General description

Fialuridine (1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-d-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodouracil, or FIAU) is an antiviral agent. It is a thymidine-based nucleoside analogue.

Application

Fialuridine has been used in the selection of clones.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fialuridine (1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-d-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodouracil, or FIAU) and its metabolites blocks DNA polymerase at sites of multiple adjacent analog incorporation, reduces the presence of mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) and results in mitochondrial structural defects in cultured hepatoblasts. It is considered as an efficient drug against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Fialuridine is a nucleoside analog antiviral agent. The compound displays significant mitochondrial toxicity.
