title: Synergism among BIOLF-62, phosphonoformate, and other antiherpetic compounds.
abstract: 9-[[2-Hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl]guanine (BIOLF-62) is highly synergistic with either phosphonoformate or phosphonoacetate when used in combination against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 in vitro. Acycloguanosine did not show significant synergism with these two compounds. Bromovinyldeoxyuridine and phosphonoformate were highly synergistic against herpes simplex virus type 2, but not against type 1.
