In the 1950's it was first observed that mammalian cells exposed to the halogenated deoxyuridines were more sensitive to ultraviolet light and radiation than untreated cells. This prompted early clinical trials with bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) which showed mixed results. More recently, several Phase I

Since July 1985, 23 patients have been entered into a phase I/II clinical trial using intraarterial 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) (400-600 mg/m2 daily for 8.5 weeks) and focal external beam radiotherapy (59.4 Gy at 1.8 Gy daily in 6.5 weeks) in the treatment of malignant gliomas (Kernohan grades 3 and

Bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR), a nonhypoxic radiosensitizing drug, is a halogenated pyrimidine analog that is incorporated into the deoxyribonucleic acid of dividing cells in a competitive process with thymidine; BUdR also sensitizes these cells to radiation therapy. Neurons and glial cells have a very
