ANTIVIRAL Flashcards
Potent and selective inhibitor of influenza virus neuraminidase enzymes, which are glycoproteins found on the virion surface.
Oseltamivir
Enfuvirtide
Amantadine
Darunavir
Oseltamivir
Binds to the first heptad-repeat (HR1) in the gp41 subunit of the viral envelope glycoprotein and prevents the conformational changes required for the fusion of viral and cellular membranes.
Enfuvirtide
Ritonavir
Nirmatrelvir
Acyclovir
Enfuvirtide
Interferes with a viral protein, M2 (an ion channel), which is needed for the viral particle to become “uncoated” once it is taken inside the cell by endocytosis.
Enfuvirtide
Ritonavir
Amantadine
Foscarnet
Amantadine
A HIV protease inhibitor, prevents HIV replication through binding to the enzyme, stopping the dimerization and the catalytic activity of HIV-1 protease
it inhibits the cleavage of HIV encoded Gag-Pol proteins in cells that have been infected with the virus
Enfuvirtide
Darunavir
Ritonavir
Nirmatrelvir
Darunavir
Potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 isoenzyme present both in the intestinal tract and liver
Enfuvirtide
Darunavir
Ritonavir
Nirmatrelvir
Ritonavir
has higher affinity for viral DNA polymerase than cellular DNA polymerase and incorporates into the DNA where the missing 2’ and 3’ carbons causes DNA chain termination.
competes so strongly for viral DNA polymerase that other bases cannot associate with the enzyme, inactivating it
Acyclovir
Foscarnet
Remdesivir
lamivudine
acyclovir
selective inhibition at the pyrophosphate binding site on virus-specific DNA polymerases at concentrations that do not affect cellular DNA polymerases.
Acyclovir
Foscarnet
Remdesivir
lamivudine
Foscarnet
Directly inhibits viral mRNA polymerase by binding to the nucleotide binding site of the enzyme
demonstrates an inhibitory action on viral mRNA guanylyltransferase and mRNA 2′-O-methyltransferase of dengue virus
Foscarnet
ribavirin
Remdesivir
lamivudine
ribavirin
Binds to the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting viral replication through premature termination of RNA transcription
Foscarnet
ribavirin
Remdesivir
lamivudine
Remdesivir
A synthetic nucleoside analogue and is phosphorylated intracellularly to its active 5’-triphosphate metabolite,
This nucleoside analogue is incorporated into viral DNA by HIV reverse transcriptase and HBV polymerase, resulting in DNA chain termination.
Foscarnet
ribavirin
Remdesivir
lamivudine
lamivudine
Potent inhibitor of the viral reverse transcriptase
Remdesivir
lamivudine
tenofovir
efavirenz
tenofovir
Direct inhibition of the reverse transcriptase enzyme of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1).
It directly binds reverse transcriptase and consequently blocks DNA-dependent and RNA-dependent polymerase activity
Remdesivir
lamivudine
Etravirine
efavirenz
Etravirine
Inhibits HIV integrase to prevent the viral genome being incorporated into the human genome.
Etravirine
Raltegravir
Nucleozin
Interferon
Raltegravir
Targets influenza A nucleoprotein, a multifunctional, RNA-binding protein necessary for virus replication. It induces the formation of nucleoptotein aggregates and inhibits its accumulation, interfering with viral replication
Etravirine
Raltegravir
Nucleozin
Interferon
Nucleozin
Targets and inhibits human host cyclophilins, thereby inhibiting hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in hepatocytes.
Alisporivir
Aplaviroc
Nucleozin
Interferon
Alisporivir
Treatment of acute, uncomplicated illness due to influenza A and B infection in patients 2 weeks of age and older who have been symptomatic for no more than 48 hours
prophylaxis of influenza in patients one year and older
OSELTAMIVIR
S/E OSELTAMIVIR
Nausea, vomiting, psychiatric effects
