Abstract
AIU (5-iodo-5''-amino-2'',5''-dideoxyuridine, AIdUrd) was shown to be as effective as IdUrd [idoxuridine] in the treatment of experimental herpes simplex keratitis in rabbits. AIU''s striking lack of cellular or systemic toxicity or teratogenicity and its specific inhibition of viral metabolism are discussed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
