Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 33(3), 381-387 (2004-12-24)
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

Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 28(4), 467-474 (2000-03-22)
The fatal drug-drug interaction between sorivudine, an antiviral drug, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been shown to be caused by a mechanism-based inhibition. In this interaction, sorivudine is converted by gut flora to (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)uracil (BVU), which is metabolically activated by dihydropyrimidine

Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, 61(5), 563-573 (1997-05-01)
Bromovinyl-uracil (BVU) is the principal metabolite of sorivudine, a potent anti-zoster nucleoside. BVU binds to, and irreversibly inhibits, the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). The objective of this study was to assess the time course of recovery of DPD activity after

(Z)-5-(2-Bromovinyl)uracil was obtained by photoisomerization of the E. isomer. Similarly, (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine gave the required Z isomer. (Z)-5-(2-Bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine is much less active against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and somewhat less active against herpes simplex virus type 2 than is
