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.

The 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...

In 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...

Effects 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-
