Effect of aphidicolin on DNA synthesis in HSV-1 infected and uninfected Vero cells. 1983

A Larsson, and M Wrååk, and B Oberg

The effect of aphidicolin on DNA synthesis in herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infected and uninfected Vero cells was determined by isodensity banding of [32P]-labelled DNA. A 50% inhibition of HSV-1 DNA synthesis was observed at 0.07 microM aphidicolin while 2.1 and 1.3 microM were required to inhibit the cellular DNA synthesis to 50% in infected and uninfected Vero cells, respectively. When the viral DNA synthesis was totally inhibited by 10 microM aphidicolin, the cellular DNA synthesis was inhibited to about 90% in both infected and uninfected cells. Aphidicolin inhibited the cellular DNA synthesis in HSV-1 infected and uninfected Vero cells remaining in the presence of 250 microM foscarnet to the same extent as the DNA synthesis in the absence of foscarnet.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004279 DNA, Viral Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses. Viral DNA
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016590 Aphidicolin An antiviral antibiotic produced by Cephalosporium aphidicola and other fungi. It inhibits the growth of eukaryotic cells and certain animal viruses by selectively inhibiting the cellular replication of DNA polymerase II or the viral-induced DNA polymerases. The drug may be useful for controlling excessive cell proliferation in patients with cancer, psoriasis or other dermatitis with little or no adverse effect upon non-multiplying cells. Aphidicolin, (3-S-(3alpha,4beta,4abeta,6aalpha,8alpha,9alpha,11aalpha,11balpha))-Isomer,ICI-69653,NSC-234714,NSC-351140,ICI 69653,ICI69653,NSC 234714,NSC 351140,NSC234714,NSC351140
