Q

Amantadine and rimantadine affect M2’s function as an ion channel
(3)

A

Following endocytosis, acidification of endosomes occurs
Then M2 can function as ion channel
Acidification within virion drives viral disassembly

Q

Viral protease:

A

cleaves
viral proteins to their
final mature sizes

22
Q

Viral RNA-dependent RNA

polymerase:

A

viral genome

replication and transcription

23
Q

Hepatitis C virus treatments:

A

Newer 2-drug combination therapies

target specific HCV enzymes

24
Q

Other HCV treatments target

A

viral protease

25
Q

sofosbuvir

A

Inhibitor of RNA-dependent

RNA polymerase

26
Q

sofosbuvir

Inhibitor of

A

RNA-dependent

RNA polymerase

27
Q

Ledipasvir

Inhibitor of

A

RNA-dependent

RNA polymerase

28
Q

Paxlovid =

A

SARS-CoV-2
protease inhibitor: inhibits
production of mature
(cleaved) viral proteins

29
Q

Paxlovid

A — inhibitor

A

peptidomimetic

30
Q

Cidofovir is a relatively broad-spectrum

A

anti-DNA virus drug

31
Q

Cidofovir

inhibits

A

viral DNA

polymerase

32
Q

Cidofovir is a — analog

A

nucleoside

33
Q

Use is mainly limited toc

A 
cytomegalovirus retinitis in
AIDS patients (toxicity limits dosage levels)
34
Q

Anti-HIV drugs:

nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI)

A

Need to be phosphorylated by cellular enzymes before being used by HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) (like acyclovir).
HIV RT uses these analogs and since they lack a 3’ –OH, DNA synthesis (reverse transcription) stops

35
Q

Anti-HIV drugs:

nucleotide analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NtRTI)

A

Act like NRTI but do not need to be phosphorylated (already contain phosphate)

36
Q

Anti-HIV drugs:

nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI)

A

Bind sites on HIV RT enzyme that cause it to stop functioning, blocking reverse transcription

37
Q

Anti-HIV drugs: Protease inhibitors

A

HIV protease cleaves the initial HIV proteins to their final mature sizes
Protease inhibitors attempt to mimic an HIV protease cut site, competitively inhibiting HIV protease

Peptidomimetic inhibitors

38
Q

HAART =

A

highly active antiretroviral therapy

39
Q

HAART = highly active antiretroviral therapy
at least – drugs in combination
– nucleoside inhibitors plus a NNRTI or a protease inhibitor

A

40
Q

Anti-HIV drugs: Integrase inhibitors

A

Blocks integration of HIV dsDNA

into host cell chromosomal DNA

41
Q

Integrase inhibitors

interferes with the

A

strand transfer step

42
Q

Steps of HIV replication/infection that

are targeted by anti-viral therapies (4)

A

entry
reverse transcription
integration
maturation

43
Q

Virus release
Neuraminidase inhibitors - influenza virus
neuraminidase (NA)
(3)

A

release of virus from envelope
cleaves sialic acid (NA has enzymatic activity)
Inhibitors prevent efficient spread of virus from cell to cell

44
Q

Neuraminidase Inhibitors prevent

A

efficient spread of virus from cell to cell

45
Q

A

viral replication within host cells
natural killer cells and macrophages
antigen presentation to lymphocytes

  • Myalgias
48
Q

Effects of interferon therapy

• Formerly (2)

A

main treatment
for hepatitis C Virus
(HCV) infection

used for HBV

49
Q

A

• Purine nucleoside analog
• Inhibits many RNA viruses
and some DNA viruses

50
Q

• Inhibits many RNA viruses
and some DNA viruses
(3)

A
