Tai-Ding-An (3-phthalimido-2-oxo-n-butyraldehyde bisthiosemicarbazone, TDA) is a synthetic antiviral drug developed by our institute. Because of its low water/lipid solubility. Tai-Ding-An is limited to topical treatment of herpes viruses infected skin diseases and of condylomata acuminata (ginital warts), one of sexual transmitted diseases (STD), caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). Ten TDA derivatives IIIb-e, Va, Vb, VIIa-e have been synthesized in order to search for compounds with higher antiviral activity and better solubility than the parent compound as well as to explore structure and activity relationship. Among the ten analogs, three compounds (IIIc, VIIa and VIIb) were found to be effective against herpes simplex virus. The most potent inhibitor was 3-phthalimido-2-oxo-n-butyraldehyde bis- N4- phenylthiosemicarbazone (IIIc, PTDA) which was approximately 10 times more active against HSV-2 as compared with TDA. Compound IIIc was also found to be effective on the topical treatment of herpetic epithelial keratitis in rabbits.

In this paper, we review sexually transmitted diseases (STD) involving the eye. Recently conjunctivitis due to Chlamydia trachomatis in children and adults is increasing, and that of Neisseria gonorrhoeae resistant to multiple antibiotics has attracted special attention in our country. Syphilis has many ocular manifestations such as keratitis, iridocyclitis, retinochorioiditis, and neuritis, etc. Ocular complications related to HIV infection, including HIV retinopathy, cytomegalovirus retinitis, zoster ophthalmics, and Kaposi s sarcoma in conjunctiva are increasing in Japan. Phthirus pubis infection of the eye lid, and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-associated uveitis are occasionally reported. Furthermore conjunctival tumor associated with human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, acute retinal necrosis(ARN) due to herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), as well as hepatitis B virus (HVB) and hepatitis C virus (HVC) retinopathy are also mentioned in this review.
