Many cancers lack the expression of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP). These cancers require adenylosuccinate synthetase (AdSS) for nucleic acid synthesis. By inhibiting adenylosuccinate synthetase, we potentially have a new therapeutic agent. Bisubstrate inhibitors were synthesized and evaluated against purified AdSS. The best activity was obtained with adenosine bearing a four‐carbon linker that connects the N ‐formyl‐ N ‐hydroxy moiety to the 6‐position of the purine nucleoside.
