Bioactivity | Acyclovir (Aciclovir) sodium is a potent, orally active antiviral agent. Acyclovir sodium has antiherpetic activity with IC50 values of 0.85 μM and 0.86 μM for HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively. Acyclovir sodium induces cell cycle perturbation and apoptosis. Acyclovir sodium prevents bacterial infections during induction therapy for acute leukaemia[1][2][3][4]. |
Invitro | Acyclovir (Aciclovir) sodium (3-100 µM; 24-72 hours; Jurkat, U937, and K562 leukemia cells) reduces cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent[1].Acyclovir (Aciclovir) sodium (10-100 µM; 24-72 hours; Jurkat cells) blocks DNA synthesis, thereby arresting the cell cycle in G2/M and S phases and increasing the sub-G1 hypodiploid peak in a dose-dependent manner[1].Acyclovir (Aciclovir) sodium (10-100 µM; 24-72 hours; Jurkat cells) induces apoptosis through activates caspase-3 and presences nuclear DNA fragmentation[1].
