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

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
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
Simultaneous high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for 5-(2-bromo-E-ethenyl)-2'-deoxyuridine and its metabolite, 5-(2-bromo-E-ethenyl)uracil, in plasma.

Rats were orally co-administered sorivudine (SRV: 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-(E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)uracil), a new oral antiviral drug for herpes zoster, with the oral anticancer drug tegafur (FT: 1-(2-tetrahydrofuryl)-5-fluorouracil) as a prodrug of 5-flourouracil (5-FU) once daily to investigate a toxicokinetic mechanism of 15 Japanese patients'
