Introduction: Wrist fractures, particularly the distal radius, can result in significant stiffness and hand dysfunction if not mobilized early. The variable immobilization period post-fracture depends on fracture type, location, stability, and surgical intervention. Inadequate early mobilization typically leads to structured stiffness, influenced by patient health, injury mechanism, joint surface involvement, associated tissue injuries, and patient motivation.

A novel cytidine analog fluorocyclopentenylcytosine (RX-3117; TV-1360) was characterized for its cytotoxicity in a 59-cell line panel and further characterized for cytotoxicity, metabolism and mechanism of action in 15 additional cancer cell lines, including gemcitabine-resistant variants. In both panels sensitivity varied 75-fold (IC50: 0.4- > 30 μM RX-3117).
