The metabolic products formed and incorporated into the nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) of mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) following optimal doses of 5-fluorouracil (FUra), 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FdUrd), and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (FdCyd) coadministered with tetrahydrouridine (H4Urd), a potent inhibitor of cytidine

A new class of affinity labels has been developed for human DNA (cytosine-5) methyltransferases. These oligodeoxynucleotides contain 5-fluorodeoxycytidine at a mispair within the recognition motif of the human enzyme. They were not effectively recognized by bacterial methyltransferases. They can be

Oxidation of a guanine nucleobase to its radical cation in DNA oligomers causes an increase in the acidity of the N1 imino proton that may lead to its spontaneous transfer to N3 of the paired cytosine. This proton transfer is

The modes of action of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FdUrd) and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (FdCyd) were studied in PHA-stimulated lymphocytes from normal volunteer donors and a fragile X patient. In both cell types, FdUrd and FdCyd inhibited cell proliferation at concentrations of 3 x 10(-8)
