We developed a rapid and simple method for the screening of antiviral agents against herpes simplex virus (HSV) in a model of gastrointestinal herpetic infection in vitro. This method was based on inhibition of HSV‐induced cytopathogenicity in gastric adenocarcinoma MKN‐28 cells, as monitored by an MTT colorimetric assay. From the various compounds that were evaluated for their activity against HSV‐1 and HSV‐2, brivudine (BVDU) emerged as the most effective. When the 50% effective concentration (EC50) values of the antiherpes agents in MKN‐28 cells were compared with those in human embryo lung MRC‐5 cells, all compounds, except for BVDU, showed higher EC50 values in MKN‐28 cells. For BVDU the EC50 values in MKN‐28 cells were 0.8 (HSV‐1) and 0.036 (HSV‐2) times the EC50 values in MRC‐5 cells. Thus BVDU was 27.5 times more active against HSV‐2 in MKN‐28 cells than in MRC‐5 cells. The MKN‐28 gastric cancer cells may be useful for the rapid screening of anti‐HSV agents and, in particular, those that may be useful in therapy of gastrointestinal HSV infections in gastrointestinal herpetic infection.
