Abstract:
:The present study examined the anti-herpetic effect of the glycoprotein inhibitors, hydroxynorvaline and 2-deoxyglucose, alone and in combination with trifluridine on murine ocular herpes. Following ocular inoculation with a large dose of HSV-1 RE strain (10(6) pfu), ICR mice were treated during the acute infection with different therapeutic regimens, and their efficacy was evaluated by ocular virus titers, clinical grading of blepharo-conjunctivitis and histological evaluation of stromal keratitis and iridocyclitis. The results following a large dose HSV-1 inoculum demonstrated that trifluridine was the best single therapeutic agent. Hydroxynorvaline and 2-deoxyglucose had no effect at all. Combination therapy of the glycoprotein inhibitors with trifluridine was no better than trifluridine alone. The mouse HSV-1 keratitis model proved to be an effective, economical alternative to the rabbit model for the evaluation of new antiviral agents.
