Popis: Intracerebral injections of 10 μC 5-[ 131 I]iodo-2′-deoxyuridine with very high specific radioactivity into adult rats caused the thymidine analog to be rapidly incorporated into brain DNA but the labeled DNA disappeared with an initial apparent half-life time of 6 h. Simultaneous intracerebral administration of 5-fluorouracil increased the incorporation of [ 131 I]iododeoxyuridine but did not influence the decay of labeled DNA. During the loss of the radioactive DNA the amount of unlabeled DNA remained constant. 5-[ 82 Br]Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine of high specific radioactivity was synthesized and used for labeling of rat brain DNA in the presence of 5-fluorouracil. A similar disappearance of labeled DNA was observed with a peak of radioactivity at 3–5 h.
