We explored the influence of modifications of uridine 5'-methylenephosphonate on biological activity at the human P2Y(2) receptor. Key steps in the synthesis of a series of 5-substituted uridine 5'-methylenephosphonates were the reaction of a suitably protected uridine 5'-aldehyde with [(diethoxyphosphinyl)methylidene]triphenylphosphorane, C-5 bromination and a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. These analogues behaved as selective agonists at the P2Y(2) receptor, with three analogues exhibiting potencies ...[more]
