4.1 Therapeutic Uses

Anti-ulcer Agents; Radiation-protective Agents; Adjuvants, Immunologic

National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings online file (MeSH, 1999


EXPTL USE: 4-METHYLURACIL (50 MG/KG/DAY) SHOWED SIGNIFICANT ANTIMETASTATIC EFFECTS WHEN ADMIN ORALLY TO RATS WITH LYMPHO- OR LYMPHOHEMATOGENIC METASTASES OF PLISS LYMPHOSARCOMA OR WALKER CARCINOSARCOMA FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE & AFTER LAPAROTOMY.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anti-Ulcer Agents

Various agents with different action mechanisms used to treat or ameliorate PEPTIC ULCER or irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. This has included ANTIBIOTICS to treat HELICOBACTER INFECTIONS; HISTAMINE H2 ANTAGONISTS to reduce GASTRIC ACID secretion; and ANTACIDS for symptomatic relief. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Ulcer Agents.)


Radiation-Protective Agents

Drugs used to protect against ionizing radiation. They are usually of interest for use in radiation therapy but have been considered for other purposes, e.g. military. (See all compounds classified as Radiation-Protective Agents.)


Adjuvants, Immunologic

Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity. (See all compounds classified as Adjuvants, Immunologic.)


5.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

UNCHANGED 6-METHYL-2-THIOURACIL (46% OF DOSE), 6-METHYLURACIL (9%), 6-METHYL-2-METHYLTHIOURACIL (2%), 6-METHYL-4-OXOPYRIMIDINE (2%), 2-AMINO-6-METHYL-4-OXOPYRIMIDINE (0.2%), & UREA (1%) WERE EXCRETED IN URINE OF RATS THAT HAD BEEN TREATED ORALLY WITH 6-METHYL-2-THIOURACIL.

...STUDIES INDICATED THE FORMATION OF FOUR VOLATILE SUBSTANCES AFTER IRRADIATION OF A 10 PPM AQ BROMACIL SOLN FOR 6 DAYS. THE MAJOR PRODUCT (37%) WAS 6-METHYLURACIL.

A MIXED CULTURE OF PSEUDOMONAS SPECIES & PROACTINOMYCES RUBER UTILIZED 6-METHYLURACIL AS THE SOLE SOURCE OF CARBON & NITROGEN. 6-METHYLURACIL WAS OXIDATIVELY CONVERTED TO URACIL WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY METABOLIZED TO BARBITURIC ACID & UREA.
