INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF SOME MARINE SPONGE EXTRACTS FROM URABÁ GULF ON DIHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE ENZYME

Dihydrofolate reductase is an enzyme involved in the production of pyrimidinic base timidin, a structural component of DNA, therefore whatever substance that inhibit this enzyme inhibit the DNA synthesis as a consequence and it can be potentially useful as a treatment of several types of cancer like...
