5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide
5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide is an imidazole derivative which is a metabolite of the antineoplastic agents BIC and DIC. By itself, or as the ribonucleotide, it is used as a condensation agent in the preparation of nucleosides and nucleotides. Compounded with orotic acid, it is used to treat liver diseases. -- Pubchem.

Compounded with orotic acid, it is used to treat liver diseases. -- Pubchem [HMDB] KEIO_ID A136 5-Amino-3H-imidazole-4-Carboxamide (AICA) is an important precursor for the synthesis of purines in general and of the nucleobases adenine and guanine in particular.
2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine
2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP) is a selective inhibitor of GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH) that restricts the de novo synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) or the BH4 precursor in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). (PMID 12883322). 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine also inhibits nitric oxide (NO) in both Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and antigen (Ag)/IgE (Ag/IgE) systems, increasing Mast cells (MC) degranulation. (PMID 14514683). Sepiapterin, a precursor to tetrahydrobiopterin in the salvage pathway, completely reverses the effect of 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine on neuronal NO-synthase (nNOS) ubiquitylation. (PMID 16216381). 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP) is a selective inhibitor of GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH) that restricts the de novo synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) or the BH4 precursor in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC).
