Product Information

• Name: Valacyclovir hydrochloride dihydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Valacyclovir hydrochloride is an analog of the antiviral drug acyclovir that is used to treat herpes simplex virus infections. However, recent studies have shown that it may also have potential as an anticancer agent. Valacyclovir hydrochloride has been found to inhibit protein kinases, which are enzymes that play a key role in tumor growth and progression. In particular, it has been shown to inhibit the activity of several kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation and survival. This inhibition leads to apoptosis, or programmed cell death, which can help slow or stop tumor growth. Valacyclovir hydrochloride has also been studied for its medicinal properties in Chinese traditional medicine, where it is believed to have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects. Additionally, valacyclovir hydrochloride is excreted unchanged in urine and may act as a potent inhibitor of viral DNA polymerase in humans.
