Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), the first enzyme in the sequential metabolism of pyrimidine, regulates blood concentrations of 5-fluorouracil and is deeply involved in its toxicity. This study was designed to examine the effects of a DPD inhibitor on blood concentrations of

In 1993, there were 18 acute deaths in Japanese patients who had the viral disease herpes zoster and were treated with the new antiviral drug sorivudine (SRV, 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-(E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)uracil). All the dead patients had received a 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) prodrug as anticancer
Bromovinyldeoxyuridine (BVDU) is a highly potent and selective antiherpetic agent which offers great potential for the treatment of severe herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infections in cancer patients. BVDU inhibits the replication of HSV-1 and

1-beta-D-Arabinofuranosyl-E-5-(2-bromovinyl)uracil (BV-araU) and E-5-(2-bromovinyl)uracil, a metabolite of BV-araU, did not affect either the anti-human immunodeficiency virus activity or the cytotoxicity of azidothymidine in MT-4 and MOLT-4 cells. Similarly, the bromovinyl compounds did not affect the in vitro antitumor activities of
