Biochem/physiol Actions

5-Ethyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EUdR) is used as a 5-fluorouracil (FU) modulator. EtdUrd may be used to enhance the therapeutic index of 5-FU by reducing the catabolism, prolonging the plasma and intratumoral concentrations of 5-FU, and offering protection to normal organs by increasing the endogenous uridine levels.
5-Ethyl-2′-deoxyuridine is an analog of pyrimidine, uridine. It is an effective antiviral agent and inhibits cell division in leukemic tumor cells. 5-Ethyl-2′-deoxyuridine interacts with 2′-deoxycytidine phosphate (dCTP) biosynthesis pathway to elicit antiproliferative effects.

The radiochemical syntheses of the [4-14C]-(-)-trans-(5S,6S)-5-bromo-5- ethyl-6-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-2'-deoxyuridine [2,(5S,6S)-BMEDU] and (+)-trans-(5R,6R)-5-bromo-5-ethyl-6- methoxy-5,6-dihydro-2'-deoxyuridine [3,(5R,6R)-BMEDU] are reported. These BMEDU diastereomers were synthesized in 21 and 25% radiochemical yield, respectively, by direct addition of methyl hypobromite to the 5,6-olefinic bond of [4-14C]-5-ethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU).
