          Background

          Ganciclovir (DHPG) is a potent antiviral drug used to treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections [1].
          Ganciclovir (DHPG) is a nucleoside analogue and has shown the activity against viral thymidine kinase (tk) in the Herpesviridae family, including human cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus types I and II as well as Epstein-Barr virus. In addition, Ganciclovir has been reported to inhibit the proliferation of uninfected cells, most significantly of bone marrow cells, because of the function of inhibiting viral replication. Apart from these, Ganciclovir has been revealed to reduce the activation of microglial in wild-type C57BL/6 mice and inhibit proliferation of microglial in wild-type FvB mice [1].
