  <description>Ganciclovir is an organic compound with the formula C9H13N5O4 and an average molecular weight of 255.23 g/mol. Ganciclovir belongs to the purines and purine derivatives, a subclass of imidazopyrimidines within the organic compounds. This substance is identified as an organoheterocyclic compound.

The compound is found in or released from five recorded sources, including antennas in electrical and electronic equipment, drinking water in drinking water and water supply, and antivirals, antiinfectives, and antibiotics within healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products. Recorded exposure routes for ganciclovir include oral, ophthalmic, intravitreal, intraventricular, intravenous, and inhalation. Regarding its biological activity, two protein targets are recorded: thymidine kinase (TK) and the DNA polymerase catalytic subunit, for which ganciclovir acts as an inhibitor or substrate.</description>
