Abstract

5-Fluoropropynyl-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-phosphate (3) was designed as a mechanism-based inactivator of thymidylate synthase (TS). The inhibitor was synthesized from 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine and propargyl alcohol by palladium-catalyzed coupling, followed by fluorination and selective phosphorylation. Incubation of TS with 3, in the presence or absence of the CH2H4folate cofactor, caused rapid, irreversible inactivation of the enzyme. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
