Abstract:
:Uridine (Urd) is a promising biochemical modulator to reduce host toxicity caused by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) without impairing its antitumor activity. Elevated doses of Urd are required to achieve a protective effect against 5-FU toxicity, but exogenous administration of Urd is not well-tolerated. Selective inhibitors of human uridine phosphorylase (hUP) have been proposed as a strategy to increase Urd levels. We describe synthesis and characterization of a new class of ligands that inhibit hUP type 1 (hUP1). The design of ligands was based on a possible SN1 catalytic mechanism and as mimics of the carbocation in the transition state of hUP1. The kinetic and thermodynamic profiles showed that the ligands here presented are the most potent in vitro hUP1 inhibitors developed to date. In addition, a lead compound improved the antiproliferative effects of 5-FU on colon cancer cells, accompanied by a reduction of in vitro 5-FU cytotoxicity in aggressive SW-620 cancer cells.
