Uracil restores susceptibility of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to aminoglycosides through metabolic reprogramming

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has now become a major nosocomial pathogen bacteria and resistant to many antibiotics. Therefore, Development of novel approaches to combat the disease is especially important.

The Role of Sarcosine, Uracil, and Kynurenic Acid Metabolism in Urine for Diagnosis and Progression Monitoring of Prostate Cancer

open access: yesMetabolites, 2017
The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate sarcosine, uracil, and kynurenic acid in urine as potential biomarkers in prostate cancer detection and progression monitoring. Sarcosine, uracil, and kynurenic acid were measured in urine samples of 32 prostate

Uracil Accumulation and Mutagenesis Dominated by Cytosine Deamination in CpG Dinucleotides in Mice Lacking UNG and SMUG1

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Both a DNA lesion and an intermediate for antibody maturation, uracil is primarily processed by base excision repair (BER), either initiated by uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) or by single-strand selective monofunctional uracil DNA glycosylase (SMUG1).

Photoprotecting Uracil by Coupling with Lossy Nanocavities [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2020
We analyze how the photorelaxation dynamics of a molecule can be controlled by modifying its electromagnetic environment using a nanocavity mode. In particular, we consider the photorelaxation of the RNA nucleobase uracil, which is the natural mechanism ...

Synthesis of Natural Product-Like Tricyclic Higher-Carbon Sugar Nucleosides

open access: yesPharmaceutical Fronts, 2021
Because of the structural novelty and interesting biological profiles, the synthesis of higher-carbon sugars has been highly pursued. In this work, we first synthesized a series of structurally novel bis-uracil containing tricyclic higher-carbon sugar ...

Uracil in the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The pristine sample from the near-Earth carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu collected by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft enabled us to analyze the pristine extraterrestrial material without uncontrolled exposure to the Earth’s atmosphere and biosphere.

Uracil as a Zn-Binding Bioisostere of the Allergic Benzenesulfonamide in the Design of Quinoline–Uracil Hybrids as Anticancer Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2022
A series of quinoline–uracil hybrids (10a–l) has been rationalized and synthesized. The inhibitory activity against hCA isoforms I, II, IX, and XII was explored.

A Prebiotic Ribosylation of Pyrimidine Nucleobases Enabled by Metal Cations and Clay Minerals

open access: yesLife, 2021
We report a prebiotically relevant solution to the N1-ribosylation of pyrimidine nucleobases, a well-known challenge to the RNA world hypothesis. We found that the presence of metal cations and clay minerals enable the previously unachievable direct ...

Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Phenotyping Using Pretreatment Uracil: A Note of Caution Based on a Large Prospective Clinical Study

open access: yesClinical pharmacology and therapy, 2022
In clinical practice, 25–30% of the patients treated with fluoropyrimidines experience severe fluoropyrimidine‐related toxicity. Extensively clinically validated DPYD genotyping tests are available to identify patients at risk of severe toxicity due to ...

Electrocatalytic multicomponent assembling of aminouracils, aldehydes and malononitrile: An efficient approach to 7-amino-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile derivatives [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2016
Electrocatalytic multicomponent transformation of 6-aminouracils, aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile in ethanol in an undivided cell in the presence of potassium bromide as an electrolyte leads to 7-amino-pyrido[2,3- d]pyrimidine-6 ...
