Bioactivity | Valacyclovir (Valaciclovir) is an orally active antiviral drug for herpes simplex, herpes zoster, and herpes B. Valacyclovir inhibits HSV-1 W (50=2.9 μg/ml). Valacyclovir is a prodrug of Aciclovir (HY-17422) [1][2][3][4][5]. |
Invitro | Valacyclovir (Valaciclovir; VACV) uptake was concentration dependent and saturable with a Michaelis-Menten constant and maximum velocity of 1.64 mM and 23.34 nmol/mg protein/5 min, respectively. A very similar Km value was obtained in hPEPT1/CHO cells and in rat and rabbit tissues and Caco-2 cells, suggesting that hPEPT1 dominates the intestinal transport properties of VACV in vitro[5]. |
