Abstract excerpt
5-(2-chloroethyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (CEDU) is a pyrimidine nucleoside analogue formerly in development for the treatment of herpes simplex virus infections. The compound proved clearly mutagenic in the mouse spot test and exhibited weak activity in the Salmonella reverse mutation test, which led to the termination of the compound's development. In another study, CEDU, administered orally to beta-galactosidase...
