title: Synthesis and biological evaluation of nucleoside dicarboxylates as potential mimics of nucleoside diphosphates.
abstract: A series of nucleotide analogues wherein the diphosphate moiety has been replaced by a dicarboxylate were synthesized and tested for inhibitory activity against nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase as well as several pathogenic bacterial strains.
