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[1]
- as a bromovinyl nucleoside analog to study its effects on varicella-zoster virus replication in a mouse model[2]
- as a nucleoside analog prodrug to study its effects on transduced cells[3]
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.[4] 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.[5]

A 66-year-old woman with metastatic mammary carcinoma, who was being treated with capecitabine, contracted a herpes zoster infection that was treated with the antiviral drug brivudin. A drug-drug interaction between brivudin and capecitabine caused medullar aplasia, serious toxic effects to

Unlike most DNA viruses, poxviruses replicate in the cytoplasm of host cells. They encode enzymes needed for genome replication and transcription, including their own thymidine and thymidylate kinases. Some herpes viruses encode only 1 enzyme catalyzing both reactions, a peculiarity
