| Bioactivity | L-I-OddU, a L-5'-halo- dioxolane nucleoside analogue, is a potent and selective anti-Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) agent with an EC50 value of 0.03μM. L-I-OddU has low cytotoxicity with a CC50 value of 1000 nM. L-I-OddU has antiviral activity by suppressing replicative EBV DNA and viral protein synthesis[1][2]. |
| Invitro | L-I-OddU (1 μM; H1 cells) inhibits Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) replication and decreases the linear form of EBV DNA[1].L-I-OddU (0.25-2 μM; 24 h; H1 and L5 cells) has a major metabolite is L-I-OddUMP and increases the amount of the mono- and diphosphate metabolites formed in H1 cells in a dose-dependent manner[1]. |
