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

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
