Leflunomide is an immunomodulatory drug which acts by inhibiting dihydroorotic acid dehydrogenase, the fourth enzyme of pyrimidine biosynthesis. We modified our high-performance liquid chromatography method to demonstrate that the principal metabolite in mitogen-stimulated human T-lymphocytes incubated with leflunomide was not

The concentrations of the pyrimidine "de novo" metabolites and their degradation products in urine are useful indicators for the diagnosis of an inborn error of the pyrimidine de novo pathway or a urea-cycle defect. Until now, no procedure was available

A cytoplasmically inherited element, [URE3], allows yeast to use ureidosuccinate in the presence of ammonium ion. Chromosomal mutations in the URE2 gene produce the same phenotype. [URE3] depends for its propagation on the URE2 product (Ure2p), a negative regulator of
