Abstract
The susceptibilities of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) to 17 nucleoside analogs were compared by a plaque reduction assay with human embryonic lung fibroblast cells. The susceptibility of VZV to certain nucleoside analogs was different from that of HSV-1. Against VZV the 5-halogenovinyl-arabinosyluracils were the most potent of the compounds tested.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
