Title: Mechanism-based inactivation of thymidylate synthase by 5-(3-fluoropropyn-1-yl)-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-phosphate.

Authors: Kalman TI, Nie Z, Kamat A.

Abstract: 5-Fluoropropynyl-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-phosphate (3) was designed as a mechanism-based inactivator of thymidylate synthase (TS). The inhibitor was synthesized from 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine and propargyl alcohol by palladium-catalyzed coupling, followed by fluorination and selective phosphorylation. Incubation of TS with 3, in the presence or absence of the CH2H4folate cofactor, caused rapid, irreversible inactivation of the enzyme.
