Apexbio Technology LLC Penciclovir 39809-25-1 10mM (in 1mL DMSO)
Supplier: Apexbio Technology LLC B18095.1
Penciclovir is a selective inhibitor of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) DNA synthesis Structurally derived from guanine penciclovir undergoes phosphorylation within virus-infected cells forming penciclovir triphosphate the active antiviral metabolite Penciclovir triphosphate specifically targets viral DNA polymerase blocking HSV-1 DNA replication In vitro experiments using MRC-5 cells demonstrate inhibition of HSV-1 replication at an IC50 of 0 16 M without interfering with host cellular DNA synthesis This mechanism of action renders penciclovir suitable for antiviral research targeting HSV-1 replication as well as drug-resistance and mechanism-of-action studies involving HSV-2 and varicella-zoster virus (VZV)
