Popis: The susceptibility of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) and varicella zoster virus (VZV) clinical isolates to PNU-183792, a 4-oxo-dihydroquinoline, was examined. The antiviral potency of PNU-183792, a non-nucleoside inhibitor, was compared to the licensed nucleoside inhibitors ganciclovir and acyclovir using plaque reduction and virus yield reduction assays. PNU-183792 was as potent against CMV as ganciclovir and was superior in potency to acyclovir against VZV. PNU-183792 represents a new class of non-nucleoside inhibitors of human herpesviruses. J.
