General description
Uridine is a pyrimidine nucleoside composed of uracil and ribose that is readily taken up by the brain. This compound is synthesized de novo in mammals. It is found circulating in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Uridine is an essential compound involved in maintaining cellular function and energy metabolism. It aids in multiple biological processes, including RNA synthesis, the synthesis of biomembranes, and glycosylation. Furthermore, uridine serves as a precursor molecule for UDP-glucose, a vital component in the synthesis and storage of glycogen in the liver. In addition, studies have shown that uridine reduces cytotoxicity and improves neurophysiological functions. It is involved in regulating various normal physiological processes in the body, including the cardio-circulatory, reproductive, peripheral and central nervous, and respiratory systems.

African trypanosomes are capable of both pyrimidine biosynthesis and salvage of preformed pyrimidines from the host. However, uptake of pyrimidines in bloodstream form trypanosomes has not been investigated, making it difficult to judge the relative importance of salvage and synthesis

Entry of enveloped viruses requires fusion of viral and cellular membranes. Fusion requires the formation of an intermediate stalk structure, in which only the outer leaflets are fused. The stalk structure, in turn, requires the lipid bilayer of the envelope

Triplex is emerging as an important RNA tertiary structure motif, in which consecutive non-canonical base pairs form between a duplex and a third strand. RNA duplex region is also often functionally important site for protein binding. Thus, triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs)
