Topical docosanol is indicated in the treatment of recurrent oral-facial herpes simplex (fever blisters or cold sores) in adults. /Included in US product labeling/

Docosanol ... has been approved by the US FDA as a 10% ever-the-counter cream for treatment of recurrent orolabial herpes. Docosanol inhibits the in vitro replication of many lipid enveloped viruses, including HSV /(herpes simplex virus)/, at millimolar concentrations. It dose not directly inactivate HSV but appears to block fusion between the cellular and viral envelope membranes and inhibit viral entry into the cell. Topical treatment beginning within 12 hr of prodromal symptoms or lesion onset reduces healing time by about 1 day and appears to be well tolerated. Treatment initiation at papular or later stages provides no benefit. /Docosanol/

For the topical treatment of recurrent oral-facial herpes simplex episodes (cold sores or fever blisters).
FDA Label
Docosanol is a saturated 22-carbon aliphatic alcohol which exhibits antiviral activity against many lipid enveloped viruses including herpes simplex virus (HSV). Docosanol speeds the healing of cold sores and fever blisters on the face or lips. It also relieves the accompanying symptoms, including tingling, pain, burning, and itching. Docosanol cannot, however, prevent cold sores or fever blisters from appearing.
Antiviral Agents
Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly. (See all compounds classified as Antiviral Agents.)

Absorption
Topical absorption has been shown to be minimal under conditions reflecting normal clinical use.
Absorption of docosanol has been shown to be minimal under conditions reflecting normal clinical use. Of 209 plasma samples taken from ten subjects 24 hours after a multi-day test, only one had a docosanol level above the quantitation limits (19 nanograms/mL).

Long chain alcohols were detected in developing rat brain at their highest level of 0.0109% of the total lipids at the age of 10 days and decreased to 0.0036% at the age of 40 days. They consited mainly of hexadecanol, octadecanol, octadecenol, eicosanol, docosanol, and tetracosanol.

A mixture of cis-9[1(-14)C] octadecenol and [1(-14)C] docosanol was injected into the brains of 19-day-old rats, and incorporation of radioactivity into brain lipids was determined after 3, 12, and 24 hr. Both alcohols were metabolized by the brain but at different rates; each was oxidized to the corresponding fatty acid, but oleic acid was more readily incorporated into polar lipids. Substantial amounts of radioactivity were incorporated into 18:1 alkyl and alk-1-enyl moieties of the ethanolamine phosphoglycerides and into 18:1 alkyl moieties of the choline phosphoglycerides. Even after the disappearance of the 18:1 alcohol from the substrate mixture (12 hr), the 22:0 alcohol was not used to any measurable extent for alkyl and alk-1-enylglycerol formation.

The 22-carbon fatty alcohol, n-docosanol, exhibits in vitro antiviral activity against several lipid-enveloped viruses including herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 by a mechanism that interferes with normal viral entry into target cells. We previously reported that mammalian cells incorporate significant quantities of radiolabeled n-docosanol. Herein, we report that cells extensively metabolize the internalized fatty alcohol. This is evidenced by incorporation of up to 60% of cell-associated radiolabel into phospholipids that copurify with phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Analysis by chemical (Vitride) reduction suggests that a significant portion of n-docosanol is oxidized to n-docosanoic acid and then incorporated as an acyl group on polar lipids. A measurable amount of radiolabel, however, is resistant to Vitride reduction, consistent with incorporation of n-docosanol into ether lipids. The rate and extent of metabolic conversion of n-docosanol vary with the cell type and surfactant used to suspend the compound. Furthermore, the anti-HSV activity of n-docosanol is quantitatively proportional to the amount of metabolism observed. These findings suggest that the anti-HSV activity of n-docosanol involves cellular uptake and metabolism of the drug.

Docosanol works by inhibiting fusion between the human cell plasma membrane and the herpes simplex virus (HSV) envelope, thereby preventing viral entry into cells and subsequent viral replication. Unlike other cold-sore antivirals, docosanol does not act directly on the virus, and as such it is unlikely it will produce drug resistant mutants of HSV.
n-Docosanol-treated cells resist infection by a variety of lipid-enveloped viruses including the herpesviruses. Previous studies of the mechanism of action demonstrated that n-docosanol inhibits an event prior to the expression of intermediate early gene products but subsequent to HSV attachment. The studies reported here indicate that n-docosanol inhibits fusion of the HSV envelope with the plasma membrane. Evidence suggests that antiviral activity requires a time-dependent metabolic conversion of the compound. Cellular resistance to infection declines after removal of the drug with a t1/2 of approximately 3 h. Reduced expression of viral genes in n-docosanol-treated cells was confirmed by a 70% reduction in expression of a reporter gene regulated by a constitutive promoter inserted into the viral genome. Inhibited release in treated cells of virion-associated regulatory proteins--an immediate post entry event--was indicated by a 75% reduction in the expression of beta-galactosidase in target cells carrying a stably transfected lacZ gene under control of an HSV immediate--early promoter. Finally, the fusion-dependent dequenching of a lipophilic fluorescent probe, octadecyl rhodamine B chloride, inserted into the HSV envelope was significantly inhibited in treated cells. Inhibition of fusion between the plasma membrane and the HSV envelope, and the subsequent lack of replicative events, may be the predominant mechanism for the anti-HSV activity of n-docosanol.
PMID:9864049 Pope LE et al; Antiviral Res 40 (1-2): 85-94 (1998)
Docosanol reduces viral replication and activity by effectively inhibiting the fusion between the plasma membrane and the herpes simplex virus envelope.
