5-Propyl-2'-deoxyuridine: a specific anti-herpes agent

E De Clercq et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1978 Mar.

Abstract

In both primary rabbit kidney cells and human skin fibroblasts, 5-propyl-2'-deoxyuridine proved inhibitory to herpes simplex virus at a concentration as low as 1 micrograms/ml, whereas concentrations higher than 200 micrograms/ml were required to inhibit vaccinia virus replication or normal cell metabolism.
