General description

2′-Deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate disodium salt (dUMP) is a substrate for thymidylate synthase and is converted to deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP).

Application

2′-Deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate (dUMP) is used by the enzyme thymidylate synthetase (TS) (EC 2.1.1.45) for the de novo production of dTMP. dUMP is used as the reference substrate in studies of dUMP analogues in potential chemotherapy applications.
2′-Deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate disodium salt has been used:
  • in ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS/MS) assay
  • to stimulate proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMCs) exposed to influenza virus antigen
  • in thymidylate synthase activity assay Helicobacter pylori

Biochem/physiol Actions

2′-Deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate disodium salt (dUMP) conversion to pyrimidine is inhibited by methotrexate. The inhibition of dUMP to deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP) at the methylation step is a key in controlling bacterial and eukaryotic cell growth.

Biosynthesis of the DNA base thymine depends on activity of the enzyme thymidylate synthase to catalyse the methylation of the uracil moiety of 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate. All known thymidylate synthases rely on an active site residue of the enzyme to activate 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate.

Amphiphilic anticancer prodrugs of 5'-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate (5-FdUMP) were synthesized according to the hydrogen phosphonate method by coupling lipophilic cytosine derivatives or a phospholipid with 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (5-FdU). Studies within the in vitro Anticancer Screen Program of the National Cancer Institute have demonstrated
