The Mechanism of Action of Uridine Diphosphoglucose Dehydrogenase
Abstract Uridine diphospho-α-d-galacto-hexodialdose (UDP-Gal-6-CHO) and uridine diphospho-α-d-gluco-hexodialdose (UDP-Glc-6-CHO) were produced from UDP-galactose through the use of galactose oxidase and UDP-glucose 4-epimerase. UDP-Glc-6-CHO was shown to be an intermediate in the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme UDP-glucose dehydrogenase, indicating ...

5-fluorouracil Toxicity Mechanism Determination in Human Keratinocytes: in vitro Study on HaCaT
5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and capecitabine therapy is often accompanied by palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) which is manifestation of 5-FU toxicity in keratinocytes. The main mechanisms of 5-FU action are thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibition which can

Uridine prevents tamoxifen-induced liver lipid droplet accumulation
BackgroundTamoxifen, an agonist of estrogen receptor, is widely prescribed for the prevention and long-term treatment of breast cancer. A side effect of tamoxifen is fatty liver, which increases the risk for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Synthesis of Extended Uridine Phosphonates Derived from an Allosteric P2Y2 Receptor Ligand
In this study we report the synthesis of C5/C6-fused uridine phosphonates that are structurally related to earlier reported allosteric P2Y2 receptor ligands.

Uridine Prevents Fenofibrate-Induced Fatty Liver
Uridine, a pyrimidine nucleoside, can modulate liver lipid metabolism although its specific acting targets have not been identified. Using mice with fenofibrate-induced fatty liver as a model system, the effects of uridine on liver lipid metabolism are ...
