G. Valette et al., THE PRONUCLEOTIDE APPROACH .3. SYNTHESIS, ANTI-HBV ACTIVITY AND STABILITY STUDIES OF THE BIS(S-PIVALOYL-2-THIOETHYL) PHOSPHOTRIESTER DERIVATIVE OF ACYCLOVIR, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 16(7-9), 1997, pp. 1331-1335
The nucleoside analog Acyclovir (ACV) is used in the treatment of herp
es simplex (HSV) and varicella-zoster (VZV) diseases. The possibility
to extend the application field of ACV by using the bis[SATE] pronucle
otide approach in order to deliver ACVMP inside the cell was investiga
ted, And actually, the title compound has potent anti-hepatitis B acti
vity in cell culture experiments. Here, we also report its synthesis a
nd stability in various media.
