Foscarnet is an antiviral drug primarily used to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) associated retinitis in patients with AIDS and acyclovir-resistant herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections in immunocompromised individuals. It is especially essential when standard antiviral treatments such as acyclovir or ganciclovir fail due to viral resistance.

Foscarnet does not require activation by viral enzymes, unlike other antiviral agents. It acts by blocking the pyrophosphate-binding site of viral DNA polymerase, inhibiting viral DNA synthesis without affecting normal cellular DNA polymerases. This unique, non-nucleoside pyrophosphate analog mechanism gives Foscarnet potent activity against herpesviruses, including CMV, HSV, and varicella-zoster virus (off label treatment) and HIV.

Clinically, Foscarnet is FDA-approved for treating CMV retinitis in patients with AIDS who cannot tolerate or have failed ganciclovir therapy, and as a salvage therapy in resistant CMV infections and for mucocutaneous HSV infections unresponsive to acyclovir in immunocompromised patients.

Foscarnet’s key advantage lies in its distinct mechanism of action, making it effective against drug-resistant herpesvirus strains. This makes it the drug of choice for managing severe, resistant CMV and HSV infections in vulnerable, immunocompromised patients.
