fluorouracil and Purine Pyrimidine Metabolism, Inborn Errors

fluorouracil has been researched along with Purine Pyrimidine Metabolism, Inborn Errors in 12 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.

"Carnitine acts as a carrier of long chain fatty acid to mitochondria and to beta-oxidation, thus an important molecule for energy production by beta-oxidation and maintenance of mitochondrial function."2.45Children's toxicology from bench to bed--Liver injury (1): Drug-induced metabolic disturbance--toxicity of 5-FU for pyrimidine metabolic disorders and pivalic acid for carnitine metabolism. ( Ito, T, 2009)
" We speculate that 5-FU cytotoxic effects, both anti-tumor effects and adverse reactions, would be weak when a patient with hereditary orotic aciduria was treated with 5-FU."1.31Decreased fluorouracil cytotoxic effect on EB-virus transformed lymphocytes from hereditary orotic aciduria. ( Andou, M; Sumi, S; Togari, H; Wada, Y, 2000)
"In addition to this study we analyzed a DPD deficiency case and a DHPuria case."1.30Possible prediction of adverse reactions to fluorouracil by the measurement of urinary dihydrothymine and thymine. ( Dobashi, K; Hayashi, K; Kidouchi, K; Kondou, M; Kouwaki, M; Sumi, S; Togari, H; Wada, Y, 1998)
