Fiacitabine(also known as NSC 382097; DRG-0077) is a novel, potent and selective inhibitior of DNA replication of herpes simplex virus(HSV) with IC50 values of 2.5 nM and 12.6 nM for HSV1 and HSV2, respectively. Fiacitabine is a pyrimidine nucleoside analog reported to elicit potent anti-VZV activity both in vitro and in vivo. Fiacitabine has potent antiviral activity in vivo against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 and cytomegalovirus. Fiacitabine is therapeutically superior to ara-A for the treatment of varicella-zoster virus infections in immunosuppressed subjects.
| Targets |
Fiacitabine (FIAC) inhibits herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), type 2 (HSV-2), and herpes zoster virus (HZV) replication. Its antiviral selectivity is attributed to preferential phosphorylation by the virus-specified thymidine (or pyrimidine nucleoside) kinase, rather than cellular enzymes. [2]

| ln Vitro |
Fiacitabine (FIAC) suppressed replication of four strains of HSV-1 (Patton, HFEM, MacIntyre, 2931) and two strains of HSV-2 (333, G) by 90% at concentrations ranging from 0.0025 to 0.0126 µM in Vero cell monolayers. [2]
Compared to other antiviral drugs against HSV-1 (strain 2931), the 90% effective dose (ED₉₀) for FIAC was substantially lower: acycloguanosine was 0.6 times, arabinosylcytosine was 14.1 times, 5-iododeoxyuridine was 421 times, and arabinosyladenine was 5,263 times higher than the ED₉₀ for FIAC. [2] FIAC inhibited plaque formation of the Ellen strain of HZV in WI-38 cells by 50% at a concentration of 0.01 µM. [2] A thymidine kinase-deficient mutant strain of HSV-1 was about 8,000-fold less susceptible to FIAC (ED₉₀: 78 µM) compared to the wild-type (thymidine kinase-positive) virus, indicating the importance of the viral kinase for its activity. [2] The anti-HSV-1 activity of FIAC was not reversed by equimolar or 10-fold excess concentrations of deoxycytidine. However, high concentrations of thymidine (10-fold excess) partially reversed the antiviral activity (33% reversal at 1 µM FIAC; 19% reversal at 10 µM FIAC). [2] The minimal cytotoxicity of FIAC on normal uninfected cells (WI-38) was completely reversed by the presence of an equimolar concentration of deoxycytidine (e.g., toxicity of 100 µM FIAC reduced from 98% inhibition to 7% inhibition). [2] |
| Enzyme Assay |
Standard DNA polymerase activity assay: The activity of purified DNA polymerases (HSV-1, HSV-2, EBV, human α and β) was assayed in a 50 µl reaction mixture containing Tris-HCl buffer (pH specific to each enzyme), dithiothreitol, MgCl₂, dATP, dTTP, dGTP, [³H]dCTP as the labeled precursor, activated calf thymus DNA template, bovine serum albumin, glycerol, and enzyme. Incubation was at 37°C for 30 min. The reaction was stopped, and acid-insoluble radioactivity was collected on nitrocellulose filters, washed with trichloroacetic acid and ethanol, dried, and counted in a liquid scintillation counter. [1]
Kinetics of competitive inhibition: To determine the mode of inhibition and calculate KI values, assays were performed with activated DNA template and [³H]dCTP as the rate-limiting substrate in the presence of increasing concentrations of the inhibitor FIACTP. The data were analyzed using Lineweaver-Burk plots. [1] Alternate substrate assay: To test if FIACTP could be incorporated into DNA, the standard assay was modified by omitting dCTP from the reaction mixture and adding varying concentrations of FIACTP (or araCTP as a control). [³H]dGTP was used as the labeled precursor to monitor DNA synthesis. [1] |
| Cell Assay |
Virus replication inhibition assay: Vero cell monolayers in multi-well plates were inoculated with virus (1 PFU/cell). After a 2-hour absorption period, maintenance medium containing various concentrations of FIAC was added. After 18-20 hours, supernatant was collected, centrifuged, and stored at -70°C. Virus titers were later quantified on fresh Vero cell monolayers in microwell plates. [2]
Plaque reduction assay: Monolayers of susceptible cells were inoculated with 10-20 PFU/well. After virus adsorption, the inoculum was washed off, and the cells were overlaid with maintenance medium containing 1% methylcellulose and various concentrations of FIAC. After plaque development, plaques were counted, and the drug concentration required for 50% plaque reduction was calculated. [2] Cellular cytotoxicity assay: Uninfected adherent cells (WI-38, Vero) were plated at 5 x 10⁴ cells/mL/well, and suspension cells (NC-37 lymphoblastoid line) at 4 x 10⁴ cells/mL/well. FIAC was added at final concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 µM. After 4 days of culture, adherent cells were harvested using trypsin, and all cell types were mixed with trypan blue dye. Viable cells were counted using a hemacytometer. The concentration causing 50% inhibition of cell replication (ID₅₀) was determined. [2] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Cytotoxicity: In a 4-day study, fiositabine (FIAC) showed very low cytotoxicity to uninfected normal cell lines. The 50% inhibitory dose (ID₅₀) was 5 µM for Vero cells, 4 µM for WI-38 human fibroblasts, and 10 µM for NC-37 human lymphoblasts. [2]

| Additional Infomation |
Ficitabine has been used in clinical trials to study the treatment of HIV infection and cytomegalovirus infection. Ficitabine is a pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is active against a variety of herpesviruses. Ficitabine is converted to a triphosphate form in vivo and inhibits viral DNA polymerase. Ficitabine (FIAC) is a pyrimidine nucleoside analog, specifically a 5-substituted 1-(2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-β-D-arabinofuranyl)cytosine. [2] It is a potent and selective antiherpesvirus drug effective against HSV-1, HSV-2, and HZV. [2] Its selectivity is thought to be due to the preferential phosphorylation of virus-specific thymidine/pyrimidine nucleoside kinases in infected cells, resulting in selective activation and antiviral activity. [2] FIAC hydrochloride is highly soluble in water (>150 mg/mL). [2]
The extremely low cytotoxicity observed in normal cells can be reversed by deoxycytidine, suggesting a potential strategy for controlling in vivo toxicity without affecting antiviral efficacy. [2] |
