Ganciclovir triphosphate
Ganciclovir triphosphate (GCV-TP) is a competitive DNA polymerase inhibitor and a metabolite of Ganciclovir (HY-13637). Ganciclovir triphosphate can replace Guanine-5'-triphosphate to terminate DNA chain extension, and mimics dGTP (HY-138616) to compete with mammalian DNA polymerases. Ganciclovir triphosphate can be used in research related to HSV infection, retinoblastoma, glioblastoma and colorectal cancer.

Ganciclovir triphosphate accumulates in U251gfp human glioblastoma bystander cells cocultured with U251tk cells, with levels ranging from 30-80% of those in U251tk cells, dependent on GCV concentration, coculture ratio, and incubation time, and reaching up to ~2000 pmol/107 cells in 50:50 cocultures with 10 μM GCV for 24 h[2].
