Abstract

A novel series of 5-propynyl-dUMP derivatives, with a variety of leaving groups on the side-chain, was designed as potential mechanism-based inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS), and synthesized from 5-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine by Pd(O)-catalyzed coupling, followed by direct phosphorylation with POCl3. All members of the series inhibited TS competitively with Ki-values of 0.015-18 μM. Analogs with fluorine or imidazole-based leaving groups caused rapid, irreversible inactivation of TS.
