A series of 5-substituted 2'-deoxy-4'-thiopyrimidine nucleosides was synthesized and evaluated as potential antiviral agents. A number of analogues such as 2'-deoxy-5-propyl-4'-thiouridine (3ii), 2'-deoxy-5-isopropyl-4'-thiouridine (3iii), 5-cyclopropyl-2'-deoxy-4'-thiouridine (3iv), 2'-deoxy-4'-thio-5-vinyluridine (3viii), and 5-(2-chloroethyl)-2'-deoxy-4'-thiouridine (3xx) were found to be highly active against herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) and varicella zoster virus (VZV) in vitro with no significant cytotoxicity. The compound with the broadest spectrum of activity was 2'-deoxy-5-ethyl-4'-thiouridine (3i) which showed significant activity against HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010948 Viral Plaque Assay Method for measuring viral infectivity and multiplication in CULTURED CELLS. Clear lysed areas or plaques develop as the VIRAL PARTICLES are released from the infected cells during incubation. With some VIRUSES, the cells are killed by a cytopathic effect; with others, the infected cells are not killed but can be detected by their hemadsorptive ability. Sometimes the plaque cells contain VIRAL ANTIGENS which can be measured by IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE.
