Plasmodiumfalciparum thymidylate kinase (PfTMPK) is a key enzyme in pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis. 3-Trifluoromethyl-4-chloro-phenyl-urea-α-thymidine has been reported as an inhibitor of Mycobacteriumtuberculosis TMPK (MtTMPK). Starting from this point, we designed, synthesized and evaluated a number of thymidine analogues as antimalarials. Both 5′-urea-α- and β-thymidine derivatives were moderate
