Acyclovir [Mass/volume] in Cerebrospinal Fluid
Active
Term Description
The central nervous system (CNS) is an important sanctuary site for HIV replication. Studies measuring the penetration of antiretroviral drugs (such as acyclovir) are performed using the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of HIV positive patients in treatment, to help clinicians design treatment regimens that eliminate the virus, and still provide neuroprotective effects.

Part Descriptions
LP14522-4 Acyclovir
Aciclovir or acyclovir (USAN, former BAN) is a guanine analogue antiviral drug used most commonly for the treatment of herpes simplex virus infection. It is one of the most commonly-used antiviral drugs, and is most commonly marketed under the trade name Zovirax (GSK). Aciclovir was seen as the start of a new era in antiviral therapy, as it is extremely selective and low in cytotoxicity. Pharmacologist Gertrude B. Elion was awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize in Medicine partly for the development of aciclovir.
