Idoxuridine hydrate  (Synonyms: 5-Iodo-2′-deoxyuridine hydrate; 5-IUdR hydrate; IdUrd hydrate)

Cat. No.: HY-B0307A
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Idoxuridine (5-Iodo-2′-deoxyuridine, 5-IUdR, IdUrd) hydrate is an iodinated thymidine analogue that competitively inhibits phosphorylases. Idoxuridine can inhibit viral activity, particularly viral eye infections, including herpes simplex keratitis, by inhibiting DNA polymerase and affecting viral replication. Idoxuridine against feline herpesvirus has the IC50 value of 4.3 μM.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
