Description

Acyclovir is a potent antiviral agent widely recognized for its efficacy against herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and related herpesviruses. It functions as a selective inhibitor of viral DNA polymerase, effectively blocking viral replication by incorporation into viral DNA. Frequently utilized in antiviral research, drug discovery, and therapeutic formulations, acyclovir is an essential tool for both in vitro and in vivo studies.

At SigutLabs, we offer research-grade acyclovir with excellent purity and consistency, ideal for your antiviral assays, pharmacological research, and development projects.
