What Is Acivir DT 400 mg? Acivir DT 400 mg is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue antiviral formulation manufactured by Cipla, supplied as dispersible tablets for laboratory and in-vitro research applications. Each tablet contains acyclovir as the active pharmaceutical ingredient — a compound widely employed as a reference standard in virology research. Acyclovir is of significant interest to researchers investigating the selective inhibition of viral DNA polymerase enzymes, particularly those seeking to examine the mechanistic steps by which nucleoside analogues interfere with herpesvirus replication cycles in controlled experimental settings. Visitors exploring our broader catalogue at uksteroidshops.co.uk will find Acivir DT 400 mg listed alongside a curated selection of verified research compounds. Research Applications and Investigative Context In preclinical and in-vitro research models, acyclovir undergoes intracellular phosphorylation to its active triphosphate form, which subsequently competes with deoxyguanosine triphosphate for incorporation into viral DNA chains. Once incorporated, it acts as a chain terminator, halting viral DNA synthesis. Researchers investigating herpes simplex virus (HSV-1, HSV-2), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) polymerase activity frequently evaluate acyclovir analogues as mechanistic probes in cell culture assays. The dispersible tablet formulation from Cipla allows for straightforward solubilisation, facilitating consistent stock preparation in aqueous research media. Teams evaluating antiviral selectivity indices and therapeutic windows find the 400 mg unit dose a practical working concentration for serial dilution protocols.
