Edoxudine

Edoxudine is a thymidine nucleoside analog with antiviral properties. As a nucleoside analog, this molecule inhibits viral DNA synthesis by competitively inhibiting the activity of viral DNA polymerase, thereby suppressing viral replication and proliferation. Studies have shown that Edoxudine can exert inhibitory effects against herpes simplex virus (HSV) in in vitro experimental models. Based on the above mechanistic features, Edoxudine is commonly used in biomedical research fields such as analysis of viral replication mechanisms, studies of viral infection models, and investigations into the mechanisms of action of antiviral drugs.
