DOI: 10.1016/j.antiviral.2016.12.008
Abstract: &NA; The antiherpetic drugs acyclovir (ACV, valaciclovir) and penciclovir (famciclovir) are phosphorylated by viral thymidine kinase and terminate DNA synthesis. ASP2151 (amenamevir) and foscavir (PFA) directly inhibit viral helicase‐primase and DNA polymerase, respectively, and inhibit… read more here.
