We report a series of β-branched acyclic tritylated deoxyuridine analogues as inhibitors of Plasmodiumfalciparum deoxyuridine-5′-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (PfdUTPase), an enzyme involved in nucleotide metabolism that acts as first line of defence against uracil incorporation into DNA. Compounds were assayed against both PfdUTPase and intact parasites showing a correlation between enzyme inhibition
