Product Description
5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine is an inhibitor of HSV, inhibiting the cytopathic effect of HSV-1 in primary rabbit kidney cells with an MIC of 0.2 μg/mL. 5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine inhibits the proliferation of leukemia L1210 cells with an IC50 of 64.5 μg/mL.
5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine (CAS#: 69075-47-4) is a synthetic nucleoside analog that has been studied for its potential in antiviral therapy, particularly against herpes simplex virus (HSV). It is also known as 5-EdC and is a cytidine derivative with an ethynyl group at the 5-position of the nucleobase. The compound inhibits HSV-1 replication and also shows antiproliferative activity against leukemia cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine targets herpes simplex virus (HSV) by inhibiting viral replication. Its primary antiviral target is the HSV-1 KOS strain. Additionally, the compound inhibits the proliferation of leukemia L1210 cells, indicating activity against cellular targets involved in DNA synthesis and cell division.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine inhibits the cytopathic effect of HSV-1 in primary rabbit kidney cells with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.2 μg/mL. It also inhibits the proliferation of leukemia L1210 cells with an IC50 of 64.5 μg/mL. These activities demonstrate its dual antiviral and antiproliferative properties in cell-based systems.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for 5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine are not extensively documented in the available literature. Most reported studies focus on its in vitro antiviral and antiproliferative effects. As a nucleoside analog, it would be expected to require phosphorylation to its active triphosphate form to exert its effects, similar to other nucleoside antiviral agents.
Enzyme Assay
The non-cellular enzyme assay for 5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine typically involves assessing its interaction with viral DNA polymerase or cellular DNA polymerases. The compound, after phosphorylation to its triphosphate form, can be evaluated for its ability to inhibit polymerase activity in cell-free systems using purified enzymes, radiolabeled nucleotides, and template-primer DNA substrates. Inhibition is quantified by measuring the incorporation of labeled nucleotides into nascent DNA strands.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for 5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine involve culturing primary rabbit kidney cells infected with HSV-1. The cytopathic effect is monitored, and the MIC is determined as the lowest concentration that completely inhibits virus-induced cell damage. For antiproliferative activity, leukemia L1210 cells are cultured in growth medium, treated with varying concentrations of the compound, and cell viability is measured after 48-72 hours to determine the IC50 value.
Animal Protocol
Specific in vivo animal study protocols for 5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine are not well documented. Based on its mechanism as a nucleoside analog, potential in vivo studies could involve HSV-infected animal models (e.g., mouse or guinea pig models of HSV infection) to evaluate antiviral efficacy, or tumor-bearing mouse models to assess antitumor activity. Standard routes of administration and dosing regimens would apply.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine are not extensively characterized in the available literature. As a nucleoside analog with a molecular weight of 251.24, it is expected to have moderate aqueous solubility. Like other nucleoside analogs, it may be subject to metabolic degradation by nucleoside phosphorylases and deaminases, and its cellular uptake likely occurs via nucleoside transporters.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine are not extensively reported. The compound is classified for research use only and is not approved for human therapeutic use. Standard safety precautions should be observed during handling. Its antiproliferative activity against L1210 leukemia cells suggests potential cytotoxicity against rapidly dividing cells, which would be a consideration for any therapeutic development.
