초록
Benzylacyclouridines (BAU and BBAU)는 uridine phosphorylase (UrdPase)의 선택적이고 강력한 상경억제제이다. 보고된 바에 의하면 (Cancer Res., 44: 1852, 1984) Benzylacyclouridines가 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FdUrd)의 인체 암세포에 대한 독성을 증가시켜 준다고 하였지만, L5187Y 세포를 사용한 본 실험에서는 Benzylacyclouridines가 FdUrd를 포함하여 5-fluorouridine (FUra) 모두에 대해 조금도 세포 독성을 증가시키지 못하였을 뿐만아니라, 오히려 세포를 그들 독성으로부터 투여량에 비례하여 보호하였다. 복강내 주사에 의한 생체실험에서도 Benzylacyclouridines는 5-fluorinated pyrimidine에 의한 L5187Y를 지닌 쥐(mouse)의 life-span을 연장시켜 주지 못하였다. 본 실험에서 Benzylacyclouridines가 기대했던 fluorinated pyrimidine 항암제의 효과를 증진시키지 못한 이유는 nucleosides의 anabolism이 UrdPase와 orotate phosphoribosyltransferase이 의한 sequential 작용에 의하던가 또는 Benzylacyclouridines에 의한 nucleosides의 수송억제에 의하던가, 아니면 두가지 다 복합적으로 작용한 결과로 생각된다.
The benzylacycoluridines (BAU and BBAU) are potent and specific inhibitors of uridine phosphorylase (UrdPase). In contrast to the report that benzylacyclouridines potentiated 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FdUrd) cytotoxicity against human solid tumor cells (Cancer Res., 44:1852, 1984), continuous exposure of mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells, to FdURd, 5-fluorouridine (FUrd), 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-dFUrd), or 5-fluorouracil (FUra) showed no potentiation of cytotoxicity by benzylacyclouridines. In fact, under the conditions employed, benzylacycoluridines protected the cells from the cytotoxicity of FdUrd, FUrd, or 5'-dFUrd, but not FUra in a dose dependent manner. Intraperitoneal coadministration of BAU or BBAU and a 5-fluorinated pyrimidine (i.e., FdUrd, FUrd, or FUra), to mice bearing L5178Y cells also did not significantly increase the life span compared to those treated with the antimetabolites alone. Anabolism of these nucleosides through the sequential action of UrdPase and orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRTase), inhibition of nucleoside transport by benzylacyclouridines, or both could be responsible for the ineffectiveness of UrdPase inhibitors to potentiate the antineoplastic activity of fluoropvrimidines in L5178Y cells.
