Potent synergistic inhibition of herpes simplex virus-2 by 9-[(1, 3-dihydroxy-2-propoxy)methyl]guanine in combination with recombinant interferons
Abstract
DHPG, an acyclic guanine nucleoside with the structure 9-[(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxy)methyl]guanine], showed potent synergism with recombinant alpha or beta interferons and modest synergism with gamma interferon in inhibiting the replication of herpes simplex virus type 2 in vitro. The most potent direct anti-herpes viral synergism was obtained by combination of DHPG and recombinant human interferon-beta-ser17; when combined, doses of each near their separate effective dose50's resulted in almost complete elimination of production of infectious virus within a single viral replication cycle. The anti-herpes viral activity of DHPG-interferon combinations was significantly greater than that obtained with acyclovir-interferon combinations.
