General description

Fialuridine (1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-d-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodouracil, or FIAU) is an antiviral agent. It is a thymidine-based nucleoside analogue.

Application

Fialuridine has been used in the selection of clones.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fialuridine is a nucleoside analog antiviral agent.
Fialuridine is a nucleoside analog antiviral agent. The compound displays significant mitochondrial toxicity.
Fialuridine (1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-d-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodouracil, or FIAU) and its metabolites blocks DNA polymerase at sites of multiple adjacent analog incorporation, reduces the presence of mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) and results in mitochondrial structural defects in cultured hepatoblasts. It is considered as an efficient drug against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

We investigated the possibility of using a pharmacologic agent to modulate viral gene expression to target radiotherapy to tumor tissue. In a mouse xenograft model, we had previously shown targeting of [(125)I]2'-fluoro-2'-deoxy-beta-D-5-iodouracil-arabinofuranoside ([(125)I]FIAU) to tumors engineered to express the Epstein-Barr
