rate of minor serum enzyme elevations during therapy that is usually attributed to decitabine. The oral combination has not been linked to cases of clinically apparent liver injury.
