In this study, three methods are utilized to analyze toxicity produced by methotrexate and the lipid-soluble antifolate, 2,4-diamino-5-(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)-6-methylpyrimidine, in human lymphoblasts (WIL-2) and leukemic cells. These methods detect increasingly severe metabolic damage; inhibition of deoxyuridine incorporation into DNA, the reversibility of inhibition of deoxyuridine incorporati...

This search involved synthesis of several new N-Substituted -3-chloro-
 2-azetidinones which were known as a high medicinal effectiveness for 2,
 4-Diamino-6-hydroxy pyrimidin in two steps. The first step included
 preparation Shiff bases (1-6) by condensation 2, 4-Diamino-6-hydroxy
 with many substituted aldehydes(4-hydroxy benzaldehyde, 2-
 bromobenzaldehyde, 4-dimeth...

The physiological function for thiaminase II, a thiamin-degrading enzyme, has eluded investigators for more than 50 years. Here, we demonstrate that this enzyme is involved in the regeneration of the thiamin pyrimidine rather than in thiamin degradation, and we identify a new pathway involved in the salvage of base-degraded forms of thiamin. This pathway is widely distributed among bacteria, ar...
