Mechanism-based inactivation of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase by 5-ethynyluracil.
1 Mar 1992
Abstract excerpt
Uracil analogues with appropriate substituents at the 5-position inactivated dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DHPDHase). The efficiency of these inactivators was highly dependent on the size of the 5-substituent. For example, 5-ethynyluracil inactivated DHPDHase with an efficiency (kinact/Ki) that was 500-fold greater than that for 5-propynyluracil. 5-Ethynyluracil inactivated DHPDHase by initially forming a...
