The present invention provides a method for producing a cytosine deaminase (CD)-expressing, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-resistant microorganism which can grow in anaerobic tumor tissues, can express CD, and has a resistance to 5-FU at a concentration that is at least effective for antitumor activity. More specifically, the method is a method (A) comprising performing subculture or acclimation culture of a CD-expressing microorganism which can grow in anaerobic tumor tissues, in the presence of 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), or a method (B) comprising (1) performing subculture or acclimation culture of a microorganism which can grow in anaerobic tumor tissues and does not express CD, in the presence of 5-FU to produce a 5-FU-resistant microorganism and (2) transforming the 5-FU-resistant microorganism by introducing a CD gene. The present invention also provides the CD-expressing, 5-FU-resistant microorganism and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the microorganism.

There is described antifungal combination use of known antifungal agents such as the azoles or polyenes in combination with a lipopeptide compound antifungal agent. More particularly, the invention relates to antifungal combination use of azoles such as fluconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, ER 30346 and SCH 56592; polyenes such as amphotericin B, nystatin, liposomal and lipid forms thereof such as Abelcet, AmBisome and Amphocil; purine or pyrimidine nucleotide inhibitors such as flucytosine; or polyoxins such as nikkomycins, in particular nikkomycin Z or nikkomycin X; other chitin inhibitors; elongation factor inhibitors such as sordarin and analogs thereof; mannan inhibitors such as predamycin, bactericidal / permeability-inducing (BPI) protein products such as XMP.97 or XMP.127; or complex carbohydrate antifungal agents such as CAN-296; with a lipopeptide compound [I] as described herein.

The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis of medicines and relates to a preparation method of 5-flucytosine. The preparation method comprises the following steps: utilizing ethyl formate and methyl chloroformate to synthesize 2-chloro-3-oxo methyl propionate, then utilizing oxymethylisourea to close rings to obtain pyrimidine rings, utilizing potassium fluoride to substitute chlorine on the pyrimidine rings, utilizing phosphorus oxytrichloride to substitute hydroxyl groups on the pyrimidine rings, then adding ammonia water to lead chloride to be substituted with aminogroups, and hydrolyzing under an acid condition to obtain a product, namely the 5-flucytosine. The preparation method has the beneficial effects that the methyl chloroacetate is adopted for substituting methyl fluoroacetate to be used as a synthetic raw material of the 5-flucytosine, so that the use of highly-toxic chemicals such as the methyl fluoroacetate is avoided; simultaneously, since the price of the methyl chloroacetate is much lower than the price of the methyl fluoroacetate, the production cost can be saved; by utilization of the synthetic route provided by the invention, the higher-purity 5-flucytosine can be prepared without need of complex aftertreatment steps; simultaneously, the preparation method has higher overall yield and obvious industrial value and is worthy of being promoted and used on a large scale.

The present invention obtains a brand-new 5-fluorocytosine derivative, and uses the 5-fluorocytosine derivative to prepare a highly immunogenic 5-fluorocytosine artificial antigen, and then immunizes experimental animals to obtain a high-titer anti-antigenic antigen. 5-fluorocytosine-specific antibody; meanwhile, use the 5-fluorocytosine derivative to prepare a 5-fluorocytosine enzyme-labeled conjugate. The 5-fluorocytosine immunoassay reagent containing the above-mentioned anti-5-fluorocytosine specific antibody and 5-fluorocytosine enzyme-labeled conjugate can realize the automatic determination of 5-fluorocytosine content on a fully automatic biochemical analyzer , can high-throughput, rapid and accurate determination of 5-fluorocytosine content in biological samples, and has the advantages of simple operation, high sensitivity, strong specificity, accurate results, etc., effectively reducing the cost of 5-fluorocytosine detection, It is beneficial to widely popularize and use clinically.

A process for the resolution of a racemic mixture of nucleoside enantiomers that includes the step of exposing the racemic mixture to an enzyme that preferentially catalyzes a reaction in one of the enantiomers. The nucleoside enantiomer (−)-2-hydroxymethyl-5-(5-fluorocytosin-1-yl)-1,3-oxathiolane is an effective antiviral agent against HIV, HBV, and other viruses replicating in a similar manner.
