Quantification of Plasma and Urine Thymidine and 2'-Deoxyuridine by LC-MS/MS for the Pharmacodynamic Evaluation of Erythrocyte Encapsulated Thymidine Phosphorylase in Patients with Mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalomyopathy. [PDF]
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is an ultra-rare disorder caused by mutations in TYMP, leading to a deficiency in thymidine phosphorylase and a subsequent systemic accumulation of thymidine and 2'-deoxyuridine.

Carrier erythrocyte entrapped thymidine phosphorylase therapy for MNGIE [PDF]
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutations in the nuclear gene ECGF1 coding for thymidine phosphorylase (TP).1,2 Clinical features include gastrointestinal dysmotility, peripheral sensorimotor polyneuropathy, progressive external ophthalmoplegia, and hepatopathy.

The diagnostic value of IL-6 and thymidine phosphorylase in the progression of osteosarcoma
Introduction Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) is known to be correlated with the pathogenesis of solid tumors. IL-6 is overexpressed in osteosarcoma, and data exist showing that high concentrations of IL-6 are linked to a poor prognosis.

Thymidine Phosphorylase Inhibitors with a Homophthalimide Skeleton.
Several N-phenylhomophthalimide derivatives were prepared and their inhibitory activity on thymidine phosphorylase/ platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (TP/PD-ECGF) was assessed. Among them, 2-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-7-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1,3-dione (9) was found to be a more potent inhibitor than the classical inhibitor, 5 ...
