MSH: An analog of DEOXYURIDINE that inhibits viral DNA synthesis. The drug is used as an antiviral agent.,CSP: pyrimidine analog which inhibits viral DNA synthesis.,NCI: A drug that reduces the risk of cancer cell growth by interfering with the cells' DNA.,PDQ: An iodinated analogue of deoxyuridine. Idoxuridine incorporates into DNA during the S-phase of the cell cycle, sensitizing cells to ionizing radiation by increasing DNA strand breaks. When this agent contains a radioactive isomer of iodine, the radioactive idoxuridine kills cancer cells directly after preferential incorporation into the DNA of rapidly dividing tumor cells.
