Product Description
Sorivudine (BV-araU; Bravavir; ARYS-01; SQ-32756; BVAU; JA-001; YN-72; DRU-0136) is a novel and potent DNA polymerase inhibitor with the potential to be used for the treatment of herpes zoster (shingles). It is an oral bioactive synthetic pyrimidine nucleoside antimetabolite medication that has antiviral activity due to its ability to selectively convert pyrimidine nucleosides to nucleotides, which can obstruct the synthesis of viral DNA when they are converted by a particular thymidine kinase found in some DNA viruses. One medication that shows promise in treating varicella-zoster virus infection is sorivudine.
Sorivudine is an orally-active antiviral nucleoside analog with potent and selective activity against herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It is a nucleic acid synthesis inhibitor that belongs to the family of drugs that inhibit viral DNA synthesis. Its clinical use has been limited due to drug-drug interactions and potential toxicity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)

In vitro, Sorivudine has potent and selective activity against herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Its antiviral activity is assessed using plaque reduction assays or other cell-based antiviral assays in virus-infected cell cultures, where it reduces viral titers in a concentration-dependent manner.
In vivo, Sorivudine is an orally active antiviral agent that has been studied as a treatment for herpesvirus infections. However, its clinical use has been limited due to severe drug-drug interactions (e.g., with 5-fluorouracil) and potential toxicity. It is not widely used clinically and is primarily a research tool.
Targets
Sorivudine inhibits viral DNA synthesis by acting as a nucleoside analog. It is phosphorylated to its active triphosphate form, which is incorporated into the viral DNA chain during replication, leading to chain termination and inhibition of viral polymerase. Its selective activity against HSV-1 and VZV is due to its higher affinity for the viral thymidine kinase compared to the cellular enzyme.
ln Vitro
Sorivudine (BV-araU) inhibits the wild-type strains VR-3 and UW-268 of HSV-1 and HSV-2, with ID50s (50 percent inhibitory dose) of 0.39 and 0.67 μM, respectively[1].
Sorivudine exhibits antiviral activity against multiple viruses, such as the Epstein-Barr virus, varicella zoster virus, and herpes simplex type 1 virus[1].
Sorivudine (BV-araU) is an analog of pyrimidine nucleoside that, at concentrations of 00001-0.004 mg/ml, exhibits in vitro inhibitory activity against varicella zoster virus (VZV). These concentrations are more than a thousand times lower than what acyclovir 3 needs to inhibit VZV replication. In addition, sorivudine prevents HSV-I replication at concentrations between 0.03-0.1 mg/ml[2].
ln Vivo
Sorivudine (BV-araU) has been tested for use in treating HSV-l encephalitis in mice when given orally. Treatment prolongs the survival of mice at dosages above 12.5 mg/kg. The mortality rate significantly decreased as we1l with doses greater than 50 mg/kg. The model of simian varicella virus infection in African green monkeys (Cerophithecus aethiops) is a more pertinent one. In this system, sorivudine therapy offered complete protection against viremia and mortality at dosages as low as 20 mg/kg per day administered intramuscularly or 100 mg/kg per day administered orally. There was no indication of neurotoxicity or aberrant hematological or clinical chemistries during the course of these investigations. Effective doses were as low as 0.2 mg/kg daily; however, at lower dosages, breakthrough viremia was observed[2].
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for Sorivudine typically measure the inhibition of viral DNA polymerase. The compound's active form (the triphosphate) is tested against the purified viral enzyme to determine its potency (IC50). Alternatively, the compound's ability to inhibit viral replication in cell culture is assessed using standard antiviral susceptibility tests.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for Sorivudine involve treating virus-infected cell cultures (e.g., Vero cells infected with HSV-1 or VZV) with the compound and measuring viral replication. The reduction in viral titer or the expression of viral proteins (e.g., by immunofluorescence) is quantified to determine the compound's antiviral activity and selectivity index.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal models for Sorivudine include models of herpesvirus infection, such as HSV-1 or VZV infection in mice or guinea pigs. The compound is administered orally, and its effects on viral replication, lesion formation (e.g., skin lesions), and survival are assessed. Pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies are also conducted in these models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Sorivudine has a molecular formula of C11H13BrN2O6 and a molecular weight of 349.13 g/mol. Its chemical name is 5-[(E)-2-Bromovinyl]-1-[(2R,3S,4S,5R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(Hydroxymethyl)Tetrahydrofuran-2-Yl]Pyrimidine-2,4-Dione. It is an orally active antiviral nucleoside analog and should be stored as a powder at -20°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Sorivudine is an antiviral nucleoside analog with a well-characterized mechanism of action. Potential toxicity includes bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal disturbances. It has been associated with severe and sometimes fatal drug-drug interactions when co-administered with certain drugs (e.g., 5-fluorouracil). It is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use.

Additional Infomation
Sorivudine is an organic molecular entity. Sorivudine was used in clinical trials to study the treatment of varicella and HIV infection. Sorivudine is a synthetic thymidine analog with potent antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus. Sorivudine is phosphorylated intracellularly to a triphosphate form; this metabolite interferes with viral DNA replication by inhibiting DNA polymerase activity without being incorporated into the elongating viral DNA. Due to the risk of interactions between its metabolites and other drugs, solivudine has been withdrawn from the market.
Sorivudine is an orally-active antiviral nucleoside analog with activity against HSV-1 and VZV. It inhibits viral DNA synthesis. The compound is for research use only and is not approved for human therapeutic use due to safety and drug interaction concerns.
