  • Pyrimidine nucleotide N-ribosidase (pyrimidine 5'-nucleotide phosphoribo (deoxyribo) hydrolase/pyrimidine 5'-nucleoude nucleosidase, EC 3.2.2.10) directly catalyzes pyrimidine 5'-nucleotide to pyrimidine base and ribose (deoxyribo) 5-phosphate. In order to clarify the best nutritional conditions for the growth and the pyrimidine nucleotide N-ribosidase production of Pseudomonas oleovorans ATCC 8062 the effects of various nutrients such as different carbon and nitrogen sources were studied. For the both the growth and the enzyme production, 2% fumarate, 1.5% peptone, 5% corn steep liquor (CSL) and 1% ammonium chloride were excellent carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Optimum pH, temperature, and cultivation time for the enzyme production were 7.0, $28^{\circ}C$, and 48 h, respectively. The pyrimidine nucleotide N-ribosidase of P. oleovorans ATCC 8062 was not induced by UMP and its derivatives, and was constitutive enzyme.

  • Pyrimidine auxotrophic basidiospores of Pleurotus sajor-caju were selected using positive selection method. Wild type basidiospores could not grow on minimal medium containing the pyrimidine analog 5'-fluoro-orotic acid (5'-FOA) whereas pyrimidine auxotrophs grew normally. After treatment of basidiospores with ultraviolet light, a total of 13 pyrimidine auxotrophic basidiospores were isolated among 24 5'-FOA resistant mutants. These mutants require the pyrimidine such as uracil, cytosine, thymine. Mating type group and growth rate of their mutants were determined.

  • A series of 12 pyrimidine derivatives were prepared and tested in vitro against growth, sporulation and nucleic acids of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and Helminthosporium oryzae. Intorduction of thiazole ring together with two aryl groups to 2-aminopyrimidine induced drastic toxicity for both fungi. Pyrimidine derivatives with aryl groups were less toxic. Nitro groups were found to enhance the toxicity of the pyrimidine derivatives especially when substituted in ortho-position of the aryl groups. Inhibition of nudeic acids synthesis of both fungi was attributed mainly to the presence of thiazole ring.

  • Reaction of barbituric acid (BA), 1,3-dimethyl barbituric acid (DMBA) and 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) with cyanogen bromide and aldehydes in the presence of L-(+)-tartaric acid afforded a new route for the synthesis of stable heterocyclic 5-aryl-1H,1'H-spiro[furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,5'-pyrimidine]2,2',4,4',6'(3H,3'H,5H)-pentaones which is a dimeric form of barbiturate (uracil and thiouracil derivative). In the reaction of 1,3-diethyl thiobarbituric acid (DETBA) the Knoevenagel condensation and then Michael adducts were obtained under the same condition. Structure elucidation is carried out by $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, FT-IR and Mass analyses. Mechanism of the formation is discussed.

  • Pyrimidine nucleotide N-ribosidase (pyrimidine 5'-nucleotide phosphoribo(deoxyribo)hydrolase/pyrimidine 5'-nucleotide nucleosidase, EC 3.2.2.10) catalyzes the breakdown of pyrimidine 5'-nucleotide into pyrimidine base and ribose(deoxyribo)-5-phosphate. However, detailed characteristics of the enzyme have not yet been reported. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity 327.9-fold with an overall yield of $6.1\%$ from Pseudomonas oleovorans ATCC 8062. The enzyme catalyzed cytidine monophosphate (CMP) and uridine monophosphate (UMP), but not adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP). The enzyme optimally metabolized CMP at pH 6.0 and UMP at around 8.5, and the optimum temperature for the overall enzyme reaction was found to be $37^{\circ}C$. The $K_m$ values of the enzyme for CMP (at pH 6.0) and UMP (at pH 8.5) were 1.6 mM and 1.1 mM, respectively. AMP, deoxyCMP, and deoxyUMP were very effective inhibitors of the reaction. Double-reciprocal plots obtained in the absence and in the presence of AMP revealed that this inhibitory effect was of the mixed competitive type with respect to the breakdown of CMP and of the noncompetitive type with respect to the breakdown of UMP. In the presence of AMP, the enzyme followed sigmoid kinetics with respect to each substrate.

  • Several acyclonucleoside analogues of pyrimidine base and N$^1$-derivatives of 5-fluorouracil have been synthesized and evaluated for their biological effects. When tested with in vitro Lekemia L1210 cells, the 5-fluorouracil derivatives exhibited slightly higher antitumor activity than the parent 5-fluorouracil. When tested against Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 and type 2 cultured in the Vero cell, the 5-fluorouracil derivatives showed weak antiviral activity.

  • The present communication deals with the Pharmacophore modeling, 3D QSAR and docking analysis on series of Pyrimidine derivatives as potential calcium channel blockers. The computational studies showed hydrogen bond donor, hydrogen bond acceptor, and hydrophobic group are important features for calcium channel blocking activity. These studies showed that Pyrimidine scaffold can be utilized for designing of novel calcium channels blockers for CVS disorders.

  • The base composition of DNA of Aspergillus phoenicis, Rhizopus acidus and Candida albicans treated with cycloheximide and nalidixic acid during the culture was analyzed to compare with the control. The contents of base in the DNA were inhibited by cycloheximide, 20.4% of adenine, 43.1% of thymine, 40.9% of cytosine, 35.3% of guanine, 32.2% of purine, and 42.7% of pyrimidine for A. phoenicis. In R. acidus, 34.2% of adenine, 42.1% of thymine, 38.0% of cytosine, 18.1% of guanine, 24.1% of purine and 40.0% of pyrimidine were depressed by cycloheximide. In the antibiotic treatment of C. albicans, 58.3% of adenine, 58.5% of thymine, 58.1% of cytosine, 42.4% of guanine, 46.8% of purine and 58.8% of pyrimidine were inhibited to compare with the control. The nalidixic acid treatments were showed that, in A. phoenicis 41.6% of adenine, 47.1% of thymine, 59.3% of cytosine, 46.3% of guanine, 45.6% of purine and 57.2% of pyrimidine were inhibited. When R. acidus was treated with nalidixic acid, 59.1% of adenine, 54.7% of thymine, 35.3% of cytosine, 37.4% of guanine, 45.9% of purine and 44.9% of pyrimidine decreased. In treatment of nalidixic acid, the content of DNA was depressed 60.1% of adenine, 68.6% of thymine, 60.7% of cytosine, 40.0% of guanine, 45.8% of purine and 63.5% of pyrimidine for C. albicans In the DNA synthesis of three fungal cells, cycloheximide and nalidixic acid treatments were analyzed obviously that the biosynthesis of pyrimidine was depressed than that of purine. Therefore, it was showed that the DNA contents in the various fungal cells were inhibited remarkably in nalidixic acid treatment than cycloheximide.

  • 5-Cyanopyrimidine derivatives were synthesized starting from 5-aminopyrimidine derivatives through the extended Sandmeyer reaction, and then these compounds were hydrolyzed to obtain pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acids. According to this procedure, 5-cyanopyrimidine derivatives and pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid derivatives have been prepared in 62% and 65% yields, respectively, without any difficulties in removing impurities.
