fluorouracil and Cytomegalovirus

fluorouracil has been researched along with Cytomegalovirus in 15 studies

Fluorouracil: A pyrimidine analog that is an antineoplastic antimetabolite. It interferes with DNA synthesis by blocking the THYMIDYLATE SYNTHETASE conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid.
5-fluorouracil : A nucleobase analogue that is uracil in which the hydrogen at position 5 is replaced by fluorine. It is an antineoplastic agent which acts as an antimetabolite - following conversion to the active deoxynucleotide, it inhibits DNA synthesis (by blocking the conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid by the cellular enzyme thymidylate synthetase) and so slows tumour growth.

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.

( DeMarchi, JM; Kaplan, AS, 1976)
"We developed a recombinant defective adenovirus with an insert of gene encoding extracellular domain of mouse Flt3L (Ad-mFlt3L) under control of cytomegalovirus promoter to investigate the biological efficacy of Flt3L in combination with chemotherapeutical drug, 5-FU, in eliciting an effective anti-cancer immunity in mouse hepatoma and colon cancer model systems."1.34Eradication of hepatoma and colon cancer in mice with Flt3L gene therapy in combination with 5-FU.

"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.
