Overview:

Valcyte
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Ganciclovir is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue with in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activity against herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1), Ganciclovir is highly selective due to its affinity for the enzyme thymidine kinase (TK) encoded by HSV and VZV. This viral enzyme converts Ganciclovir into Ganciclovir monophosphate, a nucleotide analogue. The monophosphate is further converted into diphosphate by cellular guanylate kinase and into triphosphate by a number of cellular enzymes. in vitro, Ganciclovir triphosphate stops replication of herpes viral DNA. When used as a substrate for viral DNA polymerase, Ganciclovir triphosphate competitively inhibits dATP leading to the formation of 'faulty' DNA. This is where Ganciclovir triphosphate is incorporated into the DNA strand replacing many of the adenosine bases. This results in the prevention of DNA synthesis, as phosphodiester bridges can longer to be built, destabilizing the strand. For the treatment of CMV retinitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Mechanism Of Action:
Ganciclovir stops replication of herpes viral DNA in 3 ways: 1) competitive inhibition of viral DNA polymerase, 2) incorporation into and termination of the growing viral DNA chain, and 3) inactivation of the viral DNA polymerase. Ganciclovir targets HSV and VSV thymidine kinase
