Nucleotide analogue inhibitors of purine nucleoside phosphorylase.
The diphosphate of the antiherpetic agent acyclovir [9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]guanine] has been shown to inhibit purine nucleoside phosphorylase with unique potency (Tuttle, J. V., and Krenitsky, T. A. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 4065-4069). A major factor contributing to the superior inhibition by this diphosphate over the corresponding mono- and ...

Cerebellar abnormalities in purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficient mice
Inherited defects in purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) cause severe T cell immunodeficiency and progressive neurological dysfunction, yet little is known about the effects of PNP deficiency on the brain.

Metabolites of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (NP) in serum have the potential to delineate pancreatic adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the fourth highest cause of cancer related deaths in the United States, has the most aggressive presentation resulting in a very short median survival time for the affected patients. Early detection of PDAC is confounded

8‐Aminoguanine Induces Diuresis, Natriuresis, and Glucosuria by Inhibiting Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase and Reduces Potassium Excretion by Inhibiting Rac1 [PDF]
Background 8‐Aminoguanosine and 8‐aminoguanine are K+‐sparing natriuretics that increase glucose excretion. Most effects of 8‐aminoguanosine are due to its metabolism to 8‐aminoguanine.
