摘要

80年代中期,我从阿拉巴马州的伯明翰飞到旧金山,租了一辆车,然后开车到帕洛阿尔托,在Syntex公司与约翰·马丁会面。John和Julian Verheyden在体外合成了更昔洛韦(ganciclovir),该药物对巨细胞病毒(CMV)具有显著的体外抗活性。这种药物为我和我的同事提供了一个机会来评估它作为先天性巨细胞病毒感染的治疗药物,我们完全知道它是诱变的、致畸的和致癌的。约翰以他的智慧说服了Syntex的管理层为这种疾病提供更昔洛韦,使我能够通过NIAID协同抗病毒研究小组(CASG)研究这种药物在有症状的先天性感染儿童中的作用。当然,没有其他个人或公司会提倡在儿童中使用这种药物,无论疾病严重程度如何,因为它的毒性。从早期开始,更昔洛韦及其前药缬更昔洛韦就成为治疗先天性巨细胞病毒感染的标准药物。下面的评论定义了治疗发展的需要和进展

Commentary: Development of Therapeutics for Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection
In the mid 1980’s, I flew from Birmingham, Alabama to San Francisco, rented a car, and drove to Palo Alto so that I could meet with John Martin at Syntex. John, along with Julian Verheyden, synthesized ganciclovir, which had significant in vitro activity against cytomegalovirus (CMV) in vitro. This drug provided my colleagues and me an opportunity to evaluate it as a therapeutic agent for congenital CMV infection, knowing full well that it was mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic. John in his wisdom convinced the management of Syntex to provide ganciclovir for this disease, allowing me to study this drug in symptomatic congenitally infected children through the NIAID Collaborative Antiviral Study Group (CASG). Certainly, no other person or company would advocate for the use of such a medication in children, regardless of disease severity, because of its toxicity profile. Since these early days, ganciclovir, and subsequently its prodrug valganciclovir, have become the standard of care for the treatment of congenital cytomegalovirus infection. The following commentary defines the need and progress in the development of therapy
