摘要: There are currently in the world, and particularly Belgium, many people who owe their good eyesight some cases, even lives, to decision made by Professor Piet De Somer that work being done Prof. Erik Clercq at Rega Institute on antiviral chemotherapy was worth supporting discoveries should be exploited. From this joint research involving chemists United Kingdom, and, more recently, those Institute, together with expertise other areas from several laboratories around has arisen compound BVDU [(E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2′-deoxyuridine] (1), most potent member of an ever-growing family 5-vinylpyrimidine-2′-deoxynucleo-sides which exhibit anti-herpesvirus activity (2).
