A number of 2'- and 3'-modified thymidine 5'-O-monophosphate analogues were synthesized as potential leads for new anti-mycobacterial drugs. Evaluation of their affinity for Mycobacterium tuberculosis thymidine monophosphate kinase showed that a 2'-halogeno substituent and a 3'-azido function are the most favorable leads for further development of potent inhibitors of this enzyme.
