Introduction of a bulky lipophilic acyl entity at the 2'-OH position of both 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylthymine (araT) and (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil (BVaraU), consistently resulted in a marked ( approximately 10-fold) increase in the inhibitory activity of these new arabinosyl nucleoside analogues for the mitochondrial

The multisubstrate nucleoside kinase of Drosophila melanogaster (Dm-dNK) can be expressed in human solid tumor cells and its unique enzymatic properties makes this enzyme a suicide gene candidate. In the present study, Dm-dNK was stably expressed in the CCRF-CEM and

Novel N1-substituted thymine derivatives related to 1-[(Z)-4-(triphenylmethoxy)-2-butenyl]thymine have been synthesized and evaluated against thymidine kinase-2 (TK-2) and related nucleoside kinases [i.e., Drosophila melanogaster deoxynucleoside kinase (Dm-dNK) and herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV-1 TK)]. The thymine base has

Human cells salvage pyrimidine deoxyribonucleosides via 5'-phosphorylation which is also the route of activation of many chemotherapeutically used nucleoside analogs. Key enzymes in this metabolism are the cytosolic thymidine kinase (TK1), the mitochondrial thymidine kinase (TK2) and the cytosolic deoxycytidine
