چکیده
The effect of ganciclovir [9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine] on herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA and protein synthesis was studied. Ganciclovir markedly inhibited the synthesis of viral DNA and gamma proteins in a dose-dependent manner. However, the synthesis of viral beta proteins was significantly increased by ganciclovir in the later stage of infection.

Effect of 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine on human cytomegalovirus replication in vitro.
We studied the effect of a novel purine acyclic nucleoside, 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine (DHPG), on human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication. The susceptibility of HCMV to this drug was monitored in cell culture by plaque reduction assay. HCMV replication of various strains was inhibited to the extent of 50% by 1 to 5 microM DHPG. DHPG was highly specific in its anti-HCMV activity, ...
متن کاملAntiadenovirus activities of several classes of nucleoside and nucleotide analogues.
The absence of any formally licensed antiadenovirus drugs and the increasing incidence of life-threatening adenovirus infections in immunosuppressed patients warrant the development of effective antiadenovirus compounds. A detailed study was performed on the antiadenovirus activities of several classes of nucleoside and nucleotide analogues in human embryonic lung fibroblast cells. The antiaden...
متن کاملComparison of the modes of antiviral action of 2'-nor-deoxyguanosine and its cyclic phosphate, 2'-nor-cyclic GMP.
The metabolisms of 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine (2'NDG) and its cyclic phosphate, 9-[(2-hydroxy-1,3,2-dioxophosphorinan-5-yl) oxymethyl]guanine P-oxide (2'-nor-cGMP), were compared in cultures of primary rabbit kidney cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). 2'-Nor-cGMP was taken up by the cells essentially intact, after which it was opened to the acyclic monophospha...
متن کاملEffect of acyclovir on viral protein synthesis in cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 1.
The effect of the antiviral agent 9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine (acyclovir) on herpes simplex virus type 1 protein synthesis during virus replication was examined. Treatment of infected cells with acyclovir markedly affected the amounts of the four major glycosylated and certain non-glycosylated viral polypeptides synthesized; other viral polypeptides were made in normal amounts. The reduced...
متن کاملMutually exclusive inhibition of herpesvirus DNA polymerase by aphidicolin, phosphonoformate, and acyclic nucleoside triphosphates.
Dual inhibitor studies were performed to examine the interaction of aphidicolin, phosphonoformate, 9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine triphosphate, and 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine triphosphate with herpes simplex virus DNA polymerase. Kinetic data indicated that inhibition by one agent prevents simultaneous inhibition by a second agent, producing a mutually exclusive inhibition patte...
