Description

Aphidicolin, an antibiotic derived from the mold Cephalosporium aphidicola, is a potent inhibitor of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) synthesis, effectively hindering the proliferation of herpes simplex virus[2]. It targets DNA polymerase α and δ, disrupting mitotic cell division by affecting DNA polymerase activity[1]. Additionally, aphidicolin enhances apoptosis when combined with arabinosyl nucleosides in a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line[3].
