Partially purified samples of thymidine phosphorylase were obtained from four preparations of human uterine leiomyomas and uteri using the method of Yoshimura et al. (1990), Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1034, 107-113. Among the studied twelve pyrimidine derivatives, 5-bromouracil, 5-nitrouracil, 5-fluorouracil, 6-aminouracil
