Bacterial cytidine deaminases as versatile activators of fluoropyrimidine nucleoside prodrugs
A platform for modification of 5-fluoropyrimidine nucleosides as potential prodrugs has been developed utilizing bacterial-derived cytidine deaminases (CDAs) for activation. It has been demonstrated that CDA_EH, CDA_F14, and CDA_Lsp effectively convert 5-fluoropyrimidine analogs into 5-fluoro-(2′-deoxy)uridine exhibiting cytotoxic effects. Prodrug activation, leading to reduced viability in CDA-expressing cells, has been observed in HCT116, MCF7, and U87MG cancer cell lines. This framework allows the evaluation of various N4-acyl/alkyl-5-fluorocytidines, 4-alkylthio-5-fluorouridines, 4-alkoxy-5-fluoro- and 4-alkoxy-5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridines for their potential use in enzyme-prodrug therapy. Overall, the developed platform provides valuable guidance on selecting both enzyme and prodrug components for the development of effective enzyme-prodrug strategies.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a global journal that publishes studies on all aspects of medicinal chemistry. It provides a medium for publication of original papers and also welcomes critical review papers.
A typical paper would report on the organic synthesis, characterization and pharmacological evaluation of compounds. Other topics of interest are drug design, QSAR, molecular modeling, drug-receptor interactions, molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal expects manuscripts to present the rational for a study, provide insight into the design of compounds or understanding of mechanism, or clarify the targets.
