Those originally employed were based either on the fusion of the PCE to a tumour specific antibody (Antibody-Directed Prodrug Therapy, ADEPT) or on the delivery of the gene encoding the PCE using viral or non-viral vectors (Gene-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy, GDEPT).
Urea is widely used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen and is an important raw material for the chemical industry. Friedrich WÃ¶hler's discovery in 1828 that urea can be produced from inorganic starting materials was an important conceptual milestone in chemistry.
Urea, also called Carbamide, the diamide of carbonic acid. Its formula is H2NCONH2. Urea has important uses as a fertilizer and feed supplement, as well as a starting material for the manufacture of plastics and drugs. It is a colourless, crystalline substance that melts at 132.7Â° C (271Â° F) and decomposes before boiling.
