Virus

Viral gene defect

Anticancer cDNA

Prodrug> Metabolite

Effect

Reference

HSV1A:  hrR3, MGH1, G207 (Medigene, Inc.)

ICP6 and/or

ICP34.5

TK

Ganciclovir>GCV-Phosphate

Predominant anticancer action in some situations, but increased antiviral action in others (figure 5)

(42-49) .

HSV1: rRp450

ICP6

CYP2B1

Cyclophosphamide> Phosphoramide Mustard

Predominant anticancer action + immunosuppressive effects.

(15)

Adenovirus: FGR

E1B55kD

Fused TK-CD gene

Combination of FGR, GCV, 5FC and radiation shows predominant anticancer action

(50)

HSV1: Fu-10

Unknown

Fusogenic glycoprotein

Not applicable

Enhanced fusion of cell membranes caused by replicating virus increases anticancer effect

(51)

ICP6 and ICP34.5

IL2

Not applicable

At low dose, the mix was more effective than either virus alone

(56)

HSV1: NV1042

Complexc

IL12

Not applicable

Increased anticancer effect

(57)

HSV1: Mix of G207 + Defective HSV-soluble B7-1B

5-fluorocytosine> 5-fluorouracil

Increased effect at low viral dose

(60)

HSV1

ICP34.5

IL4, IL12, IL10

Not applicable

Increased anticancer effect for IL12 and IL4, but antagonistic effect for IL10

(61, 62)
