Minoxidil 68-77 uridine-cytidine kinase 2 Homo sapiens 0-14 2161304-4 1990 Minoxidil at a low vasodepressor dose of 0.03 mg/kg per min abolished the pressor response to uridine at doses from 2 to 8 mumol/kg per min, but did not reduce the responses to uridine monophosphate or uridine diphosphate in similar pressor doses, suggesting an action on either transport of uridine into cells or on uridine kinase which catalyses phosphorylation of uridine to uridine monophosphate, the mediator of uridine"s vascular actions. Minoxidil 0-9 uridine-cytidine kinase 2 Homo sapiens 317-331 2161304-6 1990 The active metabolite of minoxidil was found to inhibit rat liver uridine kinase in vivo using an HPLC technique. Minoxidil 25-34 uridine-cytidine kinase 2 Homo sapiens 66-80 2161304-8 1990 Plasma uridine concentration was significantly higher in 11 hypertensive patients on minoxidil compared with pretreatment values, suggesting that uridine kinase inhibition is of a degree sufficient to increase the circulating pool of uridine. Minoxidil 85-94 uridine-cytidine kinase 2 Homo sapiens 146-160 2161304-10 1990 The data is consistent with uridine kinase inhibition being a mechanism for the vasodilator actions of minoxidil. Minoxidil 103-112 uridine-cytidine kinase 2 Homo sapiens 28-42
