Plasmodium falciparum thymidylatekinase (PfTMK) is a critical enzyme in the de novo biosynthesis pathway of pyrimidine nucleotides. N-(5′-Deoxy-α-thymidin-5′-yl)-N′-[4-(2-chlorobenzyloxy)phenyl]urea was developed as an inhibitor of PfTMK and has been reported as an effective inhibitor of P. falciparum growth with an EC50 of 28 nM [Cui, H., et al. (2012) J. Med. Chem. 55, 10948–10957]. Using this compound
