Bull Exp Biol Med. 2007 May;143(5):575-6. doi: 10.1007/s10517-007-0183-y.

Abstract

Hepatoprotective activity of pyrimidine derivative hydroxymethyluracil was studied on the model of acute paracetamol-induced liver damage in rats. Hydroxymethyluracil was shown to produce a strong hepatoprotective effect.
