Abstract: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) establishes lifelong infection after primary disease and can reactivate. Several drugs are approved to treat VZV diseases, but new antivirals with greater potency are needed. Previously, we identified β-l-5-((E)-2-bromovinyl)-1-((2S,4S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-(dioxolane-4-yl))uracil (l-BHDU, 1),… read more here.
