Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase inhibitors in anti-infective drug research [PDF]
Pyrimidines are essential for the cell survival and proliferation of living parasitic organisms, such as Helicobacter pylori, Plasmodium falciparum and Schistosoma mansoni, that are able to impact upon human health. Pyrimidine building blocks, in human cells, are synthesised via both de novo biosynthesis and salvage pathways, the latter of which is an ...

New Insights into rice pyrimidine catabolic enzymes
IntroductionRice is a primary global food source, and its production is affected by abiotic stress, caused by climate change and other factors. Recently, the pyrimidine reductive catabolic pathway, catalyzed by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DHPD ...

Ferroptosis plays a novel role in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis pathogenesis
Ferroptosis relies on iron, and ferroptotic cell death is triggered when the balance of the oxidation-reduction system is disrupted by excessive lipid peroxide accumulation. A close relationship between ferroptosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
