Diazepinone Nucleosides as Inhibitors of Cytidine Deaminase.
Nucleosides and Nucleotides, 1996Abstract The synthesis of 2′-deoxy and 2′,3′-dideoxy derivatives of 1-s-D-ribofuranosyl-1,3,4,7-tetrahydro-2H-1,3-diazepin-2-one (2) was undertaken in order to find new cytidine deaminase (CDA) inhibitors and potential adjuvants in anticancer chemotherapy.

Bacterial cytidine deaminases as versatile activators of fluoropyrimidine nucleoside prodrugs
A platform for modification of 5-fluoropyrimidine nucleosides as potential prodrugs has been developed utilizing bacterial-derived cytidine deaminases (CDAs) for activation. It has been demonstrated that CDA_EH, CDA_F14, and CDA_Lsp effectively convert 5-fluoropyrimidine analogs into 5-fluoro-(2'-deoxy)uridine exhibiting cytotoxic effects.

Nucleoside deaminase and adenosine deaminase activities in regenerating mouse liver
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis, 1971Abstract The specific activities of nucleoside deaminase (cytidine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.5) and adenosine deaminase (adenosine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.4) were determined in extracts of mouse liver following 70 % hepatectomy. There was an increase in the levels of these enzymes which preceded the onset of DNA synthesis by many hours. Enzyme levels

Adenosine Deaminase in Nucleoside Synthesis. A Review
Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 2006Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme in the purine salvage pathway that catalyzes the deamination of adenosine and deoxyadenosine to inosine and deoxyinosine, respectively. This deamination is an important factor in limiting the usefulness of adenosine analogues in chemotherapy.

Role of cytidine deaminase in toxicity and efficacy of nucleosidic analogs
Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology, 2014Nucleosidic analogs such as pyrimidine and purine derivatives are mainstay in the field of treating cancers, both in adults and in children. All these drugs act as antimetabolite compounds, that is, they interfere with the ability of cancer cells to synthesize the nucleosides or the nucleotides necessary for proliferation and progression.

Erythrocyte adenosine deaminase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase activity in gout
Clinica Chimica Acta, 19751. Erythrocyte adenosine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.4) and purine nucleoside (inosine) phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.1) were measured in 33 healthy controls and 43 primary gouty subjects. Adenosine deaminase activity in controls and gouty subjects was 0.373 plus or minus 0.108 and 0.457 plus or minus 0.140 A unit per 5-10-3 ml packed red cells per h, respectively.
