Popis: Thymidylate synthase (EC 2.1.1.45), a target enzyme in chemotherapy, catalyzes the N5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate-dependent C(5) methylation of dUMP. In search of its inhibitors, interactions were compared of new substrate analogues, 4-seleno-dUMP (4-Se-dUMP), 2-seleno-5-fluoro-dUMP (2-Se-FdUMP) and 4-seleno-5-fluoro-dUMP (4-Se-FdUMP), with two thymidylate synthase forms differing in sensitivities towards FdUMP inhibition, isolated from parental and FdUrd-resistant L1210 cell lines (1). The nucleoside forms of the analogues were tested as mouse leukemia L5178Y cell growth inhibitors.
