Aciclovir is an antiviral agent primarily used for the treatment of herpes simplex virus infections, as well as in the treatment of varicella zoster (chickenpox) and herpes zoster (shingles). It was seen as the start of a new era in antiviral therapy, as it is extremely selective and low in cytotoxicity.

Famciclovir(BRL 42810) is a guanine analogue antiviral drug used for the treatment of various herpesvirus infections.

Levamisole hydrochloride is an anthelmintic and immunomodulator belonging to a class of synthetic imidazothiazole derivatives.

Fiacitabine is a selective inhibitior of DNA replication of herpes simplex virus(HSV) with IC50 values of 2.5 nM and 12.6 nM for HSV1 and HSV2, respectively.

ASP2151, is a herpes virus helicase-primase inhibitor. ASP2151 had significantly better anti-HSV activity against herpes simplex keratitis than valacyclovir and acyclovir after systemic or topical use.

BAY 57-1293 is a potent helicase primase inhibitor. BAY 57-1293 inhibits replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and type 2 in the nanomolar range in vitro by abrogating the enzymatic activity of the viral primase-helicase complex.

Penciclovir is reported to be potent against HSV types 1 and 2 with IC50 of 0.04-1.8 μg/mL and 0.06-4.4 μg/mL, respectively.

Cytarabine hydrochloride, a nucleoside analog, causes S phase cell cycle arrest and inhibits DNA polymerase. Cytarabine inhibits DNA synthesis with an IC50 of 16 nM.

HSV-TK substrate is a substrate for HSV-TK, and induces multi-log cytotoxicity in HSV-TK-expressing and bystander cells. HSV-TK substrate shows antitumor activity.

B220 is an antiviral agent which can inhibit the growth of HSV-1, HSV-2 and human cytomegalovirus (CMV).

Helioxanthin 8-1 is an analogue of helioxanthin, exhibites significant in vitro anti-HBV/HCV/HSV-1/HIV activity with EC50 of >5/10/1.4/15 uM.

Cyclopropavir (Filociclovir; ZSM-I-62; MBX-400) is a broad-spectrum anti-herpesvirus compound, has good antiviral activity against cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus (HHV)-6 and HHV-8 with EC50s of 0.7 ??M to 8 ??M.

HSV-gB2 (498-505) is an immunodominant epitope from herpes simplex virus (HSV) glycoprotein B residues 498-505, acts as H-2Kb-restricted and HSV-1/2-cross-reactive cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) recognition epitope.
