inhibits cell wall snthesis
62
What are the side effects of antifungals?
GI upset
63
Why doe ketoconazaole ann flucon interact with many drugs?
because they are a p450 inhibitor
64
How does aciclovir work?
Aciclovir is converted by viral thymidine kinase to aciclovir monophosphate, which is then converted by host cell kinases to aciclovir triphosphate (ACV-TP). ACV-TP, in turn, competitively inhibits and inactivates DNA polymerases and incorporates itself into viral DNA chain. It has extremely low toxicity for the normal host cells. This selectivity is due to the ability of these viruses to code for a viral thymidine kinase capable of phosphorylating acyclovir to a monophosphate; this capability is essentially absent in uninfected cells.
