摘要

For anyone new to the field of herpes virus DNA replication may I point you to the perfect introduction to this subject by the doyenne of herpes virus helicase-primase, Sandra K Weller and her co-author, Robert D Kuchta [i]. This is not only an 'expert' opinion in every sense but is also a lucid and readable account that brings a potentially rather dry subject to life. The work of Weller over more than 20 years on DNA-replication protein-protein interactions has made a major impact on our understanding of the role of helicase-primase in herpes virus DNA replication. The elucidation of the complexities of the communication between several multi-meric virus-coded proteins and herpes virus DNA and how the virus both uses and depresses cellular responses to the invading virus has encouraged several pharmaceutical companies to seek selective inhibitors of the helicase-primase (HPI) functions. A small number of drug candidates have come to the fore, and over the last couple of years, two HPI (amenamevir and pritelivir) have commenced clinical trials. This review puts these recent therapeutic candidates of HPI in the context of more familiar nucleoside analog inhibitors such as acyclovir and penciclovir that target DNA polymerase.
