More than 130 acyclic purine and pyrimidine nucleoside derivatives have been synthesized. Structure-activity relationships among a selected group of 6- and 9-substituted guanine derivatives will be discussed. By introduction of secondary aliphatic (e.g. isopropyl or secondary butyl) ether groups into acyclic nucleosides such as aciclovir and ganciclovir new lipophilic prodrugs with modified physical and improved pharmacokinetic properties have been obtained. Several compounds with isopropylether groups in the side-chain and/or in the 6-position (among these the 6-deoxy derivative Hoe 602) of the purine moiety displayed excellent antiviral activity when tested in vivo against herpes simplex virus type 1 infection in mice.

D006561 Herpes Simplex A group of acute infections caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2 that is characterized by the development of one or more small fluid-filled vesicles with a raised erythematous base on the skin or mucous membrane. It occurs as a primary infection or recurs due to a reactivation of a latent infection. (Dorland, 27th ed.) Herpes Simplex Virus Infection

D000998 Antiviral Agents Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.
