IdoxuridineThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Idoxuridine but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Idoxuridine (when available) In chemical structure idoxuridine closely approximates the configuration of thymidine, one of the four building blocks of DNA (the genetic material of the Herpes virus). As a result, idoxuridine is able to replace thymidine in the enzymatic step of viral replication or "growth". The consequent production of faulty DNA results in a pseudostructure which cannot infect or destroy tissue. In short, by pre-empting a vital building block in the genetic material of the Herpes simplex virus, Herplex-D topical solution destroys the infective and destructive capacity of the viral material. The virus infected cell may only be attacked during the period of active synthesis of DNA. This occurs early in the development of the Herpes simplex lesion, but at different times in different cells. Therefore, ideally, the affected area should remain saturated with the antiviral agent. For use in keratoconjunctivitis and keratitis caused by herpes simplex virus Mechanism Of Action: Idoxuridine acts as an antiviral agent against DNA viruses by inhibiting thymidilate phosphorylase and viral DNA polymerases. The effect of Idoxuridine results in the inability of the virus to reproduce or to infect/destroy tissue.
