ABSTRACT
5-Amino-2,5-dideoxy-5-iodouridine, a nel thymidine analogue, is a potent inhibitor of herpes simplex virus type 1 replication. In contrast to most other nucleoside analogues which possess antiviral activity, 5-amino-2,5-dideoxy-5-iodouridine exhibits little, if any, cellular toxicity. Preliminary evidence suggests that 5-amino-2,5-dideoxy-5-iodouridine selectively inhibits viral-specific DNA synthesis.
