(E)-5-(2-Bromovinyl)isodideoxyuridine (BVisoDDU), synthesized on the basis of molecular modeling, is selectively active against HSV-1 (three different strains) but inactive against HSV-2. Unlike BVDU, BVisoDDU is completely resistant to cleavage by thymidine phosphorylase. BVisoDDU is also the first nucleoside analogue lacking OH groups at both the 2′- and 3′-position that shows pronounced activity against HSV-1 replication.
Novel isomeric dideoxynucleosides as potential antiviral agents
Bolon, Pascal J.,Sells, Todd B.,Nuesca, Zoraida M.,Purdy, David F.,Nair, Vasu

Novel isomeric dideoxynucleosides with S,S absolute stereochemistry and involving the transposition of the base moiety from the normal 1'- to the 2'-position have been regiospecifically and stereospecifically synthesized. The synthetic approaches involved
