Flucytosine (Ancobon) Class
Nucleic acid synthesis inhibitor
Trimethoprim MOA
inhibits dihydrofolic acid reduction to tetrahydrofolate resulting in sequential inhibition of enzymes of the folic acid pathway
Sulfamethoxazole MOA
interferes with bacterial folic acid synthesis and growth via inhibition of dihydrofolic acid formation from paraaminobenzoic acid (PABA)
Isoniazid (INH) MOA
binds to and inhibits enzymes necessary for mycobacterium cell wall synthesis
Rifampin MOA
inhibits mRNA synthesis in bacteria
Pyrazinamide MOA
unknown; it is known to be bacteriocidal when used in combination with IHN, rifampin, and ethambutol
Ethambutol MOA
inhibits enzyme that is involved with mycobacterium cell wall synthesis
Acyclovir (Zovirax) MOA
Binding to enzymes produce inactive compounds, which stop nucleic acid synthesis
Ganciclovir (Zirgan) MOA
Binding to enzymes produce inactive compounds, which stop nucleic acid synthesis
Foscarnet (Foscavir) MOA
Binding to enzymes produce inactive compounds, which stop nucleic acid synthesis; highly ionized (no oral utility, renal excretion)
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) MOA
Prevent viral release from host cells
Zidovudine (Retrovir/AZT) MOA
Inhibits reverse transcriptase
Efavirenz (Sustiva/EFV) MOA
bind directly to reverse transcriptase and inhibit its action
Ritonavir (Norvir/RTV) MOA
bind within active pocket of protease, inhibiting binding of virus
Enfurvitide (Fuzeon/T20) MOA
prevents fusion of virus into host cell
Raltegravir (Isentress) MOA
necessary for insertion of viral DNA into human genomic DNA
