RESUMO

(S)-9-(3-Hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine (HPMPA) and (S)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)cytosine (HPMPC) were tested in a mouse model for equine herpesvirus 1-induced abortion. HPMPA, given twice daily, reduced virus replication, but the compound was embryotoxic. A single dose of HPMPC, however, reduced the incidence of abortion and transfer of virus to the fetuses while producing no obvious toxic effects.
