[The synthesis and antiherpetic activity of acyclovir phosphonate esters]
Abstract:
Alkyl esters of acyclovir phosphite, alkoxycarbonylphosphonate, ethoxycarbonylmethylphosphonate, and aminocarbonylphosphonate were synthesized. Most of them were shown to inhibit the replication of type 1 herpes simplex virus in Vero cell culture. The stability in phosphate buffer and human blood serum was studied for several of the derivatives. A correlation between the stability and antiviral activity of the synthesized compounds is discussed.
