The antiviral spectrum of (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine. 1984

E De Clercq

The antiviral activity spectrum of (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (BVdU) is not restricted to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) but also encompasses several other herpesviruses such as suid herpesvirus type 1 (SHV-1), bovid herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1), simian varicella virus (SVV), herpesvirus saimiri, herpesvirus platyrrhinae, and the baculovirus Trichoplusia ni multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus. Other herpesviruses such as herpes simplex virus type 2, cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus are also inhibited by BVdU, albeit to a lesser extent than HSV-1, VZV, SHV-1, BHV-1 and SVV.

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.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.

D004854 Herpesvirus 4, Human The type species of LYMPHOCRYPTOVIRUS, subfamily GAMMAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting B-cells in humans. It is thought to be the causative agent of INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS and is strongly associated with oral hairy leukoplakia (LEUKOPLAKIA, HAIRY;), BURKITT LYMPHOMA; and other malignancies.

D006567 Herpesvirus 2, Saimiriine The type species of RHADINOVIRUS, in the subfamily GAMMAHERPESVIRINAE, isolated from squirrel monkeys. It produces malignant lymphomas (LYMPHOMA, MALIGNANT) in inoculated marmosets or owl monkeys.

D000998 Antiviral Agents Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.
