1-(S)-(3-Hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)cytosine (HPMPC) inhibits efficiently human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication. The drug exhibited marked antiviral effect in vitro not only at single application after virus adsorption, but also if given 48 hr post-infection. The inhibition of HCMV replication by HPMPC occurred after mere pretreatment of the host cells with the drug followed by its removal from the medium before virus infection. No free or host cell bound infectious virus was detected in the drug pretreated (1.5 micrograms/ml) virus infected cells. This effect was drug concentration dependent.

D003588 Cytopathogenic Effect, Viral Visible morphologic changes in cells infected with viruses. It includes shutdown of cellular RNA and protein synthesis, cell fusion, release of lysosomal enzymes, changes in cell membrane permeability, diffuse changes in intracellular structures, presence of viral inclusion bodies, and chromosomal aberrations. It excludes malignant transformation, which is CELL TRANSFORMATION, VIRAL. Viral cytopathogenic effects provide a valuable method for identifying and classifying the infecting viruses.
