Abstract
Five promising antivirals have been tested individually and in pairs on herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 (Strain F) and 2 (Strain G) in Vero cells. These are: 9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine (acyclovir, ACV), 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (ara-A), 5-trifluorothymidine (TFT), E-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (BVDU), and phosphonoformate (PFA). Various types of interactions depending on virus type were observed: synergistic [ara-A/TFT; ara-A/BVDU (G); BVDU/PFA (F)]; additive [ACV/ara-A; ACV/TFT; ACV/BVDU; ACV/PFA (G); BVDU/TFT; PFA/ara-A; PFA/TFT]; and sub-additive [ACV/PFA (F); ara-A/BVDU (F) and BVDU/PFA (G)]. Neither antagonism nor interference was noted for any combinations.Entities:
