METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR INHIBITING URIDINE SECRETION

摘要

Methods and pharmaceutical compositions effective to increase intracellular and plasma uridine concentrations are disclosed. Certain compositions and methods of using such compositions have been found to be effective to inhibit uridine secretion in a subject, thus increasing uridine concentration. Treatments that increase uridine concentrations are useful to combat many treatments and can also be effective in protecting or rescuing uninfected and normal cells that are subject to toxic side effects induced by the administration of certain chemotherapeutic compounds.
