Merck, 584222-10MG, Tetrahydrouridine

General description
A potent competitive inhibitor of cytidine deaminase. Used in combination with cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) to assess the anti-leukemic activity and anti-tumor activity of Ara-C in in vitro studies.
Application

Oncotherapy resistance explained by Darwinian and Lamarckian models.: This research explores the mechanisms of oncotherapy resistance, combining Darwinian and Lamarckian models to provide a comprehensive understanding. The study highlights the role of Tetrahydrouridine in modulating therapy resistance pathways in cancer treatment (Saunthararajah et al., 2024).

Neuroendocrine lineage commitment of small cell lung cancers can be leveraged into p53-independent non-cytotoxic therapy.: This study investigates the potential of using Tetrahydrouridine in non-cytotoxic therapies for small cell lung cancers, focusing on neuroendocrine lineage commitment and its implications for treatment efficacy (Biswas et al., 2023).

In Vitro Interaction of Tetrahydrouridine with Key Human Nucleoside Transporters.: This study explores how Tetrahydrouridine interacts with human nucleoside transporters, shedding light on its mechanisms of action and potential as a therapeutic agent in biochemistry and pharmacology (Säll et al., 2023).

Mycoplasma infection of cancer cells enhances anti-tumor effect of oxidized methylcytidines.: This research investigates how mycoplasma infection enhances the anti-tumor effects of oxidized methylcytidines, with Tetrahydrouridine playing a crucial role in the observed therapeutic outcomes (Pang et al., 2023).
