(E)-5-(2-Bromovinyl)uracil is a metabolite of sorivudine (SRV) produced by human gut flora. (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)uracil has been used in a study on the catabolism and antitumor activity of 5-fluorouracil. (E)-5-(2-Bromovinyl)uracil (BVU) also exhibited a marked activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in vitro suggesting that (E)-5-(2-Bromovinyl)uracil is metabolically converted to BVDU or a phosphorylated product thereof. In vivo, (E)-5-(2-Bromovinyl)uracil protected mice against a lethal disseminated HSV-1 infection.
