DESCRIPTION: The use of dietary modification to supplement conventional cancer therapy is an eminently practical approach that is receiving growing attention. Dietary composition dictates nutrient availability in the plasma and therefore in the microenvironment of cells in the body, including cancer cells. Cancer cells consume both glucose and glutamine in amounts that substantially exceed those of normal cells. Perhaps not surprisingly, these metabolites share several metabolic fates and each can sometimes compensate for the lack of the other (see Figure 1). Both glucose and glutamine are required for nucleotide synthesis. In this pathway, their roles are complementary and therefore deprivation of either will result in insufficient nucleotide synthesis. Glutamine contributes one nitrogen atom to the pyrimidine ring and two nitrogen atoms to the purine ring, whereas glucose is necessary for synthesis of PRPP from ribose-5-phosphate. A purine is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound,...
