General description
Uridine is a pyrimidine nucleoside composed of uracil and ribose that is readily taken up by the brain. This compound is synthesized de novo in mammals. It is found circulating in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Uridine is an essential compound involved in maintaining cellular function and energy metabolism. It aids in multiple biological processes, including RNA synthesis, the synthesis of biomembranes, and glycosylation. Furthermore, uridine serves as a precursor molecule for UDP-glucose, a vital component in the synthesis and storage of glycogen in the liver. In addition, studies have shown that uridine reduces cytotoxicity and improves neurophysiological functions. It is involved in regulating various normal physiological processes in the body, including the cardio-circulatory, reproductive, peripheral and central nervous, and respiratory systems.

Resistance by Plasmodium falciparum to almost all clinically used antimalarial drugs requires the development of new classes of antimalarials. 6-Iodouridine (15), a novel and potent inhibitor of orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (ODCase), exhibited efficacy in a mouse model infected by P.

Single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase 1 (SMUG1) is a base excision repair enzyme that removes uracil and oxidised pyrimidines from DNA. We show that SMUG1 interacts with the pseudouridine synthase Dyskerin (DKC1) and colocalizes with DKC1 in nucleoli and Cajal bodies.
