Background and purpose. 5-Chloro-2,4-dihydroxypyridine (Gimeracil) is a component of an oral fluoro-pyrimidine derivative S-1 Gimeracil is originally added to S-1 to yield prolonged 5-FU concentrations in tumor tissues by inhibiting dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, which degrades 5-FU. We found that Gimeracil by itself had the radiosensitizing effectMethods and materials We used various cell lines deficient in non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR) as well as DLD-1 and HeLa in clonogenic assay gamma-H2AX focus formation and SCneo assay was performed to examine the effects of Gimeracil on DNA double strand bleak (DSB) repair mechanismsResults Results of gamma-H2AX focus assay indicated that Gimeracil inhibited DNA DSB repair It did not sensitize cells deficient in HR but sensitized those deficient in NHEJ In SCneo assay, Gimeracil reduced the frequency of neo-positive clones Additionally, it sensitized the cells in S-phase more than in G0/G1Conclusions Gimeracil inhibits HR. Because HR plays key roles in the repair of DSBH caused by radiotherapy, Gimeracil may enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy through the suppression of HR-mediated DNA repair pathways (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
