Identifying the wide diversity of extraterrestrial purine and pyrimidine nucleobases in carbonaceous meteorites

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The lack of pyrimidine diversity in meteorites remains a mystery since prebiotic chemical models and laboratory experiments have predicted that these compounds can also be produced from chemical precursors found in meteorites.

High-throughput continuous evolution of compact Cas9 variants targeting single-nucleotide-pyrimidine PAMs

open access: yesNature Biotechnology, 2022
Directed evolution creates new compact Cas9 variants that target most single pyrimidine nucleotide PAMs. Despite the availability of Cas9 variants with varied protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) compatibilities, some genomic loci—especially those with ...

Re-Discovery of Pyrimidine Salvage as Target in Cancer Therapy

open access: yesCells, 2022
Nucleotides are synthesized through two distinct pathways: de novo synthesis and nucleoside salvage. Whereas the de novo pathway synthesizes nucleotides from amino acids and glucose, the salvage pathway recovers nucleosides or bases formed during DNA or ...

Targeting Pyrimidine Metabolism in the Era of Precision Cancer Medicine

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
Metabolic rewiring is considered as a primary feature of cancer. Malignant cells reprogram metabolism pathway in response to various intrinsic and extrinsic drawback to fuel cell survival and growth.

Pyrimidine biosynthesis is not an essential function for trypanosoma brucei bloodstream forms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
<p>Background: African trypanosomes are capable of both pyrimidine biosynthesis and salvage of preformed pyrimidines from the host, but it is unknown whether either process is essential to the parasite.</p> <p>Methodology/Principal ...

Cellular pyrimidine imbalance triggers mitochondrial DNA–dependent innate immunity

open access: yesNature Metabolism, 2021
Cytosolic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) elicits a type I interferon response, but signals triggering the release of mtDNA from mitochondria remain enigmatic.

Pyrimidine: a review on anticancer activity with key emphasis on SAR

open access: yesFuture Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2021
Cancer is a global health challenge, it impacts the quality of life and its treatment is associated with several side effects. Resistance of the cancer cells to the existing drugs has led to search for novel anticancer agents.

A druggable addiction to de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis in diffuse midline glioma

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a uniformly fatal pediatric cancer driven by oncohistones that do not readily lend themselves to drug development.

Anti-Covid-19 Drug Analogues: Synthesis of Novel Pyrimidine Thioglycosides as Antiviral Agents Against SARS-COV-2 and Avian Influenza H5N1 Viruses

open access: yesACS Omega, 2021
A class of pyrimidine thioglycoside analogs (6a–h) were synthesized from a reaction of 2-cyano-3,3-dimercapto-N-arylacrylamide (2a–d) and thiourea to produce the corresponding 4-amino-2-mercapto-N-arylpyrimidine-5-carboxamide derivatives (3a–d), and ...
