The Boc-Val-Pro-ACV and Boc-Ile-Pro-ACV was dissolved in 20 ml of TFA and stirred at0 ◦ C for 1h to remove the Boc- group. Following removal of the TFA in vacuum, DIPEAwas added to a solution of Val-Pro-ACV or Ile-Pro-ACV and solution stirred for 10 min.Antiviral activityVirus: Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), strain DA.Cytotoxicity and anti-herpetic activity against HSV-1 of the newly synthesized dipeptideesters of acyclovir was tested in GMK cells.To exclude non-specific antiviral activities, the derivatives of acyclovir were tested forcytotoxicity on confluent monolayer’s of host cells. The results demonstrate a good<strong>com</strong>patibility of the new acyclovir analogous for the tested cell lines. None of the<strong>com</strong>pounds inhibited the HSV-1-induced cytopathic effect in GMK cells.In conclusion, novel esters of acyclovir have been synthesized with dipeptide H-Val-Pro-OH and H-Ile-Pro-OH and their antiherpetic activity have been explored.The results in our investigations showed that these modification of acyclovir reducedantiviral effect in <strong>com</strong>parison with modification of acyclovir with amino acids(valacyclovir).AcknowledgmentsFor the support of this work we are grateful to the National Science Fund of Bulgaria (ContractsVUL-304/07) and South-West University ‘Neofit Rilski’’, Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria (SRP-C2/2010).References1.
