Title: Synthesis and enzymatic evaluation of xanthine oxidase-activated prodrugs based on inhibitors of thymidine phosphorylase.

Authors: Reigan P, Gbaj A, Chinje E, Stratford IJ, Douglas KT, Freeman S.

Abstract: A series of xanthine oxidase-activated prodrugs of known inhibitors of thymidine phosphorylase has been designed and synthesised to introduce tumour selectivity. These prodrugs were oxidised by xanthine oxidase at C-2 and/or C-4 of the uracil ring to generate the desired TP inhibitor.
