The Mechanism of Action of Uridine Diphosphoglucose Dehydrogenase

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1971
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

open access: yesPrague Medical Report, 2018
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

open access: yesBMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2014
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.

Uridine supplementation exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in an animal model of pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2014
RationalePulmonary fibrosis is a progressive disease with only few treatment options available at the moment. Recently, the nucleoside uridine has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects in different animal models, e.g.

Assessment of glutamatergic synaptic transmission and plasticity in brain slices: relevance to bioelectronic approaches

open access: yesBioelectronic Medicine, 2019
Background Glutamatergic neurons represent the largest neuronal class in the brain and are responsible for the bulk of excitatory synaptic transmission and plasticity. Abnormalities in glutamatergic neurons are linked to several brain disorders and their

Synthesis of Extended Uridine Phosphonates Derived from an Allosteric P2Y2 Receptor Ligand

open access: yesMolecules, 2014
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

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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 ...
