Acozacit 100mg Injection

Acozacit 100mg Injection is indicated for treating adults with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), particularly in patients who are not eligible for stem cell transplant. In Myelodysplastic Syndrome, the bone marrow fails to produce healthy blood cells due to impaired function. Acute Myeloid Leukaemia is a type of bone marrow cancer characterised by the release of incompletely formed blood cells into the bloodstream. The mechanism of action involves targeting abnormal cells in the bone marrow to restore proper blood cell production and improve overall blood cell counts. This helps support the body's capacity to fight infections, transport oxygen, and prevent bleeding complications.

Acozacit 100mg uses are Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia with 20-30% blasts in patients who are not eligible for Haemopoietic stem cell transplant Intermediate-2 and High-risk Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)

In MDS and AML, the development of tumor cells is caused by the process of transcriptional repression of various genes, which is due to hypermethylation of DNA. Transcriptional repression is a process where proteins bind directly or indirectly to DNA and control the activity of copying a specific gene or a set of genes. The active form of Acozacit 100mg Injection binds to RNA and DNA, interrupts their activity in actively multiplying cells and exhibits a toxic effect on cancer cells.
