Inhibitory effect of amenamevir on acute herpetic pain and postherpetic neuralgia in mice infected with herpes simplex virus-1.
Abstract
Amenamevir (AMNV) is a helicase-primase inhibitor with antiviral activity against herpesviruses [herpes simplex viruses (HSV)-1 and -2, and varicella-zoster virus], which are associated with the development of acute herpetic pain (AHP) and postherpetic neuralgia. However, the inhibitory effects of helicase-primase inhibitors on AHP and postherpetic neuralgia remain incompletely understood.
