Product Background

This comprehensive research profile examines the scientific literature surrounding (-)-C-IDU.

Key Research Findings

  • Our discovery that Herpes virus thymidine kinase and cellular deoxycytidine kinase lack enantioselectivity, being able to phosphorylate both D- and L-enantiomers of the substrate,
  • These estimates suggest that HCV prevalence in NYC is higher than previously indicated from household surveys
  • The inhibition of HSV-1 TK by BVDU, IDU, -C-BVDU, and -C-IDU was purely competitive with regard to the natural substrate , whereas -C-BVDU, -C-IDU, -C-BVDU, and C-IDU showed a line

Synthetic Chemistry

1. A Bayesian Evidence Synthesis Approach to Estimate Disease Prevalence in Hard-To-Reach Populations: Hepatitis C in New York City
Sarah Tan, Susanna Makela, Daliah Heller, Kevin Konty, Sharon Balter; arXiv preprint
Existing methods to estimate the prevalence of chronic hepatitis C (HCV) in New York City (NYC) are limited in scope and fail to assess hard-to-reach subpopulations with highest risk such as injecting drug users (IDUs). To address these limitations, we employ a Bayesian multi-parameter evidence synthesis model to systematically combine multiple sou

3. Carbocyclic 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (C-IDU) and carbocyclic (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (C-BVDU) as unique examples of chiral molecules where the two enantiomeric forms are biologically active
Balzarini J, De Clercq E, Baumgartner H, Bodenteich M, Griengl H; Molecular pharmacology
The (+)- and (-)-enantiomers of the carbocyclic analogues of (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (C-BVDU) and 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (C-IDU) were synthesized by separate routes. Both the (+)- and (-)-enantiomers of C-BVDU and C-IDU were markedly inhibitory to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) replication. (+)-C-BVDU and (+)-C-IDU were as inhibit
4. A Discrete Simulation Optimization Approach Towards Calibration of an Agent-based Simulation Model of Hepatitis C Virus Transmission
Soham Das, Navonil Mustafee, Varun Ramamohan; arXiv preprint
This study demonstrates the implementation of the stochastic ruler discrete simulation optimization method for calibrating an agent-based model (ABM) developed to simulate hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission. The ABM simulates HCV transmission between agents interacting in multiple environments relevant for HCV transmission in the Indian context.

6. Relaxed enantioselectivity of human mitochondrial thymidine kinase and chemotherapeutic uses of L-nucleoside analogues.
Verri A, Priori G, Spadari S, Tondelli L, Focher F; The Biochemical journal
Our discovery that Herpes virus thymidine kinase (TK) and cellular deoxycytidine kinase lack enantioselectivity, being able to phosphorylate both D- and L-enantiomers of the substrate, suggested the use of unnatural L-nucleoside analogues as antiviral drugs (Herpes, hepatitis and immunodeficiency viruses). Several L-nucleoside analogues have displa

7. Implementing an information-theoretically secure Byzantine agreement with quantum signed message solution
Yao Zhou, Feng - Yu Lu, Zhen - Qiang Yin, Shuang Wang, Wei Chen; arXiv preprint
Byzantine agreement (BA) enables all honest nodes in a decentralized network to reach consensus. In the era of emerging quantum technologies, classical cryptography-based BA protocols face inherent security vulnerabilities. By leveraging the information-theoretic security of keys generated by quantum processing, such as quantum key distribution (QK
