2'-Fluoro-5-iodo-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (FIAC) is a potent antiviral agent with minimal cytotoxicity. In Vero cells, incorporation of labeled dCyd and dThd into the acid-insoluble DNA fraction was, respectively, competitively and noncompetitively inhibited by FIAC. In herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) infected Vero cells, these inhibition patterns became noncompetitive. The inhibition constants of FIAC on dThd and dCyd incorporation into the acid-insoluble fraction during a 15-min period were greater than 30 microM which were much higher than the antiviral concentration of FIAC (ED90 = 0.003-0.013 microM) for continuous exposure. Incorporation of dUrd into acid-insoluble DNA was inhibited by 10 microM FIAC in HSV-1-infected Vero cells, but not in uninfected cells. The radioactivity of [2-14C]FIAC was incorporated into the acid-insoluble DNA fraction, and this incorporation in uninfected cells was strongly inhibited by 10 microM dCyd but not by dThd. By contrast, the incorporation in HSV-1-infected Vero cells was strongly inhibited by 10 microM dThd but not by dCyd. These data indicate that FIAC behaves metabolically like dThd, dUrd, or 5-iodo-dUrd in HSV-1-infected cells but like dCyd in noninfected cells. Thus, combined use of dCyd and FIAC may reduce cytotoxicity of FIAC or incorporation of FIAC into host cell DNA without affecting its antiviral activity. This finding is of significance since, for practical reasons, incorporation of FIAC into host cell DNA needs to be reduced as much as possible.
