Thymidine phosphorylase (TP), an enzyme involved in pyrimidine metabolism, is identical with an angiogenic factor, platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor. 2-Deoxy-D-ribose (D-dRib), the degradation product of thymidine generated by TP activity, has been suggested to be a downstream mediator of

GS-9148 (2'-Fd4AP, 4) has been identified as a nucleoside phosphonate reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor with activity against wild-type HIV (EC(50)=12 microM). Unlike many clinical RT inhibitors, relevant reverse transcriptase mutants (M184V, K65R, 6-TAMs) maintain a susceptibility to 2'-Fd4AP that is

Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) catalyzes the reversible conversion of thymidine to thymine, thereby generating 2-deoxy-D-ribose-1-phosphate, which upon dephosphorylation forms 2-deoxy-D-ribose (D-dRib), a degradation product of thymidine. We have previously shown that D-dRib promotes angiogenesis and chemotaxis of endothelial cells and also

Elevated thymidine phosphorylase has been shown to correlate with increased angiogenesis and poor prognosis in many cancers including transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. In vitro studies have demonstrated that thymidine phosphorylase activity causes cellular oxidative stress and increases secretion
