In vitro susceptibility of six isolates of equine herpesvirus 1 to acyclovir, ganciclovir, cidofovir, adefovir, PMEDAP and foscarnet.
Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) is an important equine pathogen that causes respiratory disease, abortion, neonatal death and paralysis. Although vaccines are available, they are not fully protective and outbreaks of disease may occur in vaccinated herds. Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective antiviral treatment. For three abortigenic (94P247, 97P70 and 99P96) and three neuropathogenic ...
متن کاملIn vitro efficacy of ganciclovir, cidofovir, penciclovir, foscarnet, idoxuridine, and acyclovir against feline herpesvirus type-1.
OBJECTIVE To establish the in vitro efficacy of 4 novel drugs (ie, ganciclovir, cidofovir, penciclovir, and foscarnet) against feline herpesvirus type-1 (FHV-1) and compare their antiviral efficacy with that of acyclovir and idoxuridine. SAMPLE POPULATION Cultured Crandell-Reese feline kidney (CRFK) cells and FHV-1 strain 727 PROCEDURE For each drug, antiviral effect was estimated by use of...
متن کاملIn vitro comparison of antiviral drugs against feline herpesvirus 1
BACKGROUND Feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1) is a common cause of respiratory and ocular disease in cats. Especially in young kittens that have not yet reached the age of vaccination, but already lost maternal immunity, severe disease may occur. Therefore, there is a need for an effective antiviral treatment. In the present study, the efficacy of six antiviral drugs, i.e. acyclovir, ganciclovir, cid...
متن کاملFlow cytometric analysis of herpes simplex virus type 1 susceptibility to acyclovir, ganciclovir, and foscarnet.
We established a quantitative flow cytometric method for determination of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) susceptibility to acyclovir (ACV), ganciclovir, and foscarnet in vitro. Susceptibility was defined in terms of the drug concentration which reduced the number of cells expressing HSV-1 glycoprotein C (gpC) with a fluorescence intensity of > or =10(2) by 50% (IC50). Flow cytometry allowe...
متن کاملEvaluation of susceptibility of human herpesvirus 8 to antiviral drugs by quantitative real-time PCR.
A new in vitro system based on real-time PCR was developed for evaluation of human herpesvirus 8 susceptibility to antiviral agents. Cidofovir had the greatest inhibitory activity against HHV-8 (50% inhibitory concentration [IC(50)], 0.43 microM) followed by ganciclovir (2.61 microM), adefovir (18.00 microM), acyclovir (31.00 microM), and foscarnet (34.15 microM). The potential therapeutic effi...
