CSP: pyrimidine nucleoside, uracil linked by its N1 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose; a component of RNA.,PDQ: A nucleoside consisting of uracil and D-ribose and a component of RNA. Uridine has been studied as a rescue agent to reduce the toxicities associated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), thereby allowing the administration of higher doses of 5-FU in chemotherapy regimens.
