In order to clarify the effect of the base moiety of nucleotide analogs on telomerase inhibition, triphosphate derivatives of biologically active nucleosides, 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT), 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarafuranosylthymine (FaraT), acycloguanosine (ACG) and their guanine or thymine counterparts (AZdG, FaraG and ACT, respectively) were investigated. In all of the present cases, guanine derivatives showed more potent inhibition than their thymine counterparts.
