Abstract

The fluorinated pyrimidine family of nucleosides continues to represent major current chemotherapeutic agents for treating solid tumors. We herein report their phosphate prodrugs, ProTides, as promising new derivatives, which partially bypass the dependence of the current drugs on active transport and nucleoside kinase-mediated activation. They are also resistant to metabolic deactivation by phosphorolytic enzymes. We report 39 ProTides of the fluorinated pyrimidine FUDR with variation in the aryl, ester, and amino acid regions. Notably, only certain ProTide motifs are successful in delivering the nucleoside monophosphate into intact cells. We also find that the ProTides retain activity in mycoplasma infected cells, unlike FUDR. Data suggest these compounds to be worthy of further progression.
