The study investigates the anti-HIV activity of 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxyuridine (d4U) and 2',3'-dideoxyuridine (ddU) and their phosphoramidate ‘ProTide’ derivatives. The researchers hypothesize that the poor anti-HIV activity of d4U and ddU might be due to inefficient phosphorylation by thymidine kinase. Molecular modeling shows that both d4U and ddU have unfavorable positions at the active site of thymidine kinase, which likely hampers their first phosphorylation step. To bypass this issue, the ‘ProTide’ approach was applied, where the phosphate group is masked to improve membrane permeability and reduce susceptibility to dephosphorylation. The study found that while the ‘ProTide’ approach turned ddU into a moderately active anti-HIV agent, it did not enhance the activity of d4U. Enzymatic assays revealed that d4U phosphoramidates were metabolized to release d4U monophosphate, suggesting that poor second and/or third phosphorylation steps are the likely reasons for d4U's lack of anti-HIV activity.
