pharmachologic effect

Antiviral drug for external use.

Acyclovir is active against Herpes simplex types 1 and 2, Varicella zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus.

Thymidine kinase of cells infected with a virus through a series of consecutive reactions actively converts acyclovir to mono-, di- and acyclovir triphosphate.

The latter interacts with viral DNA polymerase and is embedded in DNA, which is synthesized for new viruses.

Thus, defective" viral DNA is formed, which leads to suppression of replication of new generations of viruses.
