Application

Brequinar sodium salt hydrate has been used as a dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibitor:
  • in drug response assays
  • to induce depletion of cellular pyrimidine pools
  • in cell proliferation assays

Brequinar sodium salt hydrate may be used in cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Brequinar exhibits anti-neoplastic activity against refractory solid tumors in human and mouse models. Continuous treatment is required for depletion of pyrimidine pools in the cancer cells and tumor inhibition.
Brequinar inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), the fourth enzyme in the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway, preventing the synthesis of DNA and RNA. Brequinar has recently been found to have antiviral activity against a broad spectrum of viruses including flaviviruses (dengue virus, West Nile virus, yellow fever virus, and Powassan virus) and also a plus-strand RNA alphavirus (Western equine encephalitis virus) and a negative-strand RNA rhabdovirus (vesicular stomatitis virus).

Brequinar sodium is a 4-quinolinecarboxylic acid analogue that inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase and subsequent de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. It has shown dose-dependent antineoplastic activity against several mouse and human tumor models. This trial evaluated Brequinar given as a single daily i.v.

Highly specific and potent inhibitors of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), an essential enzyme of the de novo pyrimidine ribonucleotide synthesis pathway, are in clinical trials for autoimmune diseases, viral infections and cancer. However, because DHODH inhibitors (DHODHi) are immunosuppressants they may

Despite intensive therapy, children with high-risk neuroblastoma are at risk of treatment failure. We applied a multiomic system approach to evaluate metabolic vulnerabilities in human neuroblastoma. We combined metabolomics, CRISPR screening, and transcriptomic data across more than 700 solid tumor
