Project Details

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The anti-herpetic effect of ASP2151, a novel helicase-primase inhibitor, was compared with acyclovir (ACV). ASP2151 reduced virus release to the culture supernatants as compared with ACV. In addition, the recovery of HSV yields after removal of antiviral drug was significantly more delayed by ASP2151 than by ACV. These results indicated that ASP2151 is more effective in the reducing viral load in the HSV-infected cells than ACV in the condition used in this study.
