Description
An antiviral agent that competitively inhibits and inactivates HSV-specified DNA polymerases preventing further viral DNA synthesis without affecting the normal cellular processes; primarily used for the treatment of HSV infections.HSV Infection Approved (In Vitro) :Acyclovir (Aciclovir, 3-100 μM; 24-72 hours; Jurkat, U937, and K562 leukemia cells) reduces cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent.Acyclovir (Aciclovir, 10-100 μM; 24-72 hours; Jurkat cells) blocks DNA synthesis, thereby arresting the cell cycle in G2/M and S phases and increasing the sub-G1 hypodiploid peak in a dose-dependent manner.Acyclovir (Aciclovir, 10-100 μM; 24-72 hours; Jurkat cells) induces apoptosis through activates caspase-3 and presences nuclear DNA fragmentation. (In Vivo) :Acyclovir (20 mg/kg; p.o.; three times daily; for 10 days; BALB/c mice) treatment in infected mice suppresses the development of skin lesions and results in a dissociation between DTH response and antibody production.

Chemical Information

Acyclovir

Acyclovir is an oxopurine that is guanine substituted by a (2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl substituent at position 9. Used in the treatment of viral infections. It has a role as an antimetabolite and an antiviral drug. It is a member of 2-aminopurines and an oxopurine. It is functionally related to a guanine.
