DETAILS

Description (English)
Application
Acycloguanosine has been used to study herpes simplex virus latency and reactivation, as well as HIV retrovirus reproduction. Acycloguanosine inhibits replication of cytomegalovirus by a mechanism that is independent of its phosphorylation by viral or cellular thymidine kinase.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Antiviral agent. Phosphorylation by herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) leads to the formation of acycloguanosine triphosphate that competitively inhibits the viral DNA polymerase.
Antiviral agent. Phosphorylation by herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) leads to the formation of acycloguanosine triphosphate that competitively inhibits the viral DNA polymerase. Acycloguanosine can be used to induce apoptosis in cells transfected with HSV-TK. Inhibits replication of cytomegalovirus by a mechanism that is independent of its phosphorylation by viral or cellular thymidine kinase.
