ANTI RETROVIRAL DRUGS Flashcards
Classes of antiretrovirals
CCR5 co-receptor antagonists fusion inhibitors nucleoside analogs (NRTIs) non-nucleoside analogs (NNRTIs) integrase inhibitors protease inhibitors
CCR5 inhibitor
maraviroc
maraviroc moa
interferes with entry of HIV1 into cells by binding CCR5 receptor and blocking the interaction between HIV gp120 and CCR5
maraviroc metabolism
not an inhibitor or inducer of cyp3A4, but concentration altered by co administration of drugs that are
maraviroc tox
allergic reactions
rash, hypersensativity
marviroc limitations
requires viral tropism assay for resistance screening
fusion inhibitors
enfuvirtide
enfurvirtide moa
inhibits fusion of viral and cellular membranes
prevents conformational changes by binding to gp41
enfurvirtide metabolism
no interactions
no renal/hepatic adjustment
enfurvirtide tox
SC injection–> injection site rxn
bacterial pneumonia
hypersensativity rxn
mutations have developed in gp41–>resistance
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs)
Zidovudine Didanosine Stavudine Lamivudine Abacavir Tenofovir Emtricitabine
NRTIs moa
Triphosphorylated intracellularly to active form, tenofovir diphos by thymidine kinase
compete with natural nucleosides and terminate the growing DNA chain
NRTIs metabolism/interaction
Zidovudine antagonizes phosphorylation of Stavudine- DONT USE TOGETHER
Dose reduce didanosine when given with tenofovir
NRTI class tox
mitochodrial tox with lactic acidosis and hepatic steatosis
lipodystrophy/fat atrophy
hepatoxicity
zidovudine tox
bone marrow suppression
GI distress
megaloblastic anemia
lactic acidosis
