flucytosine and Cytomegalovirus

flucytosine has been researched along with Cytomegalovirus in 6 studies

Flucytosine: A fluorinated cytosine analog that is used as an antifungal agent.
flucytosine : An organofluorine compound that is cytosine that is substituted at position 5 by a fluorine. A prodrug for the antifungal 5-fluorouracil, it is used for the treatment of systemic fungal infections.

Cytomegalovirus: A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The Ovcar-5 and Skov-3 ovarian cancer cell lines exposed to the Ad-Lp-CD adenoviral vector were much more sensitive to the prodrug 5-fluorocytosine (5FC), which is converted from the 5FC prodrug into the toxic chemical 5-fluorouracil, than was the CCD minimal deviation fibroblast cell line after exposure to the same vector."1.31The use of the L-plastin promoter for adenoviral-mediated, tumor-specific gene expression in ovarian and bladder cancer cell lines. ( Crystal, R; Deisseroth, A; Fujii, T; Kacinski, B; Leavitt, J; Peng, XY; Pizzorno, G; Rutherford, T; Sapi, E; Schwartz, P; Won, JH; Zelterman, D, 2001)
