Abstract
5-(o-Benzyloxy)benzylbarbituric acid (6) and 5-(p-benzyloxy)benzylbarbituric acid (7) were prepared and their inhibitory activities compared to 5-(m-benzyloxy)-benzylbarbituric acid (BBB) a known, potent inhibitor of uridine phosphorylase (UrdPase). Compounds 6 and 7 were 18-fold and 51-fold less active, respectively, than BBB in inhibiting UrdPase. These data provide solid evidence that the 5-benzylbarbituric acids possessing meta substituents are the most active inhibitors. In addition, 2-thioBBB (11) was synthesized and it was shown to be as active an inhibitor as BBB.Entities:
