Description of Acyclovir

Acyclovir is a potent oral antiviral drug. Acyclovir has anti-herpetic activity with IC50 values ​​of 0.85 μM and 0.86 μM for HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively. Acyclovir induces cell cycle disruption and apoptosis[1] [2].

In the plaque reduction assay (PRA) of Vero cells, Acyclovir (20μM; 3d) treatment showed 100% plaque inhibition[1]. Acyclovir (10-100μM; 24-72h) blocks DNA synthesis, thereby arresting the cell cycle at G2/M and S phases and increasing the G1 hypodiploid peak in a dose-dependent manner. Acyclovir (10-100μM; 24-72h) induces apoptosis through activation of caspase-3 and the presence of nuclear DNA fragmentation[2].

Treatment of infected mice with Acyclovir (20mg/kg; po; three times daily; 10d) inhibited the development of skin lesions and led to a dissociation between the DTH response and antibody production [3]. In the Acyclovir-induced nephrotoxicity model, after mice were given Acyclovir (150, 600 mg/kg; ip; 9d), serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels increased, histopathological changes occurred in the kidneys of mice, and the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor VEGFR2 were reduced[4].

Protocol of Acyclovir

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Vero cells

Preparation Method

Vero cells were infected with HSV-1 for 1h and then treated with NPRE (0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8mg/mL). The DMSO was used in the control samples and Acyclovir (20µM) was used as positive control.

Reaction Conditions

20μM; 3d.

Applications

Treatment with 20μM Acyclovir showed 100% plaque inhibition.
Animal experiment [2]:
ModelNephrotoxicity Model

Preparation Method

ICR mice were randomly divided into three groups to receive saline, 150mg/kg Acyclovir, or 600mg/kg Acyclovir once-daily for 9 days. Mice were kept at room temperature and 70±10% humidity, with a light-dark cycle. Food and water were available ad libitum. Acyclovir was administered intraperitoneally (ip) diluted in 20mL/kg of 0.9% sodium chloride injection solution. The saline group received an equal volume of the 0.9% sodium chloride solution.

Dosage form

150,600mg/kg; ip; 9d

Applications

After administration of Acyclovir, levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen increased ,mouse kidneys exhibited histopathological changes and reduced expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor VEGFR2.
