A Review of Some Aspects of 5-iododeoxyuridine and Azauridine.
نویسنده
چکیده
A review has been presented of selected aspects of 5-iododeoxyunidine(IUDR) and of 6-azaunidine. Some of the basic problems which may be of pertinence to the successful use of IUDR clinically have been indicated. Although the role of IUDR as a chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of neoplasms, either alone or in combi nation with other compounds or radiation, is still under investigation, its role as an anti-viral agent in the treatment of some established DNA-viral infections in animals as well as in man has been well substantiated.

Clinical education will be possible with involving patients. Many patients who seek medical and diagnostic care can be involved in clinical training. Therefore, teachers and students need to know the legal aspects of patient involvement and adhere to these aspects in order to attract patients’ participation and satisfaction. This study reviewed the importance and necessity of legal aspects, i...
متن کاملThe biochemical activity of 6-azauridine: interference with pyrimidine metabolism in transplantable mouse tumors.
Previous work has shown that the asymmetric triazine analogue of uridine, 6-azauracil riboside (azauridine), is a much more potent inhibitor of the growth of transplantable mouse tumors than is 6-azauracil (1,2). Presumably this difference in activity reflects the limited extent of the conversion of azauracil to azauridine in mammalian systems (3). On the other hand, formation of the 5’-phospha...
متن کاملIn vivo synthesis of 6-azauridine 5'-triphosphate and incorporation of 6-azauridine into RNA of germinating wheat embryonic axes.
The cytostatic effect of 6-azauridine on cell growth is generally regarded to be a consequence of the inhibition of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis by the metabolite, 6-azauridine 5'-monophosphate. We show here that wheat embryonic axes further metabolize 6-azauridine to the 5'-triphosphate and incorporate the analogue into RNA, thus offering an alternative mechanism for growth inhibition. At a...

New energy technologies, along with the benefits, are associated with challenges and Difficulties. Geothermal energy as one of the renewable energies is a clean and sustainable energy source, yet its development still has some impact on the environment such as: greenhouse gas emissions, noise pollution, surface and groundwater contamination, subsidence, and seismicity. This paper provides a bri...
متن کاملEffects of 6-azauridine on nucleotides, orotic acid, and orotidine in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells in vitro.
Murine lymphoma L5178Y cells in culture were exposed to 5 fj.M 6-azauridine (6-aza-UR) for up to 8 hr. The nucleotides in the acid-soluble extracts were determined by highpressure liquid chromatography. The concentrations of uracil and cytosine nucleotides decreased rapidly in the treated cells. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate and adenosine 5'diphosphate increased steadily, whereas guanosine 5'-di-
