| Abstract: | The effect of ganciclovir [9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine] on herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA and protein synthesis was studied. Ganciclovir markedly inhibited the synthesis of viral DNA and gamma proteins in a dose-dependent manner. However, the synthesis of viral beta proteins was significantly increased by ganciclovir in the later stage of infection. |
