Description

Valganciclovir (hydrochloride), the L-valyl ester of ganciclovir, is actually a prodrug for ganciclovir. Valganciclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat cytomegalovirus infections.IC50 Value: Target: CMVin vitro: In cell culture model systems using Caco-2 cells for PEPT1 and SKPT cells for PEPT2, valganciclovir inhibited glycylsarcosine transport mediated by PEPT1 and PEPT2 with K(i) values (inhibition constant) of 1.68+/-0.30 and 0.043+/- 0.005 mM, respectively.

Drug Function and Efficacy

Valganciclovir is the L-valyl ester (prodrug) of ganciclovir, which is rapidly converted to ganciclovir by esterases in the small intestine and liver after oral administration. Ganciclovir is a synthetic 2'-deoxyguanosine analog that inhibits the replication of herpes viruses in vitro and in vivo. Sensitive human viruses include human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), herpes simplex virus-1 and herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-1, HSV-2), human herpes virus-6, 7, 8 (HHV-6, 7, 8), Epstein-Barr virus, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and hepatitis B virus. In cells infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV), ganciclovir is first phosphorylated to ganciclovir monophosphate by the viral protein kinase UL97. It is further phosphorylated to ganciclovir triphosphate by intracellular protein kinases and then slowly metabolized in the cell. Ganciclovir inhibits viral activity mainly by inhibiting viral DNA synthesis: (a) competitive inhibition of viral DNA polymerase, so that deoxyguanosine triphosphate cannot bind to DNA. (b) Ganciclovir triphosphate binds to viral DNA to terminate or limit the extension of the viral DNA chain. In vitro, the IC50 range of ganciclovir's antiviral effect on CMV is 0.08mcM (0.02ug/mL)-14mcM (3.5ug/mL).
