Description

Fiacitabine, also known as FIAC, is a pyrimidine nucleoside, which had been in phase II clinical trilas for the treatment Cytomegalovirus infections and Herpes simplex virus infections. However, these researches have been discontinued. It was also shown the inhibitor activity of FIAC against the DNA polymerase of hepadnaviruses.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
immunosuppressed patients with herpesvirus infection: fiacitabine (FIAC) was administrated to 32 host compromised patients, 30 with advanced cancer, who were experiencing acute herpesvirus infections (varicella zoster, 29; HSV-1, 2; HSV-2, 1); the drug was given by 20 min i.v. infusion twice a day for 7 days. The dosage levels explored were 60, 120, 240, 400, and 600 mg/sq m/day.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
2-Fluoro-5-iodo-ara-C (FIAC/Fiacitabine) was tested for antiviral activity against several strains of herpes simplex virus (HSV), types 1 and 2. Effective dose-50% (ED-50) determinations for FIAC ranged from 0.023 to 0.51 muM for HSV-2. FIAC-treated cells did not exhibit any toxicity until the drug concentration was increased 2000-fold above the ED-50 level.
