Acyclic guanosine analogs as substrates for varicella-zoster virus thymidine kinase.
This study was performed to obtain information on the enzymatic background to the antiviral activity of acyclic guanosine analogs. Five acyclic guanosine analogs, the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of 9-(3,4-dihydroxybutyl)guanine, 9-(4-hydroxybutyl)guanine, 9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]guanine, and 9-[[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl]guanine, were compared in enzyme kinetic experiments using ...

متن کاملVaricella-Zoster Virus
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is one of the eight herpesviruses that infects humans. The virus causes two diseases, varicella (chickenpox) and zoster (shingles) (1). Varicella is primarily an illness of children, although as many as 5% of adults in the United States may be susceptible.
