Brequinar is a chemical compound from the group of biphenyl quinolines .

properties

Brequinar was developed in the 1980s and is a selective inhibitor of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase in the mitochondria and thus inhibits the biosynthesis of pyrimidine - nucleotides and subsequent biosynthesis as that of nucleic acids . As a result, cell growth is inhibited. In addition, interferon- inducible genes are increasingly expressed . Further inhibitors of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase are teriflunomide and leflunomide .

Brequinar was investigated as a potential chemotherapeutic agent and as an immunosuppressive agent to avoid rejection reactions after organ transplantation , but did not reach phase III due to its low efficacy, therapeutic window and severe side effects in the event of overdose . The main side effect is myelosuppression , with an inhibition of the production of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor α and an inhibition of the activation of T cells . Brequinar was in some types of cancer , for use in a combination therapy studied, and as antiparasitic and antiviral agent . In cell culture brequinar inhibits viral replication of dengue virus , West Nile virus , yellow fever virus , Lassa virus , Junin virus , lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus , Vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus , HIV-1 , Powassan virus and foot-and-mouth disease virus .

Analytics

The reliable qualitative and quantitative determination of brequinar is possible after appropriate sample preparation by HPLC with UV detection at 254 nm.
