title: [Pyrimidine derivatives: their psychotropic properties and the molecular mechanisms of their central action].
abstract: The data on the neuro- and psychotropic effects of exo- and endogenous derivatives of pyrimidine are systematized. Uridine is characterized as an endogenous anxiolytic and antidepressant and thimidine as uridine antagonist. The given properties are probably determined by the binding of pyrimidine nucleosides to GABA, benzodiazepine and imipramine receptors as well as by their influence on the neuromediator systems. The involvement of the system of endogenous pyrimidines in the development of psychoneurological disturbances in man is shown.
