N-Carbamoyl-L-aspartic acid
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
N-Carbamoyl-L-aspartic acid (L-Ureidosuccinic acid) is an important pyrimidine metabolic precursor and intermediate metabolite. N-Carbamoyl-L-aspartic acid reverses the growth inhibition of Ura+ strains induced by 2-thiouracil (with growth rate increasing linearly with its concentration), but fails to support the growth of uracil-requiring Ura- strains. N-Carbamoyl-L-aspartic acid inhibits the cell growth of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* by suppressing the purine biosynthetic pathway at a pre-step of 5-aminoimidazole nucleotide synthesis. The growth inhibitory effect of N-Carbamoyl-L-aspartic acid on yeast can be alleviated by purines, and the sensitivity of strains is closely related to the activity level of dihydroorotase.

Biological Activity
N-Carbamoyl-L-aspartic acid (25-100 μg/mL, 10 mg/mL; up to 70 hrs) potently inhibits growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae wild type FL 100, ura2-60, ura4-20, and ure1 strains, while ura1-8, ura3-6, and ura5-5 strains are highly resistant to this inhibition[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Result:Dramatically inhibited growth of wild type FL 100, ura2-60, ura4-20, and ure1 strains, with initial reduced growth rates that returned to normal after 12-20 hrs (depending on concentration).
Matched untreated cell density by 48 hrs with 100 μg/mL treatment.
Showed no concentration-dependent recovery of normal growth rate in ura4-20 strain.
Only slightly or not inhibited ura1-8, ura3-6, and ura5-5 strains.
Created a halo of no growth surrounding ura4-20 streak near ura2-60 lawns, confirming it is the inhibitory enantiomorph.
Showed unimpeded growth of USA-resistant ura2-60 derivative adjacent to ura4-20.
