Antiviral Flashcards
Infection of cells by virus
Attachment
Methods of penetration (3)
Incorporation of DNA/RNA
Self assembly
Release
- Viral cell surface glycoproteins bind to host
- Injection of viral core through the cell membtrane using enzymes (less relevant for treatment)
- Entry of virion by one envelope with the plamsa membrane (fusion)
- Endocytosis
- Early genes, Late Genes
- Produce multiple copies of the virus for export
How do viruses hijack?
- Hijacking host cells, viruses have to convert vDNA/vRNA into host DNA/RNA
- For synthesis of new viral particls, must convert host DNA/RNA into vRNA/vDNA
- Interference with DNA/RNA replication cycles blocks the spread of viruses
- Many drugs interfere with these processes (viral polymerases/reverse transcriptase)
Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease
Leading cause?
Looks like a?
Treatment?
- Lower respiratory tract infections
- COLD
- Ribavirin and Palivizumab
Common structure of Nucleoside based antivirals?
Ribavirin
Activated?
Spectrum?
MOA?
Low?
Forms?
AEs?
- Activated via viral kinase
- Broad- DNA and RNA viruses (RSV, Influenza A+B, HIV, HHV, HCV)
- Intracellular tiphosphorylation and inhibition of virus specific DNA and RNA polymerases
- Resistance is low to susceptible viruses
- PO, IV, aerosol
- Minor GI complaints
MOA of Nucleoside Analogues
Activations + kinases?
Selectivity?
Resistance?
- Phosphorylation at 5-OH
- Viral kinases, viral polymerases differ with human
- Mutation of kinase
- Mutation at polymerase
Mechanism of nucleosides
Palivizumab, is used for?
- Prevention of RSV
- Injectable MAB (monoclonal antibody)
- Premature births, chronic lung disease, congenital heart disease
Influenza is caused by?
An RNA virus
Three species spread (Fowl–>Pig–> human)
Influenza
RNA polymerase
Neuraminidase
Hemaglutinin
M2
Antigenic Drift and Shift
Genes that are mostly involved?
Amantadine and Rimantadine
MOA
ADME
T1/2
Metabolism and excretion
Neuraminidase inhibitors do what?
- Mimic the transition state of Sialic acid
NA inhibitors
Names
Which ones work best for what? Which one is available in oral?
Potency in relation to pocket?
- Oseltamivir
- Zanamivir
- Peramivir
- Oseltamivir is a prodrug ethyl gets cleaved to reveal carboxylic acid only oral drug
- Guanidine group on Zana and Pera decrease oral availability
- Osel and Pera both have hydrophobic portions on the 6 C so they interact better with hydrophobic pocket.
Herpes Virus
Cycle
A DNA virus
Human Herpes virus classifications
Cycle drug therapeutic strategy
No cure fo the latent stage
Herpes substructure MOA 3
Changes allow drug to be seen by viral not host
Acylovir and Valacyclovir
MOA? Interferes with?
Selectivity?
Targets?
Low?
Interference with viral nucleic acid replication
MOA
Activation, Selectivity, Targets
Viral kinase- selectivity
Oxidation inactivates drug
Low F
Acylcovir
How does it terminate?
- Is added to chain elongation
- Then at the 3’ position does not contain OH stops elongation
Acylcovir has low toxicity what are the 3 factors that contribute to this?
Acylcovir and Valacyclovir
