Product Description
Ganciclovir sodium, an acyclovir analog,is a novel and potent antiviral drug used to treat or prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections.Ganciclovir (2'-Nor-2'-deoxyguanosine, BW-759) is a novel and potent herpes simplex virus (HSV) inhibitor. It is a synthetic analog of 2'-deoxy-guanosineused to treat or prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. It acts by inhibiting the replication of human CMV with an IC50 value of 0.01 μM and is effective against strains of CMV from human, monkey, mouse, and guinea pig.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Acyclic deoxyguanosine analog ganciclovir (BW 759) possesses strong anti-CMV action and resembles acyclovir in structure. Compared to 72 μM for acyclovir, the median dose of ganciclovir needed to suppress viral reproduction by 50% is 2.15 μM [4]. Using ganciclovir-5'-triphosphate (ganciclovir-TP), ganciclovir inhibits viral DNA replication, which is the primary mechanism of action against CMV. Viral DNA polymerase is specifically and potently inhibited by this inhibitor. Three biological enzymes mostly convert ganciclovir to its triphosphate form: phosphoglycerate kinase, guanylate kinase, and deoxyguanosine kinase, which is activated in CMV-infected cells [5].
ln Vivo
For a total of five intraperitoneal injections, ganciclovir (BW 759) (50 mg/kg) drastically lowers white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets in neonatal mice. It can also spread to the outer ear and brain. The space of lymph. 3]. In mice infected with the cytomegalovirus (MCMV), ganciclovir (1–80 mg/kg; intravenously; once daily for 5 days) postpones wasting syndrome and mortality [6].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: non-inbred Oncins France 1 (OF1) mice and albino rats without MCMV immunization [3]
Doses: 50 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection, twice a day, for 5 consecutive injections (mouse ) or 3 days (adult rats) ) (pharmacokinetic/PK/PK study)
Experimental Results: In adult rats, intracochlear diffusion of ganciclovir reaches the same concentration as in blood. In pregnant mice, transplacental spread was observed with a fetal to maternal blood ratio of 0.5. In neonatal mice, plasma concentrations of ganciclovir peak within 2 hrs (hrs (hours)) and gradually decrease thereafter. In adult mice, concentrations peaked at 1 hour but became undetectable at 2 hrs (hrs (hours)) post-injection. White blood cells, red blood cells and platelets were Dramatically diminished in newborn mice.

Animal/Disease Models: Female SCID (severe combined immunodeficient) mouse vaccinated with MCMV[6] Doses: 0, 1, 10, 80 and 160 mg/kg
Route of Administration: subcutaneous injection, one time/day for 5 days
Experimental Results: Within a certain dose range, dose-dependent Delayed wasting syndrome
