Acyclovir-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of acyclovir (Item No. 14160) by GC- or LC-MS. Acyclovir is a guanosine analog that has antiviral activity in vitro against the herpes simplex viruses, varicella zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and human herpes virus 6 (ID50s = 0.1-63.1 ?M).{22178} It diffuses freely into cells and is selectively converted into acyclo-guanosine monophosphate by a virus-specific thymidine kinase. During DNA replication, the phosphorylated form of acyclovir is preferentially incorporated into viral DNA, resulting in premature chain termination and inhibition of further DNA polymerase activity.{22179} Acyclovir (5 mg/kg) reduces viral titers in mice infected with the herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) strain SC16.{48054}
