* Dosing Information


==Mechanism of Action==
:* (Dosage)
|offLabelAdultGuideSupport======Condition 1=====


Acyclovir is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue with in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activity against herpes simplex virus types 1 ([[HSV]]-1), 2 ([[HSV]]-2), and [[varicella-zoster virus]] ([[varicella-zoster virus|VZV]]).
* Developed by: (Organisation)


The inhibitory activity of acyclovir is highly selective due to its affinity for the enzyme thymidine kinase (TK) encoded by [[HSV]] and [[varicella-zoster virus|VZV]]. This viral enzyme converts acyclovir into acyclovir 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, acyclovir triphosphate stops replication of herpes viral DNA. This is accomplished 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. The greater antiviral activity of acyclovir against [[HSV]] compared with [[varicella-zoster virus|VZV]] is due to its more efficient phosphorylation by the viral TK.
