Nucleoside Diphosphate Prodrugs [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Symposium Series, 2008
Nucleoside analogs are widely applied in antiviral and antitumor therapy. A severe limitation of these compounds arises from the need of biotransformation to the eventually active nucleoside triphosphates by stepwise addition of phosphate by kinases. This problem can be circumvented by employing reversibly masked nucleotides (prodrugs).

A Novel Method for the Preparation of Nucleoside Diphosphates

open access: yes, 2016
Sugar nucleoside diphosphates have been prepared using an efficient phosphate coupling reaction that employs a highly reactive zwitterionic phosphoramidate intermediate as the phosphorylating ...

Structural and functional investigations of syn-copalyl diphosphate synthase from Oryza sativa

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry, 2023
The large superfamily of labdane-related diterpenoids is defined by the cyclization of linear geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), catalyzed by copalyl diphosphate synthases (CPSs) to form the basic decalin core, the copalyl diphosphates (CPPs).

Harnessing enzyme plasticity for the synthesis of oxygenated sesquiterpenoids

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019
8-Methoxy-γ-humulene, (E)-8-methoxy-β-farnesene, 12-methoxy-β-sesquiphellandrene and 12-methoxyzingiberene can be synthesised in amorphadiene synthase-catalysed reactions from 8- and 12-methoxyfarnesyl diphosphates due to the highly plastic yet tightly ...

Structure of a membrane-embedded prenyltransferase homologous to UBIAD1. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2014
Membrane-embedded prenyltransferases from the UbiA family catalyze the Mg2+-dependent transfer of a hydrophobic polyprenyl chain onto a variety of acceptor molecules and are involved in the synthesis of molecules that mediate electron transport ...

Acetylation regulates ribonucleotide reductase activity and cancer cell growth

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the de novo synthesis of deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates to provide dNTP precursors for DNA synthesis. Here the authors show that the availability of dNTPs, DNA replication, and cellular proliferation, are ...

1-β-d-Arabinofuranosylcytosine-5′-alkylphosphonophosphates and diphosphates: new orally active derivatives of ara-C

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1998
ara-Cytidine-5′-alkylphosphonophosphates and the corresponding -diphosphates were found to be cytostatically active in vitro against the human mammary epithelial cell line H184 A1N4 and the human mammary tumor cell line MaTu.

Thallium diphosphates

open access: yes, 2020
Three thallium(I) diphosphates with compositions Tl4P2O7, Tl2H2P2O7, Tl2H2P2O7(H2O)0.5 and the mixed-valent thallium(I,III) diphosphate Tl2P2O7 (= TlITlIIIP2O7) were obtained from aqueous solutions using an ion-exchange resin (Tl4P2O7), through thermal ...

Formation of Diphosphates. A NMR Study on the Mechanism and Stereochemistry of Diphosphate Formation from Chiral Dioxaphosphorinanes

open access: yes, 2016
During the use of chiral 2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes as derivatizing reagents in the enantiomeric excess determination of amines, alcohols, and unprotected amino acids, minor traces of side reaction products were observed by 1H and 31P NMR ...

Ribonucleotide reductase subunit M2 predicts survival in subgroups of patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma: effects of gender and smoking status.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundRibonucleotide reductase catalyzes the conversion of ribonucleotide diphosphates to deoxyribonucleotide diphosphates. The functional enzyme consists of two subunits - one large (RRM1) and one small (RRM2 or RRM2b) subunit.
