Phosphonoacetic Acid（Cat No.:I018070）is a high-purity antiviral agent widely used in biochemical and virology research. It functions as a selective inhibitor of DNA polymerases, particularly targeting viral DNA synthesis. Phosphonoacetic Acid is commonly studied for its efficacy against herpesviruses, including herpes simplex virus (HSV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). By disrupting viral replication, it provides valuable insights into polymerase activity and antiviral mechanisms. Its specificity and stability make it a reliable tool for exploring viral pathogenesis, resistance mechanisms, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies in antiviral drug discovery.
