Abstract

Highly proliferating cells, such as cancer cells, are in high demand of pyrimidine nucleotides for their proliferation, accomplished by de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. The human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH) enzyme plays a vital role in the rate-limiting step of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. As a recognised therapeutic target, hDHODH plays a significant role in cancer and other illness. In the past two decades, small molecules as inhibitors hDHODH enzyme have drawn much attention as anticancer agents, and their role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and multiple sclerosis (MS). In this patent review, we have compiled patented hDHODH inhibitors published between 1999 and 2022 and discussed the development of hDHODH inhibitors as anticancer agents. Therapeutic potential of small molecules as hDHODH inhibitors for the treatment of various diseases, such as cancer, is very well recognised. Human DHODH inhibitors can rapidly cause intracellular uridine monophosphate (UMP) depletion to produce starvation of pyrimidine bases. Normal cells can better endure a brief period of starvation without the side effects of conventional cytotoxic medication and resume synthesis of nucleic acid and other cellular functions after inhibition of de novo pathway using an alternative salvage pathway. Highly proliferative cells such as cancer cells do not endure starvation because they are in high demand of nucleotides for cell differentiation, which is fulfilled by de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. In addition, hDHODH inhibitors produce their desired activity at lower doses rather than a cytotoxic dose of other anticancer agents. Thus, inhibition of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis will create new prospects for the development of novel targeted anticancer agents, which ongoing preclinical and clinical experiments define. Our work brings together a comprehensive patent review of the role of hDHODH in cancer, as well as various patents related to the hDHODH inhibitors and their anticancer and other therapeutic potential. This compiled work on patented DHODH inhibitors will guide researchers in pursuing the most promising drug discovery strategies against the hDHODH enzyme as anticancer agents.

Keywords: Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH), hDHODH inhibitors, de novo pyrimidine synthesis, cancer, anticancer agents, pyrimidine nucleotides.
