Abstract: | 5,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-oxo-[1-(2-trifluoromethyl)-3,3,3- trifluoropropionamido)-1-trifluoromethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl- 1,3,2-dioxaphosphan (CA-423) is an in vitro inhibitor of the Escherichia coli uridine and thymidine phosphorylases. Unlike widely studied nucleoside analogues, this compound binds to the enzymes irreversibly. Its LD50 in mice was 40 mg/kg. Due to the involvement of pyrimidine phosphorylases in carcinogenesis and the relatively low toxicity of CA-423, it is promising for anticancer therapy. |
