9-((2-Phosphonylmethoxy)ethyl)guanine(Cat No.:M019453), commonly known as PMEG, is a synthetic antiviral compound. It belongs to the class of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates, which mimic the natural building blocks of DNA. This structure enables PMEG to act as a potent inhibitor of viral DNA polymerases, thereby blocking the replication of viruses. It is particularly effective against cytomegalovirus (CMV) and other herpesviruses, which makes it a candidate for treating infections caused by these pathogens. The phosphonate group confers improved stability and bioavailability compared to other nucleoside analogs, enhancing its therapeutic potential in antiviral therapy.
