Thymidylate synthase (TSase) is a key enzyme in cell proliferation as it catalyzes a reaction essential for DNA replication, a reductive methylation of 2′-deoxyuridine-5′-monophosphate (dUMP) to form 2′-deoxythymidine-5′-monophosphate (dTMP) using the co-substrate N5,N10-methylene-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate (CH2H4F).

The activity and expression of TSase are tightly controlled throughout the cell cycle, particularly at the translational level. The TSase protein itself binds to the TSase mRNA both at the translational start site (TSS) and in the coding region, inhibiting translational processing of the message. TSase can also bind to the mRNA of at least nine other important gene products, including those of p53 and c-myc. Therefore, manipulating the level of the TSase protein could induce a cascade of consequential effects on cell growth. Because of its importance in DNA precursor synthesis and repair, TSase has proved to be an important target for many chemotherapeutic and antibiotic drugs. Structural analogs of dUMP (e.g., fluoropyrimidines) and CH2H4F (e.g., antifolates) are well-established drugs targeting thymidylate synthase.

    		Inhibitor 99.97%
    2’-deoxyuridine is a brain-penetrant pyrimidines nucleotide that is associated with nervous system diseases. 2'-Deoxyuridine could increase chromosome breakage and results in a decreased thymidylate synthetase activity. 2'-Deoxyuridine is a precursor in the synthesis of Edoxudine (HY-B1011) and also an analogue of 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, EdU (HY-118411). 2’-deoxyuridine reduces microglial activation and improve oxidative stress damage by modulating glycolytic metabolism on the Aβ25-35-induced brain injury, which is promising for research of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

    CB 3717
    		Inhibitor
    CB 3717 is a potent inhibitor of human thymidylate synthetase, competitively binding with 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (Ki = 4.9 X 10(-9) M). It also competitively inhibits human dihydrofolate reductase with dihydrofolate (Ki = 2.3 X 10(-8) M). In WI-L2 human lymphoblastoid cells, CB 3717 treatment led to a significant decrease in cellular dTTP levels and a notable increase in dUMP levels, indicating a disruption in nucleotide metabolism. The growth-inhibitory effect of CB 3717 was reversed by thymidine supplementation, demonstrating that thymidylate synthetase became rate-limiting in the presence of this compound. Delayed thymidine supplementation beyond 8 hours resulted in severe cytotoxicity, underscoring the critical timing of nucleotide rescue strategies in CB 3717-treated cells.
