The effect of 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-E-5-(2-bromovinyl)uracil (BV-araU), a new antiviral drug, on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was studied and compared with those of E-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (BVdU) and acyclovir (ACV). BV-araU effectively inhibited EBV replication both in superinfected Raji cells and in virus producer P3HR-1(LS) cells, as determined by density gradient centrifugation, in situ cytohybridization with an EBV DNA probe, and cRNA-DNA hybridization. The 50% effective doses for viral DNA replication were 0.26, 0.06, and 0.3 microM for BV-araU, BVdU, and ACV, respectively. The relative efficacy on the basis of the in vitro therapeutic index was BVdU (6,500) greater than BV-araU (1,500) greater than ACV (850). Synthesis of EBV-induced polypeptides with molecular weights of 145,000 and 140,000 was inhibited by these drugs. Kinetic analysis of reversibility of inhibition of EBV DNA replication after removal of the drugs indicated that BV-araU, like BVdU, has a more prolonged inhibitory effect than ACV. These results indicate that the 2' OH group in the arabinosyl configuration of BV-araU results in marked reduction in anti-EBV activity while slightly diminishing cytotoxicity.
