Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10473024 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8630098

Cidofovir is an antiviral nucleotide analogue with significant activity against cytomegalovirus (CMV) and other herpesviruses. Cidofovir suppresses cytomegalovirus (CMV) replication by selective inhibition of viral DNA synthesis. Biochemical data support selective inhibition of CMV DNA polymerase by cidofovir diphosphate, the active intracellular metabolite of cidofovir. Incorporation of cidofovir into the growing viral DNA chain results in reductions in the rate of viral DNA synthesis. Cidofovir is indicated for the treatment of CMV retinitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: In rabbits, radiolabelled cidofovir crossed the blood brain barrier but were found at much lower levels than were observed in the kidney tissue. In rats i.v. administered cidofovir does not seem to cross the blood-brain barrier efficiently. No human data available.

Sample Use Guides

Induction Treatment The recommended induction dose of VISTIDE (cidofovir injection) for patients with a serum creatinine of ≤1.5 mg/dL, a calculated creatinine clearance >55 mL/min, and a urine protein <100 mg/dL (equivalent to <2+ proteinuria) is 5 mg/kg body weight (given as an intravenous infusion at a constant rate over 1 hr) administered once weekly for two consecutive weeks. Maintenance Treatment The recommended maintenance dose of VISTIDE is 5 mg/kg body weight (given as an intravenous infusion at a constant rate over 1 hr), administered once every 2 weeks.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
Cidofovir is active in vitro against a variety of laboratory and clinical isolates of cytomegalovirus with IC50 values of 0.5-2.8 uM (WT isolates)
