AIDS drugs Flashcards
Zidovudine is what type of drug
NRTI
Zidovudine mechanism
thymidine nucleoside analogue that is phosp by cellular kinase to active form ( tri-Ps)
inhibits reverse transcriptase
early terminator for DNA
Side effects of Zidovudine
Bone marrow suppression
avoid drugs that inhibit glycuronyl transferase
myopathy
thymidine nucleoside analogue that is phosp by cellular kinase to active form ( tri-Ps)
inhibits reverse transcriptase
early terminator for DNA
Zidovudine
Drugs that inhibit glucuronidation of AZT will increase:
hematologic toxicity of AZT~~ more drugs head down path that creates toxic amines leading to bone marrow suppresion
Mech of Lamivudine
Nucleoside analog inhibitor of reverse transcriptase; must be phosphorylated
Use of Lamivudine
synergistic with AZT of Zidovudine
Lambs are docile adn get along well with others
Side effect of Lamivudine
nauseua and diarhhea
you ate Lamb and it gave you these but IG this is a dociel nice drug and works well with others
General mech of NRTIs
Nucleoside analogues that need to be phosphrotyalted to be active
competitive inhibitors of RT
Cause DNA chain termination when incorporated into DNA
Tenofovir is a
NRTI, WELL tolerated
Tenofovir is like AZT because
inhibits RT by competing with dATP for incorporation into DNA, resulting in chain termination
Tenofovir unlike AZT because
nucleotide prodrug that is hydrolyzed to tenofovir phosphonate; further phosphorylated
NRTI prodrug
Tenofovir
fluorinated analog of 3TC that inhibits RT by competing for dCTP incorporation
into DNA, resulting in chain termination
Emtricitabine
Emtricitabine
flourinated analog of 3TC (lamivudine)
inhibits RT by competing dCTP incorporation~ early chain termination
Emtricitabine inhibts RT by competing _____ incorporation
dCTP
Tenofovir inhibits RT by competing with _______ for incorporation into DNA
dATP
“a Ten out of Ten gets an ‘A” for dATP”
Emtricitabine has simular mechanism and resistance as 3TC but a ______ 1/2 life
longer
This NRTI has some activity against Hep B
EMtricitabine EM was FLOORED when she TRIed to get rid of Hep B but couldn't so she got a "C" (for dCTP) (FLOORED for flourinated of 3TC) EM and TRied for emtricitabine
Emtricitabine uses:
NRTI combo therapy drug
Abacavir
NRTI: nucleoside analog inhibitor of RT and phosphorylated by cell enZ to active drug
Adverse effect of Abacavir (NRTI)
Hypersensitity in those with 5701 HLA-B allele
