Abstract

Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of thymidine and other pyrimidine 2′-deoxyribonucleosides. In addition, TP has been shown to possess angiogenic activity in a number of in vitro and in vivo assays, and its angiogenic activity has been linked to its catalytic activity. A series of 5-and 6-substituted uracil derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their abilities to inhibit TP activity. Among the most active ...
