Product details of Acivir Cream
The active ingredient, acyclovir, is the first drug to be developed, and when it enters cells infected with herpes simplex virus, it is transformed into a substance called acyclovir triphosphate (ACV-TP) by phosphorylation.
On the other hand, the uptake of a nucleic acid component called deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) is essential for the elongation of herpesvirus.
ACV-TP and dGTP are similar in structure, and herpes virus mistakenly takes ACV-TP at the end of viral DNA instead of dGTP, which stops the elongation of the viral DNA strand and inhibits the replication of viral DNA. increase.
