Newmark, Philip published the artcileSubstrate specificity of the dihydrouracil dehydrogenase and uridine phosphorylase of rat liver, Recommanded Product: 5-N-Propyluracil, the main research area is LIVER/metabolism; NUCLEASES/metabolism; PHOSPHORYLASES/metabolism.
Studies were conducted to determine whether unnatural pyrimidines (e.g. 5-fluorouracil) which are able to inhibit the degradation of uracil and thymine in a complete rat-liver-enzyme system were the only ones reduced by dihydrouracil dehydrogenase (I), and whether reduction of the inhibiting pyrimidines by the I was a prerequisite for inhibition. Thymine reduction was slower than that of uracil. The relative rates of reduction of 5-halagenouracils were F > Cl > Br > I, 5-iodouracil being slower than uracil and 5-fluoro-uracil faster. I reduced 2-thiouracil, 6-azamacil, and 5-aminouracil relatively slowly. 5-Hydroxyuracil and 5alkyluracils were not reduced, but were effective inhibitors of uracil and thymine degradation. Neither cytosine nor 6-methyluracil acted in either capacity.
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta published new progress about LIVER/metabolism; NUCLEASES/metabolism; PHOSPHORYLASES/metabolism. 19030-75-2 belongs to class pyrimidines, name is 5-N-Propyluracil, and the molecular formula is C7H10N2O2, Recommanded Product: 5-N-Propyluracil.
