COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF TUMORS WITH UDPG

摘要

UDPG shows tumor-specific inhibition of PRPP and this suggests that this action might prove to be useful in combination therapy with inhibitors of purine and pyrimidine nucleotide systhesis in various rescue regimens. High levels of PRPP in tumors were greatly affected by treatment with UDPG. UDPG can be used in treatment in conjuction with other anti-tumor drugs such as methotrexate, 6-mercaptopurine, 5-fluorouracil or 2,6-dimercaptopurine.
