Valganciclovir

CAS No. : 175865-60-8

Biological Activity:Valganciclovir, 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: CMV
in 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. The inhibition by valganciclovir was competitive in both cases [1].
in vivo: 37 patients were enrolled; 19 patients received treatment with VGV and 18 patients received treatment with GCV. The VGV was not inferior in efficacy to GCV as pre-emptive therapy, with rates of viral clearance at 28 days of 89.5% and 83%, respectively (P-value for non-inferiority = 0.030). Toxicities were similar between the 2 arms. No patients developed CMV disease [2]. Patients being treated with an alemtuzumab-containing regimen received prophylaxis with either valaciclovir 500 mg orally daily orvalganciclovir 450 mg orally twice daily. None of the 20 patients randomized to valganciclovir experienced CMV reactivation (P = .004) [3].
