pyrimidines

He was interested in synthesizing furanosyl nucleosides (purines and pyrimidines linked to six carbon sugars with five member rings) as potential antitumor drugs.

The purines (A and G) were depicted with closed symbols, whereas pyrimidines (C and T) were open.

Not only is this series of reactions responsible for most of the energy needs in complex organisms, the molecules that are produced in these reactions can be used as building blocks for a large number of important processes, including the synthesis of fatty acids, steroids, cholesterol, amino acids for building proteins, and the purines and pyrimidines used in the synthesis of DNA.

It turns out that the four kinds of building blocks in DNA are of two types, called purines and pyrimidines.

In order to make pyrimidines, the parasite, like other organisms, needs first to make several forms of a vitamin called folic acid.

The two drugs in S/P, which both resemble natural chemicals in the metabolic pathway, block separate steps in the multistep pathway that makes pyrimidines.

So if its ability to make pyrimidines can be undercut, the bug is stymied.
