CTP synthase (CTPS) catalyzes the conversion of UTP to CTP and is a recognized target for the development of anticancer, antiviral, and antiprotozoal agents. Xanthine and related compounds inhibit CTPS activity (IC(50)=0.16-0.58mM). The presence of an 8-oxo function (i.e., uric acids) enhances inhibition (IC(50)=0.060-0.121mM). An intact purine ring with anionic character favors inhibition. In general, methylation of the purine does not significantly affect inhibition.
CTP 合酶(CTPS)催化 UTP 转化为 CTP,是开发抗癌、抗病毒和抗原生动物药物的公认靶点。黄嘌呤和相关化合物抑制 CTPS 活性(IC(50)=0.16-0.58mM)。8-氧功能(即尿酸)的存在增强了抑制作用(IC(50)=0.060-0.121mM)。具有阴离子特性的完整嘌呤环有利于抑制。一般来说,嘌呤的甲基化不会显著影响抑制作用。
