Description

5-Ethyluracil is a nucleobase that is structurally similar to thymine. It inhibits the replication of human mitochondrial DNA and herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) by binding with the viral nucleic acid. 5-Ethyluracil has been shown to be an effective antiviral agent in clinical trials, where it was found to inhibit the replication of HSV-1 in both HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients. 5-Ethyluracil has also been shown to have an inhibitory effect on mammalian cells and has been used for treatment of certain types of cancer. This drug's low energy makes it useful as a topical analgesic. The glycosidic bond makes this drug water soluble, which allows for its use as an antiseptic or disinfectant. 5-Ethyluracil is metabolized by hydrochloric acid, which produces urate, ammonia, and carbon dioxide.
