Intravenous acyclovir (ACV) is the standard treatment, but its central nervous system (CNS) penetration is not fully understood. To evaluate the distribution of ACV in various CNS compartments in a porcine pharmacokinetic model, 12 female pigs were divided into two groups: group I receiving a single ACV dose (10 mg\/kg) and group II receiving three doses over 24 h. Microdialysis sampled unbound ACV concentrations in cortical and subcortical extracellular fluid (ECF), ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and cisternal CSF. The ACV target concentration was defined as peak concentration (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">f<\/jats:italic>\n                      C\n                      <jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) \u202f&gt;\u202finhibitory concentration 50% (IC\n                      <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) for HSV-1 at 0.56 \u00b5g\/mL.

In conclusion, ACV administered intravenously at 10 mg\/kg every eighth hour achieved therapeutic levels in porcine CNS compartments after the second dose, suggesting that current dosing regimens are effective in treating HSV encephalitis. However, the first dose may not reach therapeutic levels, suggesting that higher initial dosages or prolonged infusions should be considered. Further studies under inflammatory conditions are warranted to extrapolate these findings.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/aac.01811-24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,9]],"date-time":"2025-07-09T13:40:42Z","timestamp":1752068442000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Distribution of acyclovir in central nervous system compartments: a porcine pharmacokinetic model"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"69","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8135-561X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"T.","family":"Mariager","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02jk5qe80","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, Aalborg University Hospital","place":["Aalborg, Denmark"]},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02jk5qe80","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Aalborg University Hospital","place":["Aalborg, Denmark"]},{"name":"The ESCMID Study Group for Infectious Diseases of the Brain (ESGIB), European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases","place":["Basel, Switzerland"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1034-3981","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.
