Abstract

5‐Azacytidine 5′‐triphosphate (5‐aza‐CTP) inhibited the phosphorylation of uridine, cytidine, and 5‐azacytidine (5‐aza‐C) in a reaction catalyzed by uridine‐cytidine kinase. The inhibition appeared to be competitive with respect to the adenosine 5′‐triphosphate and noncompetitive with respect to nucleoside substrates. 5‐aza‐CTP was a potent inhibitor of 5‐aza‐C phosphorylation but a weak inhibitor of uridine and cytidine phosphorylation. These results suggest that the feedback inhibition of uridine‐cytidine kinase by 5‐aza‐CTP may limit the amount of intracellular nucleotide analog formed in drug‐treated cells.

We have examined analogs of the previously reported 7-deaza-2Ј-deoxypurine nucleoside triphosphate series of human telomerase inhibitors. Two new telomerase-inhibiting nucleotides are reported: 6-methoxy-7-deaza-2Ј-deoxyguanosine 5Ј-triphosphate (OMDG-TP) and 6-thio-7-deaza-2Ј-deoxyguanosine 5Ј-trip
