Cidofovir diphosphate tri (triethylamine)

Cidofovir diphosphate triethylamine, an active intracellular metabolite of Cidofovir, acts as a selective inhibitor of viral DNA polymerases. It exhibits inhibitory constants (K_i) of 6.6 μM for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA polymerase, 0.86 μM for herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) DNA polymerase, and 1.4 μM for herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) DNA polymerase, demonstrating its efficacy against these viral enzymes [1] [2].
