Disease relevance of Azauridine

 

Psychiatry related information on Azauridine

  • Considering the sensitivity peaks of the morphogenetic processes which were observed, the dose-response relationships, the transformation of the teratogenic to a lethal effect and critical period extension with increasing doses, it was found that the effects of ia and im administered 6-azauridine did not differ [4].
 

High impact information on Azauridine

  • OMPase may be responsible, in part, for the low levels of intracellular "free" OMP and for orotidine accumulation in cells treated with 6-azauridine and patients suffering from aortic aciduria [5].
  • L1210 cells treated with 1 mM 6-azauridine (AzUrd) (concentration causing 50% inhibition of cell growth, 3 microM) continued to divide at a reduced rate for 72 h before stopping [6].
  • UMP synthase in extracts from deficient cells is more readily denatured by heat and is stabilized after growth of cells in 6-azauridine [7].
  • In fibroblasts from individuals with orotic aciduria, these two enzymatic activities are about 1% of normal but increase dramatically when deficient cells are grown in the presence of 6-azauridine [7].
  • Resistant Chinese hamster cells remain sensitive to 5-fluorouridine; this indicates that uridine kinase, the enzyme necessary to convert 6-azauridine to the monophosphate, is still functional [8].
