Application
(E)-5-(2-Bromovinyl)-2′-deoxyuridine (BVdU) has been used:
- as a substrate for thymidine kinase 1 to study its effects on cancer cells by a dual-promoter integrator approach
- as a bromovinyl nucleoside analog to study its effects on varicella-zoster virus replication in a mouse model
- as a nucleoside analog prodrug to study its effects on transduced cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
(E)-5-(2-Bromovinyl)-2′-deoxyuridine(BVdU) is a thymidine analog and a well-known inhibitor of Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infections. It shows a minimal effect on HSV-2. BVdU shows therapeutic effects against herpetic keratitis, recurrent herpes labialis, and herpes zoster. BVdU undergoes phosphorylation at its 5’-diphosphate and further to 5’-triphosphate by the virus-encoded thymidine kinase, this results in BVdU acting as a competitive inhibitor to the viral DNA polymerase.

Thymidine kinase 2 (TK2) is a mitochondrial deoxyribonucleoside kinase that phosphorylates several nucleoside analogs used in anti-viral and anti-cancer therapy. A fibroblast cell line with decreased TK2 activity was investigated in order to obtain insights in the effects of TK2

Several reports describe the importance of the chaperone HSP27 (HSPB1) in cancer progression, and the demand for drugs that modulate HSPB1-activity is increasing rapidly. We reported earlier that RP101 (Bromovinyldeoxyuridine, BVDU, Brivudine) improves the efficacy of chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer.

Nucleoside-based antiviral drugs have been synthesized using imidazolium-based ionic liquids as reaction medium. The ionic liquids were proved to be better solvents for all the nucleoside in terms of solubility and reaction medium as compared to conventional molecular solvents.
