The effect of an extensive prophylactic antimicrobial regimen was prospectively assessed in 126 patients after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous PBSC. They received ciprofloxacin (500 mg/12 h), acyclovir (200 mg/6 h), and itraconazole (200 mg/12 h) orally until neutrophil recovery. Febrile patients received i.v. imipenem (500 mg/6 h) to which vancomycin and amikacin were added if fever persisted for 2-3 and 5 days, respectively. Amphotericin B lipid complex was further given on day 7 or 8 of fever. Median times for a neutrophil count of >0.5 x 10(9)/l and a platelet count of >20 x 10(9)/l were 9 and 11 days. Severe neutropenia (<0.1 x 10(9)/l) lasted for a median of 5 days in which 72% of febrile episodes and 50% of cases of bacteremia occurred. Gram-positive bacteria were isolated in 30 of 40 episodes of bacteremia, 25 of which were caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis. Clinical foci were the intravascular catheter in 35 cases, respiratory infection in 11, cellulitis in two, anal abscess in one, and neutropenic enterocolitis in one. The high incidence of febrile episodes (94%) and bacteremias (31%) may be due to the lack of efficacy of antimicrobial prophylaxis and the persistence of a 5-day period of severe neutropenia.

A novel synthesis of mappicine ketone, which possesses strong selective activity against the herpes viruses HSV-1 and HSV-2, including those Acyclovir-resistant, and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been efficiently accomplished. The synthesis highlights a new pyridone approach that effectively combines a double, intramolecular Michael addition in a conjugated ester-conjugated amide with oxidation-decarboxylation of the resulting piperidone.

Of a series of new guanine base modified tricyclic analogues of acyclovir (ACV, 1) and ganciclovir (GCV, 2), derivatives of the 3,9-dihydro-9-oxo-5H-imidazo[1,2-a]purine system, evaluated for activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2, several fluorescent analogues, 6-(4-MeOPh)-TACV (8), 7-Me-6-Ph-TACV (17), 6-(4-MeOPh)-TGCV (27), and 7-Me-6-Ph-TGCV (28), were obtained that showed similar potency and selectivity as the parent compounds. The activity was found to be strongly dependent on the nature and steric demands of the substituents in the 6 and/or 7 position.
