Application

5-Iodo-2′-deoxyuridine (5-IUdR; IdUrd) is a pyrimidine analog (halogenated thymidine) that has antiviral activity agains vaccinia virus (orthopoxviruses). IdUrd is used as a radiosensitizer in human cancer studies.
5-Iodo-2′-deoxyuridine has been used in molecular combing assay or DNA fiber assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

5-Iodo-2′-deoxyuridine prevents in vitro DNA viral replication. This is observed in herpesviruses and poxviruses It might possess teratogenic, tumor-promoting, mutagenic, and immunosuppressive properties. 5-Iodo-2′-deoxyuridine, used in topical applications, is effective against epithelial infections.
