Ganciclovir Description

Ganciclovir is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an acyclovir analog that is a potent inhibitor of the Herpesvirus family including cytomegalovirus. Ganciclovir is used to treat complications from AIDS-associated cytomegalovirus infections. [PubChem]Ganciclovirs antiviral activity inhibits virus replication. This inhibitory action is highly selective as the drug must be converted to the active form by a virus-encoded cellliar enzyme, thymidine kinase (TK). TK catalyzes phosphorylation of ganciclovir to the monophosphate, which is then subsequently converted into the diphosphate by cellliar guanylate kinase and into the triphosphate by a number of cellliar 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 fality DNA. This is where ganciclovir triphosphate is incorporated into the DNA strand replacing many of the adenosine bases. This reslits in the prevention of DNA synthesis, as phosphodiester bridges can longer to be built, destabilizing the strand. Ganciclovir inhibits viral DNA polymerases more effectively than it does cellliar polymerase, and chain elongation resumes when ganciclovir is removed. Structure
