Structure-activity relationship studies on a series of 1-((2- hydroxyethoxy)methyl)-5-(3-(substituted-phenoxy)benzyl)uracils as inhibitors of murine liver uridine phosphorylase have led to compounds with IC50s as low as 1.4 nM. The two most potent compounds, 10j (3-cyanophenoxy) and 11f (3-chlorophenoxy) were tested in vive for effects on steady-state concentrations of circulating uridine in mice and rats. Both compounds were substantially more efficacious than BAU (5-benzylacyclouridine) both in vitro and in vivo.
