Prognostic significance of thymidylate synthase, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase and thymidine phosphorylase protein expression in colorectal cancer patients treated with or without 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy (2008)

Soong, R., Shah, N., Salto-Tellez, M., Tai, B. C., Soo, R. A., Han, H. C., ...

Background: Low tumour expression levels of thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) and thymidine phosphorylase (TP) have been linked with improved outcome for colorectal...

Conversion of 5-fluorocytosine to 5-fluorouracil by human intestinal microflora.

Harris, B E, Manning, B W, Federle, T W, Diasio, R B

The mechanism of toxicity from 5-fluorocytosine chemotherapy is unclear. However, recent evidence suggests that the generation of 5-fluorouracil by a host may play an important role in the...

5-fluorocytosine susceptibility of pathogenic fungi in the presence of allopurinol: potential for improving the therapeutic index of 5-fluorocytosine.

Kerkering, T M, Schwartz, P M, Espinel-Ingroff, A, Turek, P J, Diasio, R B

The minimal inhibitory concentration of 5-fluorocytosine in 18 pathogenic fungal isolates was not altered by either allopurinol (100 microM) or oxypurinol (100 microM). Since allopurinol at this...

Metabolism of 5-fluorouracil to an N-cholyl-2-fluoro-beta-alanine conjugate: previously unrecognized role for bile acids in drug conjugation.

Sweeny, D J, Barnes, S, Heggie, G D, Diasio, R B

Recently we demonstrated clinically significant levels of a previously unrecognized metabolite of the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (FUra) in bile of cancer patients. In the present study,...

Rapid determination of serum 5-fluorocytosine levels by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Diasio, R B, Wilburn, M E, Shadomy, S, Espinel-Ingroff, A

A method for the rapid, quantitative determination of 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) in serum by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been developed. After initially ultrafiltrating the serum,...

Familial deficiency of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase. Biochemical basis for familial pyrimidinemia and severe 5-fluorouracil-induced toxicity.

Diasio, R B, Beavers, T L, Carpenter, J T

Severe neurotoxicity due to 5-fluorouracil (FUra) has previously been described in a patient with familial pyrimidinemia. We now report the biochemical basis for both the pyrimidinemia and...

Identification of bile acid-CoA: amino acid N-acyltransferase in rat kidney.

Kwakye, J B, Johnson, M R, Barnes, S, Grizzle, W E, Diasio, R B

A novel location of the bile-acid-conjugating enzyme bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase (BAT) has been discovered in the cytosolic fraction of rat kidney. Both taurine and glycine were...
