A number of novel 5-substituted 2'deoxypyrimidine nucleosides exhibited antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 strain V3 (HSV-1-V3) when assayed under one-step conditions in primary human lung fibroblast j(PHLF) cell cultures, and compared with the reference compounds cytosine arabinoside (ara-C), 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR), and 5-iodo-5'amino-2',5'-dideoxyuridine (AIU). The most effective of these were (in order of decreasing activity): (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-UdR (BrVUdR) greater than ara-C greater than IUdR greater than 5-azidomethyl-UdR (AMeUdR) greater than 5-formyl-UdR (fUdR) greater than 5-hydroxymethyl-UdR (HMeUdR) greater than AIU greater than 5-mercaptomethyl-UdR (MMeUdR) = 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxy-cytidine (HMeCdR) greater than 5-benzyloxymethyl-UdR (BOMeUdR). In a multistep virus replication experiment (plaque reduction assay on Vero cells) the order of decreasing activity was as follows: BrVUdR = ara-C greater than HMeUdR greater than fUdR IUdR greater than HMeCdR greater than BOMeUdR greater than AMeUdR greater than AIU greater than MMeUdR. BrVUdR effected a 50% reduction in plaque formation of different strains of HSV-1 at a concentration of 0.06-0.22 microM, of pseudorabies virus (PRV) at 0.02-0.23 microM, and of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) at 8 microM, whereas the ID50 values for adenovirus type 2 and type 5 were 100 and 50-100 microM, respectively. The growth of synchronied baby hamster kidney cells in suspension cultures was inhibited by 50% at concentrations of 100, 70, 20, 4, 8, and 0.2 microM for BrVUdR, HMeCdR, IUdR, fUdR, BOMeUdR, and HMeUdR, respectively.
