Pharmacokinetics of E-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine in mice. 1979

E de Clercq, and J Descamps, and P de Somer, and P J Barr, and A S Jones, and R T Walker

The pharmacokinetics of the newly developed anti-herpes agent, E-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine, was compared with that of the standard anti-herpes drug 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine. Both compounds were administered to mice at 100 mg/kg by either the intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, or oral route. The active blood drug levels achieved by E-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine were considerably higher than those attained by 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (serum peak concentrations: 40 to 100 and 4 to 10 mug/ml, respectively). Active blood drug levels could still be found 320 min after oral administration of E-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine.

These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states. Chemistry, Brain,Brain Chemistries,Chemistries, Brain
D001973 Bromodeoxyuridine A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.

D005467 Floxuridine An antineoplastic antimetabolite that is metabolized to fluorouracil when administered by rapid injection; when administered by slow, continuous, intra-arterial infusion, it is converted to floxuridine monophosphate. It has been used to treat hepatic metastases of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas and for palliation in malignant neoplasms of the liver and gastrointestinal tract.
