hydroxyurea and Neural Tube Defects

hydroxyurea has been researched along with Neural Tube Defects in 7 studies

Neural Tube Defects: Congenital malformations of the central nervous system and adjacent structures related to defective neural tube closure during the first trimester of pregnancy generally occurring between days 18-29 of gestation. Ectodermal and mesodermal malformations (mainly involving the skull and vertebrae) may occur as a result of defects of neural tube closure. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch55, pp31-41)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Various doses of hydroxyurea, a teratogen to the rodent central nervous system, were administered to curly-tail mice on either day 8 or day 9 of pregnancy in an attempt to increase the number of NTD in the embryos."7.66Effect of hydroxyurea on neural tube defects in the curly-tail mouse. ( Perkins, KJ; Seller, MJ, 1983)
"Chemotherapeutic agents such as methotrexate (MTX), raltitrexed (RTX), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), hydroxyurea (HU), and retinoic acid (RA), and valproic acid (VPA), an antiepileptic drug, all can cause malformations in the developing central nervous system (CNS), such as neural tube defects (NTDs)."4.12Unraveling the Mechanisms of Clinical Drugs-Induced Neural Tube Defects Based on Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Analysis. ( Guan, Z; Li, S; Liang, Y; Niu, B; Wang, J; Wang, X; Yang, A; Yu, J; Zhu, Z, 2022)
" Various doses of hydroxyurea, a teratogen to the rodent central nervous system, were administered to curly-tail mice on either day 8 or day 9 of pregnancy in an attempt to increase the number of NTD in the embryos."3.66Effect of hydroxyurea on neural tube defects in the curly-tail mouse. ( Perkins, KJ; Seller, MJ, 1983)
" It has been found that maternal administration of hydroxyurea, mitomycin C, or 5-fluorouracil on day 9 of pregnancy, that is, when the fetal neural tube is in the final stages of closure, leads to a significant reduction in the proportion of NTD (to 15 to 20%) in the offspring, while total litter size is unaffected."3.66The cause of neural tube defects: some experiments and a hypothesis.
