[Metabolic studies of 5-ethyl-2'-deoxyuridine with liver extract, liver cells and liver cell culture].

5-Ethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EtUdR) was converted with rat liver extract, rat liver cells and rat liver cell cultures into its metabolites 5-ethyluracil and 5-(1-hydroxyethyl) uracil. The analytical identification of the metabolites as well as the investigation of the biotransformation process was performed by thin layer chromatography, autoradiography and high pressure liquid chromatography.

[Liver extract effect on liver microsomal system and on an experimental model of intoxication].

A lyophilized liver extract (FLR) lengthens hexobarbital action in control rats ; it decreases slightly the induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes and normalizes diphenylhydantoin protection against electroshock seizure in phenobarbital-treated animals ; in the event of a CC14 intoxication, this extract reestablishes values close to normal for mebubarbital metabolism in mice and for BSP clearance in rats. FLR could act in regularizing drug metabolism.

In vitro inhibition of tritiated thymidine uptake in Morris hepatoma cells by normal rat liver extract: a possible liver chalone.

A phosphate-buffered saline extract of normal rat liver tissue almost completely inhibited DNA synthesis in Buffalo rat Morris hepatoma 7777 cells in vitro. This effect was tissue-specific because it did not occur with extracts of kidney, spleen, heart, lung, muscle, and hepatoma. The liver extracts did not inhibit in vitro human prostate carcinoma or phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human and rat peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures. The addition of 10% fetal calf serum in the incubation medium had no effect on this inhibition. We determined that doses of liver extract that inhibit thymidine incorporation were not toxic inasmuch as treated cells remained viable, as indicated by trypan blue exclusion. The liver extract may thus contain a cell-specific mitotic inhibitor, a chalone for hepatoma cells.
