feline herpesvirus

GR-95168 ((+)-C-BVDU) is an antiviral compound for the study of herpes simplex virus infections type 1 and type 2.

Idoxuridine (Dendrid) is an analog of DEOXYURIDINE that inhibits viral DNA synthesis. The drug is used as an antiviral agent.

Ganciclovir sodium (Cytovene IV sodium) is the sodium salt of Ganciclovir with antiviral activity, especially against cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).

Ganciclovir (BW 759) hydrate is a nucleoside analogue that is an orally active antiviral agent with anti-cytomegalovirus activity. Ganciclovir hydrate is also active against members of the herpes group and some other DNA viruses in vitro. Ganciclovir hydrate inhibits the replication of human herpes viruses (HSV 1 and 2, CMV) and adenovirus serotypes 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 19, 22 and 28 in vitro. Ganciclovir hydrate also has an IC 50 of 5.2 μM against feline herpesvirus type-1 ( FHV-1 ) and can diffuse into the brain [1] [2] [3].

Idoxuridine hydrate (5-Iodo-2′-deoxyuridine, 5-IUdR, IdUrd) is a competitive inhibitor of phosphorylases. As an iodinated thymidine analogue, it effectively inhibits DNA polymerase and hinders viral replication, making it useful in the treatment of viral eye infections such as herpes simplex keratitis. Against feline herpesvirus, Idoxuridine has been found to have an IC50 value of 4.3 μM [1].
