In Vitro | Ganciclovir is an acyclic deoxyguanosine analog structurally similar to acyclovir but with superior activity against CMV. The median ganciclovir concentration required to inhibit viral replication by 50 percent is 2.15 mumol versus 72 mumol for acyclovir[2].The primary mechanism of ganciclovir action against CMV is inhibition of the replication of viral DNA by ganciclovir-5'-triphosphate (ganciclovir-TP). This inhibition includes a selective and potent inhibition of the viral DNA polymerase.Ganciclovir is metabolized to the triphosphate form by primarily three cellular enzymes: a deoxyguanosine kinase induced by CMV-infected cells; guanylate kinase; and phosphoglycerate kinase[3]. |
In Vivo | In adult rats, the intracochlear diffusion of ganciclovir is shown to achieve the same concentration as in blood. In gestating mice, transplacental diffusion is observed, with a fetal-to-maternal blood ratio of 0.5. In newborn mice, the plasma concentration profile of ganciclovir shows a peak at 2 h followed by a gradual decrease. In adult mice, the concentration peaked at 1 h, but becomes undetectable by 2 h after injection. Counts of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets decreases significantly in ganciclovir-treated newborn mice[4]. |
Animal Admin | Rats: Two albino rats non-immunized for MCMV are used in the study. After being weighed, two adult rats undergo peritoneal injections. The first rat receives 50 mg/kg of ganciclovir twice a day (i.e. 100 mg/kg/day), for a total of 3 days or 6 injections. The second rat is used as a negative control and received intraperitoneal injections of glucose solution. After the 6th injection, the two rats are sacrified; blood and perilymphatic fluids are collected for analysis[4]. Mice: Non-inbred Oncins France 1 (OF1) mice are used in the study. Ganciclovir is diluted in 5% glucose serum to a concentration of 5 mg/mL and administered intraperitoneally in newborn mice at a dose of 50 mg/kg twice a day. Five injections are administered in total[4]. |
