Antiretrovirals Flashcards
What does NRTI stand for?
Nucelotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor
List three NRTIs.
Abacavir
Zidovudine
Lamivudine
Emtricitabine
What is the MOA of the NRTIs?
Analogs of nucleotides that inhibit nucleotide binding to REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE and cause DNA chain termination
What are the adverse effects common to the NRTIs?
1) Lactic acidosis
2) Fatty liver disease
3) Lipodystrophy
What does NNRTI stand for?
Non-Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
List three NNRTIs
Nevirapine (NVP)
Etravirine (ETR)
Efavirenz (EFV)
What is the MOA of the NNRTIs?
Binds to Reverse Transcriptase a site OTHER THAN THE ACTIVE SITE and inhibits the enzyme
What are the adverse effects common to the NNRTIs?
Hepatoxicity
Rash (StevensJohnson Syndrome)
Drug Interactions
What does PI stand for?
Protease Inhibitors (PIs)
List three PIs
Ataznavir (ATV
Darunavir (DRV)
Indinavir (IDV)
What are the adverse effects common to the PIs
Hyperlipidemia
Lipodystrophy
Hepatotoxcity
Drug-Drug interactions
What is the MOA of PIs?
Block the protease necessary for maturation of virion proteins
What does II stand for?
Integrase Inhibitors
List three IIs
Dolutegravir (DTG)
Raltegravir (RAL)
Ellvitegravir/cobicistat (EVG/c)
What is the MOA of IIs?
Inhibit viral integration into the host genome
