pharmachologic effect
Pharmacological group:
Antiviral agent for topical administration.
Pharmacodynamics:
Antiviral drug – a synthetic nucleoside analogue of thymidine. In infected cells containing viral thymidine kinase, phosphorylation occurs and conversion to acyclovir monophosphate. Under the influence of guanylate cyclase is converted into acyclovir monophosphate and diphosphate by the action of several cellular enzymes – a triphosphate.
The high selectivity of action, and low toxicity to humans due to the lack of the enzyme necessary for the formation of acyclovir triphosphate in intact microorganism cells.
Acyclovir triphosphate, “embedding” in the synthesized DNA virus, blocking reproduction of the virus. The specificity and the very high selectivity of action is also advantageous due to its accumulation in cells infected with the herpes virus. Highly active against Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2; virus that causes chickenpox and zoster (Varicella zoster); Epstein-Barr virus.
Moderately active against cytomegalovirus.
