Dietary orotic acid is known to induce the fatty liver. Fatty acid profiles in the lipid fraction of the liver and the serum in rats fed with or with orotic acid diet were analyzed. In all the hepatic lipid fraction of rats fed on the supplemented orotic acid diet, there was a significant increased in linoleic acid. In addition, linoleic acid was also increased in the triacylglycerol fraction of hepatic endoplasmic reticulum and the triacylglycerol and diacylglycerol fractions of hepatic Golgi apparatus of the orotic acid-feeding rats. In the time course study of the fatty acid profile in the hepatic triacylglycerol and diacylgycerol fractions, an increase of linoleic acid was observed similarly in the initial stages of orotic acid intake in the both fractions. However, linoleic acid in the serum triacylglycerol fraction of orotic acid-feeding rats increased from day 1, but it began to decrease the increment from day 2, resulting in the lower level of linoleic acid in the serum triacylglycerol fraction of orotic acid-feeding rats than that of rat fed a orotic acid-free diet after 10 days. Oleic acid (18:1) was increased in the only cholesteryl ester fraction of helpatic. However, oleic acid level in other fractions was not changed. The compositions of 14:0, 16:0 and 18:0 was reduced in the hepatic triacylogylcerol, diacylglycerol and cholesteryl ester fractions by orotic acid-feeding. However, these saturated fatty acids were significantly increased in the serum triacylglycerol fractions. The orotic acid indcued changes in linoleic acid level in hepatic triacylglycerol may be explained by the impaired fatty acid metabolism and limited excretion of this fatty acid from liver to serum.

Orotic acid의 과잉 섭취는 지질대사의 이상으로 인한 간 장해를 야기시키는 것이 알려져있다. 특히 지방간 생성에 대하여 관심을 가지게 되어서 본 연구는 orotic acid에 의한 혈청, 신장(腎臟) 및 간장(肝臟)의 지질 농도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 시판 분말 chow 식이에 orotic acid 1% 첨가, 무첨가한 식이를 21일간 90g 전후의 성장기 Sprague-Dawley 계(系) 웅성 쥐에 급여하였다. 그 결과 orotic acid 1% 첨가 식이에서 혈청cholesterol, triglyceride 및 phospholipid 농도는 각각 5% 수준에서 유의하게 저하 하였다. 간장(肝臟)의 triglyceride 농도는 5% 수준에서 유의하게 저하 하였다. Orotic acid 첨가 식이에서 간장(肝臟)중량은 증가한 반면 신장(腎臟)중량은 저하하였다. Orotic acid 1% 첨가한 군에서 간장(肝臟) 및 신장(腎臟)의 phospholipid조성에의 영향은 인정되지 않았으나, 신장(腎臟)의 lysophosphatidylcholine은 높은 증가율을 보였다. 간장(肝臟) phospholipid와 비교하여 신장(腎臟)에서는 sphingomyeline phosphatidylethanolamine은 유의하게 높은 분포를 나타냈다. 신장(腎臟) phospholipid의 지방산 조성중에서 linoleic acid(18:2)가 상승하고 arachidonic acid(20:4)가 감소하였다.

Male mice (ddY strain) were fed with the chow diet containing 10% sucrose supplemented with orotic acid at the 1% level or/and taurine at the 5% levels for 14 days. The concentrations of triacylglycerol and cholesterol in the liver were significantly lower in the orotic acid group than the control group. When taurine and orotic acid were administered simultaneously, the concentrations of triacylglycerol and cholesterol in the liver were higher and lower, respectively, compared to the orotic acid group. The concentration of triacylglycerol in the serum was higher in the taurine group than that of the control or the orotic acid groups, and the simultaneous supplementation of orotic acid and taurine further enhanced. There were no significantly difference in body weight gain, diary food intake, and the concentrations of serum cholesterol and hepatic phospholipid. These results suggest that dietary taurine stimulated the increasion of hepatic triacylglycerol by orotic acid in mouse.

Male mice (ddY strain) were fed a laboratory chow diet containing 10% sucrose supplemented with orotic acid, hesperetin or naringenin at the 1% level for 14 days. the concentrations of liver triacylglycerol and cholesterol were significantly lower in the OA group than in the control group. When both flavonoids and orotic acid were administered simultaneously, the orotic acid-dependent decrease in liver triacylglycerol and cholesterol were attenuated slightly. The concentration of serum cholesterol in the orotic acid group or the control group was lower than in the orotic acid groups supplemented with hesperetin or naringenin. There were no significantly difference in body weight gain, diary food intake, and the serum concentrations of triacylglycerol and high-density-lipoprotein cholestrol. It was concluded that the inducement of fatty liver in mice failed to feeding a laboratory chow diet containing 10% sucrose supplemented with 1% orotic acid for 14 days.

Effects of 1% dietary orotic acid on triglyceride metabolism were examined in SD-rats and Kud: ddY mice. When rats were fed semisynthetic diet containing 1% orotic acid and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (linoleic acid), the hepared diet. In contrast to rats which respond to orotic acid consumption with increases in hepatic triglyceride content, mice did not so respond. The rats-limiting step in triglyceride synthesis is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatic acid phosphohydrolase (EC3.1.3.4) which is present in the liver cytosol and microsomes of rats fed oroic acid diet. This finding suggests that the activity of this enzyme may play a tole in the fatty liver formation in rats.

Biopbysical investigation has been carried out for the interaction of riboflavin tetraacetate and an orotic acid derivative to know the binding mechanism between dihydroorotate dehydrogenase and dihydroorotic acid which are concerned with the oxidoreduction in vivo. Infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were measured for the chloroform solution of riboflavin tetraacetate, orotic acid butyl ester and its same mixture. Orotic acid butyl ester has been found to associate with riboflavin tetraacetate. They form a strong complex with each other. The complex is an 1:2 cyclic hydrogen bonded trimer through the imino and 2-C carbonyl groups of the isoalloxazine ring and the imino groups of the orotic acid derivative.

단백질 분해 활성, 이화학적 특성 및 생리활성을 검토한 결과 우수한 효능을 나타낸 Bacillus subtilis 및 Aspergillus kawachii 균주를 이용하여 Orotic acid-유발 지방간의 개선 효과를 알아보기 위해 발효된 누에 분말을 식이에 5% 수준으로 첨가하였다. 발효 누에 분말은 Orotic acid 지방간 유발 흰쥐의 간 조직 및 혈청 중성지질 농도를 낮춰주고, 혈청 지질농도를 정상 수준으로 올려주어 지방간 개선에 도움을 주었다. SP 투여군과 AFSP 투여군에 반해, BFSP 투여군에서 지질대사와 관련된 개선 효과를 보였고, 간 조직의 병리학적 관찰결과에서도 BFSP 투여군이 간소엽을 구성하고 있는 간 세포들이 전반적으로 균일하게 배열되어 있어 정상군(N)의 간 소견과 비슷한 양상을 보여 지방간의 개선효과가 있는 것으로 보였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 발효 누에 분말은 향후 지방간 개선효능을 가지는 건강식품 개발 가능성이 높은 소재로 판단되어 진다.

It has been reported in the technical literature that orotic acid can be used in order to induce improved crystallization of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers like poly(L-lactic acid), polyhydroxybutyrate and poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexaonat). The expected advantage of the changed crystalline structure is a reinforcing effect of the polymers. A lot of papers reported about the application of inorganic and organic agents for acceleration of heterogeneous nucleation. This study reports on an attempt to use orotic acid as appropriate non-toxic nucleating agent for improving mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene. Special attention is given to demonstrate the effect of nucleation in a typical melt spinning process in order to improve the mechanical properties. The effects were demonstrated using rheology, thermal analysis and tensile testing.

Two new orotic acid derivatives orotyl-DL-alanine and orotyl-L-tyrosine were synthesized. They were obtained as high melting crystalline masses by condensing DL-alanine and L-tyrosine each with orotyl chloride in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, followed by acidifying the reaction mixture.
