Valnivudine

[Synonym ]:
FV-100 free base
{(2R,3S,5R)-3-Hydroxy-5-[2-oxo-6-(4-pentylphenyl)furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-3(2H)-yl]tetrahydro-2-furanyl}methyl (2S)-2-amino-3-methylbutanoate

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Valnivudine (FV-100 free base), a prodrug of CF-1743, is an orally active anti-herpes zoster (HZ) nucleoside analogue. CF-1743, a bicyclic nucleoside analog (BCNA), has highly specific antiviral activity against varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Valnivudine is rapidly and extensively converted to CF-1743 in vivo[1][2].

[In Vitro]

In vitro cytotoxicity studies in normal human primary hepatocytes, keratinocytes, and rapidly dividing HepG2 cells, Valnivudine (FV-100 free base) demonstrates mean 50% cytotoxic concentration values of >10 μM[2]. CF-1743 (compound 4f) has anti-varicella-zoster virus (VZV) activity in VZV OKA (EC50=0.3 nM), VZV YS (EC50=0.1 nM) in HEL cell[3].
