Trifluridine (NSC-75520) is a fluorinated thymidine analog with potential antineoplastic activity. Trifluridine is incorporated into DNA and inhibits thymidylate synthase, resulting in inhibition of DNA synthesis, inhibition of protein synthesis, and apoptosis. This agent also exhibits antiviral activity.

Rac-Belinostat (PX-105684) is a novel hydroxamic acid-type histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with antineoplastic activity. Belinostat targets HDAC enzymes, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, promoting cellular differentiation, and inhibiting angiogenesis. This agent may sensitize drug-resistant tumor cells to other antineoplastic agents, possibly through a mechanism involving the down-regulation of thymidylate synthase.

2'-Deoxyuridine (2-deoxyuridine). An antimetabolite that is converted to deoxyuridine triphosphate during DNA synthesis. Laboratory suppression of deoxyuridine is used to diagnose megaloblastic anemias due to vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies.

5-Fluoroorotic acid is an inhibitor of thymidylate synthase. 5-Fluoroorotic is a selective agent in yeast molecular genetics.5-Fluoroorotic possesses a well-expressed anticandidal effect close to that of 5-fluorocytosine, as well as moderate antidermatophytal effects.

Folinic acid calcium (Leucovorin Calcium) is the active metabolite of folic acid. Leucovorin is used principally as an antidote to folic acid antagonists.

Floxuridine (FUDR) is an antimetabolite, floxuridine inhibits thymidylate synthase, resulting in disruption of DNA synthesis and cytotoxicity.

Pemetrexed disodium (LY-231514) is a parenterally administered folate antagonist and antineoplastic agent, used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. Pemetrexed disodium therapy has been associated with moderate rates of serum enzyme elevations during therapy, but has not been convincingly linked to instances of acute, clinically apparent liver injury.

Pemetrexed (LY-231514 Disodium Hydrate), a guanine-derived antineoplastic agent, binds to and inhibits the enzyme thymidylate synthase (TS).

Pemetrexed disodium hemipenta hydrate (LY-231514 Disodium Hydrate) is a new-type antifolate and antimetabolite for TS, DHFR, and GARFT. The Ki of Pemetrexed Disodium Hydrate for TS, DHFR and GARFT is 1.3 nM, 7.2 nM and 65 nM, respectively.

Trifluridine tipiracil hydrochloride mixture (TAS-102) is a novel oral combination drug containing trifluridine (TFT) and tipiracil hydrochloride (TTP) in a 2:1 molar ratio.

Fosfluridine tidoxil, a thymidylate synthase inhibitor, is used potentially for the treatment of colorectal cancer, and breast cancer.

CB 3703 is an inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase and thymidylate synthase.

Metesind Glucuronate is an antineoplastic. It also is a specific thymidylate synthase inhibitor.

5-Fluorouracil-13C,15N2 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 5-flurouracil by GC- or LC-MS. 5-Fluorouracil is a pyrimidine analog that irreversibly inhibits thymidylate synthase, blocking the synthesis of thymidine which is required for DNA synthesis. Intracellular metabolites of 5-fluorouracil exert cytotoxic effects by either inhibiting thymidylate synthetase, or through incorporation into RNA and DNA, ultimately initiating apoptosis.

Fosifloxuridine nafalbenamide (NUC 3373), a pyrimidine nucleotide analogue, is a Thymidylate synthase inhibitor. NUC-3373 has anticancer activity. NUC-3373 is a ProTide transformation of 5-FU that generates much higher concentrations of FUDR-MP in patients' cells.

Pemetrexed Diethyl Ester is a protected intermediate in the synthesis of Pemetrexed, a multi-targeted anti-folate that inhibits thymidylate synthase as well as other folate dependent enzymes.

Raltitrexed (D1694)(IC50 of 9 nM), a thymidylate synthase inhibitor, is used for the inhibition of L1210 cell growth.

TS-IN-5 (Compound 15) is an inhibitor of thymidylate synthase (TS). It induces apoptosis by modulating the proteins Bax, BCL-2, PI3K, and STAT1. TS-IN-5 exhibits antitumor activity against liver cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer.

ANX-510 is a folate-based biomodulator. It stabilizes the covalent binding of the fluorouracil metabolite FdUMP to thymidylate synthase, which results in inhibition of thymidylate synthase, depletion of thymidine triphosphate (TTP), a necessary constituen

5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-8-deazahomofolic acid is a potential thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor and other folate related enzymes inhibitor.

Thiocoraline is a depsipeptide and DNAbis-intercalator originally isolated fromMicromonosporawith antibacterial and anticancer activities.1,2It is active against the Gram-positive bacteriaS. aureus,B. subtilis, andM. luteus(MICs = 0.05, 0.05, and 0.03 μg/ml, respectively) but not Gram-negativeE. coli,K. pneumoniae, orP. aeruginosa(MICs = >100 μg/ml for all).1Thiocoraline inhibits RNA and DNA polymerase and thymidylate synthase (IC50s = 6, 6, and 15 μg/ml, respectively), as well as RNA and DNA synthesisin vitro(IC50s = 0.008 and 0.4 μg/ml, respectively). It is cytotoxic to P388, A549, HT-29, and MEL-28 cancer cells (IC50s = 0.002, 0.002, 0.01, and 0.002 μg/ml, respectively). 1.Romero, F., Espilego, F., Pérez Baz, J., et al.Thiocoraline, a new depsipeptide with antitumor activity produced by a marine Micromonospora.
