Descripción

2-Deoxy-5-vinyluridine (5-VUdR) is a chemical compound that has been shown to cause a mutation in the DNA of herpes simplex virus. The compound is then incorporated into the viral DNA and replicated with each new cell division, leading to mutations in the sequence of its genome. This mutation can either be lethal or nonlethal, depending on how it affects the function of the virus. 5-VUdR has also been shown to affect cancer cells by inhibiting their growth and causing them to undergo apoptosis. This chemical compound also has an effect on animals and humans, as it alters body mass index and causes weight loss. It does this by preventing replication of DNA in cells that produce insulin, which leads to low insulin levels and decreased appetite.END>
