Scientific Background | Zebularine is a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor that induces DNA hypomethylation and reactivates silenced genes. In neurodegenerative disease research, Zebularine is used to explore the role of epigenetic modifications in neuronal plasticity, memory, and neuroinflammation. It is particularly relevant in studies of Alzheimer’s disease, where aberrant DNA methylation contributes to gene silencing and synaptic dysfunction. Zebularine’s stability and low toxicity make it a useful tool for investigating epigenetic therapies in the central nervous system. |
