Diacetylacyclovir is a lipophilic prodrug of acyclovir designed to enhance oral bioavailability. Its core synthesis involves the diacetylation of the hydroxyl groups on the acyclovir molecule. Molecular Formula: C10H14N5O4; CAS No: 72983-23-6.
Requires storage below 25°C in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Handling demands appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection due to potential irritancy. Clinical use is restricted strictly to veterinary applications or specific research contexts; human therapeutic approval remains limited compared to standard acyclovir.
