5-Methylmercapto-2'-deoxyuridine (MeMUdR), a structural analogue of thymidine (TdR), inhibits herpes simplex virus type 1 production in mouse L (Lb) cells at concentrations that are not inhibitory to viral growth in monkey kidney (CV-1) cells. It is moderately toxic to Lb cells but not to CV-1 cells at a concentration that causes 95% inhibition of viral replication in Lb cells. MeMUdR is incorporated into cellular and viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in both systems, but to a significantly higher level (compared with thymidine) in Lb cells. These results indicate that MeMUdR is a substrate for enzymes leading to DNA synthesis and suggest that the biological function of herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA is impaired only when the incorporation of MeMUdR into the DNA reaches a relatively high level.
5-甲基巯基-2'-脱氧尿苷(MeMUdR)是胸腺嘧啶核苷(TdR)的结构类似物,在不抑制猴肾(CV-1)细胞中病毒生长的浓度下,可抑制小鼠L(Lb)细胞中单纯疱疹病毒1型的产生。在导致Lb细胞中病毒复制95%抑制的浓度下,它对Lb细胞有中度毒性,但对CV-1细胞无毒性。MeMUdR在两个系统中都被掺入细胞和病毒脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)中,但在Lb细胞中的掺入水平(与胸腺嘧啶核苷相比)显著更高。这些结果表明,MeMUdR是导致DNA合成的酶的底物,并表明只有当MeMUdR掺入DNA达到相对较高水平时,单纯疱疹病毒1型DNA的生物学功能才会受损。
