Phosphonoacetic acid
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Phosphonoacetic acid is an endogenous metabolite and antiviral agent. Phosphonoacetic acid is active against orthopoxviruses and herpes viruses. Phosphonoacetic acid can inhibit HSV DNA synthesis and virus-specific DNA polymerase activity, and affect the synthesis of late viral proteins.

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 260 mg/mL (1856.74 mM; Need ultrasonic)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
