Local but Not Systemic Administration of Uridine Prevents Development of Antigen-Induced Arthritis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Uridine has earlier been show to down modulate inflammation in models of lung inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of uridine in arthritis.Arthritis was induced by intra-articular injection of mBSA in the knee ...

Protocol for UVC uridine actinometry

MethodsX, 2023
Uridine contains the chromophore uracil, a base forming part of RNA. In the range 240–290 nm, the absorption spectra of uridine and DNA are very similar and correspond to the spectral inactivation sensitivity of almost all microorganisms.

Autoantigen mRNA‐LNP Vaccination Drives Therapeutic Efficacy in Preclinical Models for Autoimmunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Systemic and intramuscular delivery of autoantigen mRNA via lipid nanoparticles reprograms antigen‐presenting cells toward a mature, homeostatic state, driving antigen‐specific T cell exhaustion and providing therapeutic efficacy across autoimmune disease models.

Uridine and its role in metabolic diseases, tumors, and neurodegenerative diseases

Frontiers in Physiology
Uridine is a pyrimidine nucleoside found in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid with a concentration higher than the other nucleosides. As a simple metabolite, uridine plays a pivotal role in various biological processes. In addition to nucleic acid synthesis,

Optimized Lipid Nanoparticles with Tail‐Modified Ionizable Lipids for Safer mRNA Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Systematic engineering of hydrophobic tail architecture in vitamin B5‐derived ionizable lipids establishes a comprehensive structure–activity relationship framework for mRNA delivery. Combined lipidtail and formulation optimization identifies TM1‐OPT3‐C, a lipid nanoparticle platform that improves efficacy–safety balance through efficient mRNA delivery,

Molecular Dynamics‐Guided Sterol Engineering of mRNA‐Lipid Nanoparticles Reprograms Biodistribution and Enhances Spleen‐Selective Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sterol engineering enables precise control of mRNA lipid nanoparticles by tuning membrane organization. Replacing cholesterol with bile acid‐derived sterols redirects protein expression from the liver to the spleen. Notably, CA‐20 LNP enhances antigen‐specific immune responses while exhibiting a favorable safety profile, highlighting sterols as a ...

Pyrazole‐Derived Antibacterial Compounds Effectively Treat Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infections by Inhibiting Aspartate Transcarbamoylase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a novel antibacterial mechanism against MRSA, in which the compound Py‐27 selectively targets and inhibits aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), a key enzyme in pyrimidine synthesis. This inhibition disrupts DNA replication, induces oxidative damage, leading to potent bactericidal activity.

O‐GlcNAcylation Regulation of SNAP29‐Dependent Autophagy Activation Dictates Chemoresistance in Gastric Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Model illustrating the proposed mechanism by which chemotherapy‐induced downregulation of OGT disrupts SNAP29 O‐GlcNAcylation, promoting STX17‐SNAP29‐VAMP8 SNARE complex assembly and protective autophagy, leading to chemoresistance, which in turn establishes a feedforward loop to perpetuate drug tolerance.

Fibrillarin Resists Cellular Senescence Via SIRT1‐Dependent Nicotinamide Metabolism and Its Inhibition Sensitizes Senolytic Therapy in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FBL directly binds to and stabilizes SIRT1 by blocking its ubiquitin‐proteasome degradation, thereby sustaining nicotinamide metabolism and redox homeostasis to counteract cellular senescence in ESCC. Genetic and pharmacological suppression of FBL sensitizes tumor cells to senolytic therapy.

Crystal structure of 5-(dibenzofuran-4-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2017
The molecule of the title compound, C21H18N2O6, has a bent rather than a linear conformation supported by three intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The packing in the crystal lattice is largely determined by interactions between hydrogen atoms with ...
