A nucleoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces antibioticus. It has some antineoplastic properties and has broad spectrum activity against DNA viruses in cell cultures and significant antiviral activity against infections caused by a variety of viruses such as the herpes viruses, the VACCINIA VIRUS and varicella zoster virus
National Library of Medicine - Medical Subject Headings (2007)
Vidarabine has been shown to possess antiviral activity against the following viruses in vitro: Herpes simplex types 1 and 2; vaccinia, varicella-zoster. Except for rhabdovirus and oncornavirus, vidarabine does not display in vitro antiviral activity against other RNA or DNA viruses, including adenovirus.

/EXPTL THER/ When adenovirus causes hemorrhagic cystitis in immunocompromised patients, vidarabine is used for its treatment because therapeutic choice is limited. Although vidarabine has been reported to be effective for these patients, its therapeutic basis has not yet been established. Vidarabine dose-dependently inhibited viral replication as assessed by a yield reduction assay. Viral protein synthesis was dose-dependently inhibited by vidarabine but not at all by acyclovir, and the degree of inhibition by vidarabine was different for each of the viral proteins, ranging from 0-40% of the untreated control. These results indicated the specificity and mechanism of action of vidarabine against adenovirus. The concentration of vidarabine and its metabolite in the bladder is suggested to exhibit effective anti-adenoviral activity in suppressing the replication of adenovirus. Thus, /the authors conclude that their/ results support vidarabine therapy as a possible candidate for adenovirus-induced hemorrhagic cystitis in immunocompromised patients.

/EXPTL THER/ In the present study, effectiveness of topical vidarabine or subsequent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) administration was examined against persistent genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection after local surgery. Thirty patients underwent local eradication treatment of uterine cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) and stage Ia1 uterine cervical cancers. HPV typing was performed by PCR-RFLP analysis. HPV infection was detected pre-operatively in 29 of 30 patients. Of these, HPV was still present in the 20 patients within two months after the therapy. Topical administration of vidarabine or subsequent 5-FU once a week for four weeks was performed to the post-operative persistent HPV-positive cases. HPV infection was abolished in 1 of 10 (10%) with topical vidarabine, and in 2 of 4 vidarabine-resistant cases (50%) with topical 5-FU. Topical vidarabine or 5-FU treatment is beneficial for HPV-positive cases after local surgical excision.

Concurrent topical application of vidarabine and a corticosteroid is contraindicated in superficial herpes simplex keratitis. Although concomitant application of vidarabine and a corticosteroid may be of benefit in severe infections, corticosteroids should be used with caution and the patient must be observed closely because of the risk of accelerating the spread of the infection. If a topical corticosteroid is administered concurrently with vidarabine, the possibility of corticosteroid induced adverse ocular effects, including increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, and cataract formation, must be considered.

For treatment of chickenpox - varicella, herpes zoster and herpes simplex
Vidarabine is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue with in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activity against herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1), 2 (HSV-2), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The inhibitory activity of Vidarabine is highly selective due to its affinity for the enzyme thymidine kinase (TK) encoded by HSV and VZV. This viral enzyme converts Vidarabine into Vidarabine monophosphate, a nucleotide analogue. The monophosphate is further converted into diphosphate by cellular guanylate kinase and into triphosphate by a number of cellular enzymes. In vitro, Vidarabine triphosphate stops the DNA replication of herpes virus by being incorporated into the DNA strand and preventing the formation of phosphodiester bridges between bases. This ultimately leads to destabilization of the viral DNA strands.

Drugs that are chemically similar to naturally occurring metabolites, but differ enough to interfere with normal metabolic pathways. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p2033) (See all compounds classified as Antimetabolites.)
Antiviral Agents
Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.

Absorption
Systemetic absorption of vidarabine should not be expected to occur following ocular administration and swallowing lacrimal secretions.
Vira-A is rapidly deaminated to arabinosylhypoxanthine (Ara-Hx), the principal metabolite. ...Because of the low solubility of Vira-A, trace amounts of both Vira-A and Ara-Hx can be detected in the aqueous humor only if there is an epithelial defect in the cornea. If the cornea is normal, only trace amounts of Ara-Hx can be recovered from the aqueous humor. Systemic absorption of Vira-A should not be expected to occur following ocular administration and swallowing lacrimal secretions.

Vidarabine is poorly absorbed following oral, im, or SC administration. Following iv administration of vidarabine, 75-87% of the dose is rapidly deaminated by adenosine deaminase to ara-hypoxanthine. Ara-hypoxanthine also possesses antiviral activity but substantially less than that of vidarabine. Following slow iv administration of vidarabine 10 mg/kg in adults, peak plasma concentrations of the drug range from 0.2-0.4 ug/mL and peak plasma concentrations of ara-hypoxanthine range from 3-6 ug/mL. Plasma concentrations of vidarabine and ara-hypoxanthine are higher and more prolonged in patients with renal impairment.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service - Drug Information 93. Bethesda, MD: American Society of Hospital Pharmacists, Inc., 1993 (Plus Supplements, 1993)., p. 404
Vidarabine and ara-hypoxanthine are widely distributed into body tissues and fluids and readily cross the blood-brain barrier. In patients with normal meninges, ara-hypoxanthine concentrations in the CSF are about 33-35% of concurrent plasma concentrations. Vidarabine crosses the placenta in animals. It is not known if vidarabine is distributed into milk. ... Vidarabine is 20-30% bound and ara-hypoxanthine is 0-3% bound to plasma proteins.

Vidarabine and ara-hypoxanthine are excreted mainly by the kidneys. Within 24 hours following iv administration of vidarabine 15 mg/kg in patients with normal renal function, 1-3% of the dose is excreted in urine as vidarabine and 41-53% of the dose is excreted as ara-hypoxanthine. There is no evidence of fecal excretion of the drug or metabolite.

Vidarabine stops replication of herpes viral DNA in 2 ways: 1) competitive inhibition of viral DNA polymerase, and consequently 2) incorporation into and termination of the growing viral DNA chain. Vidarabine is sequentially phosphorylated by kinases to the triphosphate ara-ATP, which is the active form of vidarabine that acts as both an inhibitor and a substrate of viral DNA polymerase. By acting as a substrate for viral DNA polymerase, ara-ATP competitively inhibits dATP leading to the formation of faulty DNA. Ara-ATP can also be incorporated into the DNA strand to replace many of the adenosine bases, resulting in the disruption of DNA synthesis.
The antiviral mechanism of action has not been established. Vidarabine appears to interfere with the early steps of viral DNA synthesis.

The antiviral mechanism of vidarabine is incompletely understood, but vidarabine is an inhibitor of viral DNA synthesis. Cellular enzymes phosphorylate vidarabine to the triphosphate, which inhibits viral DNA polymerase activity in a manner that is competitive with deoxyadenosine triphosphate. Vidarabine triphosphate is incorporated into both cellular and viral DNA, where it may act as a chain terminator. Vidarabine triphosphate also inhibits ribonucleoside reductase, RNA polyadenylation, and S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH), an enzyme involved in transmethylation reactions.
