• Synonyms: 5,6-Dihydrodeoxyuridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5,6-Dihydro-2'-deoxyuridine (dUrd) is a pyrimidine nucleoside that is an important component of DNA. It is phosphorylated by deoxyribonucleoside kinase to form dUrd monophosphate. This compound has been shown to inhibit the activity of catalase and other enzymes that hydrolyze hydrogen peroxide, indicating it may have antiviral properties. The enzyme activities of 5,6-dihydro-2'-deoxyuridine on simplex virus type 1 have been studied in vitro using lymphoblastoid cells. In these studies, the compounds was found to inhibit viral growth and terminate replication. 5,6-Dihydro-2'-deoxyuridine also inhibits the synthesis of DNA by inhibiting oxidative deamination reactions and termini formation in herpes simplex virus type 1. This drug has also been shown to inhibit amine oxidases in hep
