The acyclic nucleoside phosphonate analogue (S)-1-[3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl]cytosine (HPMPC) is a potent and selective inhibitor of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication and DNA synthesis. Unlike 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine (DHPG), HPMPC inhibits HCMV replication in cell cultures which have been treated with the compound before infection. Upon short-pulse treatment of HCMV-infected cells with HPMPC, a long-lasting antiviral response is obtained. The antiviral activity of HPMPC, unlike the antiviral activity of other cytosine derivatives (i.e. Ara-C, FIAC), is not readily reversed by 2'-deoxycytidine or cytidine. Neutral and alkaline sucrose gradient analysis of HCMV DNA isolated from HPMPC-treated HCMV-infected cell cultures revealed that HPMPC does not cause (detectable) single- or double-strand breakage of HCMV DNA.
无环核苷膦酸类似物(S)-1-[3-羟基-2-膦酰甲氧基丙基]胞嘧啶(HPMPC)是一种强效且具有选择性的人巨细胞病毒(HCMV)复制及DNA合成抑制剂。与9-(1,3-二羟基-2-丙氧甲基)鸟嘌呤(DHPG)不同,HPMPC可在感染前用该化合物处理过的细胞培养物中抑制HCMV复制。在用HPMPC对HCMV感染的细胞进行短脉冲处理后,可获得持久的抗病毒反应。与其他胞嘧啶衍生物(即阿糖胞苷、氟阿糖胞苷)的抗病毒活性不同,HPMPC的抗病毒活性不易被2'-脱氧胞苷或胞苷逆转。对从经HPMPC处理的HCMV感染细胞培养物中分离出的HCMV DNA进行中性和碱性蔗糖梯度分析表明,HPMPC不会导致(可检测到的)HCMV DNA单链或双链断裂。
