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.

Precise discrimination between similar cellular states is essential for autonomous decision-making scenarios, such as in vivo targeting of diseased cells. Discrimination could be achieved by delivering an effector gene expressed under a highly active context-specific promoter. Yet, a single-promoter approach

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.

Antiviral-resistant herpesvirus infection has become a great concern for immunocompromised patients. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infections are treated with viral thymidine kinase (vTK)-associated drugs such as acyclovir (ACV), and most ACV-resistance (ACV(r)) is due to mutations in the

Herpes simplex virus, type 1 (HSV-1) commonly produces lytic mucosal lesions. It invariably initiates latent infection in sensory ganglia enabling persistent, lifelong infection. Acute HSV-1 encephalitis is rare and definitive evidence of latent infection in the brain is lacking. However
