This invention relates to a method for identifying compounds that specifically inhibit a metabolic target site or pathway in plants. Enzymes which are specifically affected by the method of the invention include plant pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway enzymes, and particularly the enzymes involved in the conversion of orotate to uridine-5′-monophosphate (UMP). Further, the invention relates to a method for control of undesirable monocotyledenous and dicotyledenous plant species.
The present invention includes methods of treating or preventing cancer by administering an effective amount of 6-substituted pyrimidine derivatives of the Formula I to a subject need thereof:
Amino acids present in domains of an umami taste receptor are described herein, wherein the amino acids interact with at least one nucleotide derivative and/or at least one transmembrane compound that potentiates, modulates, increases, and/or enhances the activity of the umami receptor. Such compounds can be used in flavor compositions to enhance the umami taste and/or palatability of food products.
