General description

Acycloguanosine or acyclovir is a guanosine analog.

Application

Acycloguanosine has been used as an inhibitor of herpes simplex virus type I:
  • to serve as a positive control to compare the antiviral activities of mushroom extracts in cytotoxic assays using Vero cells
  • in infection studies to test its effect on voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) using human dorsal root ganglion-derived neuronal (HD10.6) cells
  • to test its effect on the interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression induction (Mx1 and ISG15) in human foreskin fibroblast cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acycloguanosine is an antiviral agent and is converted to acycloguanosine triphosphate by herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK). It competitively inhibits the viral DNA polymerase. It is less effective against cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus. Acycloguanosine has been used to study herpes simplex virus latency. It may act against human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) as well.

Enzyme-prodrug therapy using ganciclovir and herpes simplex virus-thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) has demonstrated excellent antitumor activity in many different types of malignant cells. Previously, we noted that ganciclovir was substantially more cytotoxic than other HSV-TK substrates. Therefore, we embarked on a
