Abstract:
:A series of novel 6-methylene-bridged uracil derivatives have been optimized for clinical use as the inhibitors of human thymidine phosphorylase (TP). We describe their synthesis and evaluation. Introduction of a guanidino or an amidino group enhanced the in vitro inhibitory activity of TP comparing with formerly reported inhibitor 1. Their selectivity for TP based on uridine phosphorylase inhibitory activity was also evaluated. Compound 2 (TPI) has been selected for clinical evaluation based on its strong TP inhibition and excellent modulation of 2'-deoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)uridine (F(3)dThd) pharmacokinetics. As a result, TAS-102 (a combination of F(3)dThd and TPI) is currently in phase 1 clinical studies.
