Biological activities

Vidarabine is a purine nucleotide analog that inhibits viral DNA synthesis. The IC50 of vidarabine against herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1, HSV-2, phosphonoacetic acid (PAA)-resistant HSV-1 and thymidine kinase (TK)-deficient HSV-1 is 9.3, 11.3, 21.1 and 14.1 µM, respectively.[1] Vidarabine is an antiviral drug with activity against herpes viruses, poxviruses, and certain rhabdoviruses, hepadnarviruses, and RNA tumor viruses. Vidarabine exhibits good activity in cell culture against two small pox related viruses (vaccinia and cowpox) with EC50 of 6.2 and 12.6 µM, respectively. [2] Vidarabine is a synthetic purine nucleoside with antiviral activity against a broad group of DNA-containing viruses and some RNA tumour viruses. [3] Vidarabine dose-dependently inhibits viral replication as assessed by a yield reduction assay. [4] Vidarabine is also active against vaccinia virus in vivo. [2]

Protocols

Vidarabine is dissolved at 10 mg/mL in DMSO. [4]
