General description

5-Fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine, also called floxuridine elicits DNA-directed cytotoxicity in cancer cells. Floxuridine is effective for treating liver cancer and eliminating virulence of Staphylococcus aureus. Dipeptide prodrugs combination of floxuridine with gemcitabine are more cell permeable and display enhanced anti-proliferative activity. Floxuridine is effective on solid tumours and advanced stage cancers.

Application

5-Fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine has been used as a mitotic inhibitor in schwann cell proliferation, glia proliferation and nonneuronal cells in dorsal root ganglion cultures.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Antineoplastic drug that acts as a potent inhibitor of thymidylate synthetase Resistance to FUdR can develop in cancer cell cultures, among other means, by low-level Mycoplasma infection.

Dysregulation of AMPK signaling has been implicated in many human diseases, which emphasizes the importance of characterizing AMPK regulators. The tumor suppressor FLCN, responsible for the Birt-Hogg Dubé renal neoplasia syndrome (BHD), is an AMPK-binding partner but the genetic and

Interactions between the germ line and the soma help optimize reproductive success. We discovered a phenomenon linking reproductive status to longevity: In both hermaphroditic and gonochoristic Caenorhabditis, mating leads to female shrinking and death, compressing postreproductive life span.

Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) play highly conserved roles in development and physiology. Most animal genomes encode multiple ILPs. Here we identify mechanisms for how the forty Caenorhabditis elegans ILPs coordinate diverse processes, including development, reproduction, longevity and several specific stress responses.
