Hydrolysis of 5-azacytidine, an experimental anticancer drug, in aqueous buffers was measured using a high-pressure liquid chromatographic (HPLC) procedure and a 13C-NMR method. The hydrolysis sequence as well as the existence of a labile intermediate, N-formylguanylribosylurea, was unequivocally established using 6-13C-5-azacytidine and NMR spectral techniques. A reversible ring opening step to the N-formylguanylribosylurea with an equilibrium constant of 0.58 .+-. 0.03 between pH 5.6 and 8.5, followed by an irreversible formation of guanylribosylurea, was found by HPLC. The data confirm previous assumptions on the hydrolytic kinetics. The pH dependency of hydrolysis was examined, and the hydrolysis profile gave a normal V shape with the most stable pH at 7.0. Rather stable i.v. dosage forms can be formulated.
