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)

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.

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?

HIV

HIV targets
4
- Block HIV docking with 120 and 41 gp
- Reverse transcriptase
- HIV protease
- HIV integrase
Inhibiton of HIV reverse transcriptase
NRTIs and NNRTIs
Zidovudine

NRTI
No OH at 3’ so you virus cannot replicate
activation via phosphorylation
SOme NRTIs

Toxicities related to NRTIs
Class toxicity?
3
Prevent body frrom producing?
Increase and cause?
Accumulations?
What drugs dont have these?
- NRTIs inhibiting DNA γ-polymerase à disrupt β-oxidation, the Kreb’s cycle, and transcription of essential enzymes needed for ATP production
- Increased triglycerides cause hepatic steatosis.
- Lactic acid accumulates more rapidly than it can be excreted by the kidney. (Lactic acidosis)
Lamivudine and Emtricabine are Enantiomers you can tell by the structure and this gives them less toxicity because the viruse recognizes them but the host doesnt

NRTIS
Class toxicty
Decreased toxicity
- Fatal lactic acidosis, and hepatic steatosis
- Inverted steriochemistry decreases toxicity (kinase selectivity)
NNRTIs
All available in what form?
Induce, inhibit or substrates of?
Highly optimized DMPK properties?
All orally bioavailable

Inhibitors of HIV integrase
MOA?
Interactions with what other drugs?

INSTIs
- Chelate catalytic metal in integration which inhibits the insertion of viral DNA into the host DNA
- Actie against HIV strains resistant to other antiretroviral drugs (combo therapy)
- PO, interasctions with some NRTIs (glucuronidation), and rifampin (CYP3A4)
- Optimized PK and SE profiles
- Metal interaction and absorption
- Optimized PK and SE profiles
HIV protease as a target for Therapy?
- The protease cleaves specific peptide bonds by addition of water (hydrolysis)
- HIV protease is an enzyme crucial for post-translational modification of immature core proteins into structural proteins
- PI- Core proteins of HIV-1 are produced as part of long polypeptides that are cut into smaller pieces by proteaseto create functional and mature proteins. With the inhibition of protease, new viral particles cannot mature and do not become infectous
Mechanism of HIV protease
what is the key step that is mimiced
Protease Inhibitors mimic the transition state

Inhibition of HIV protease by ligand with non-cleavable bonds
Side Chains?
Amide vs 2ndary OH
Transition state?

- Alter potency, selectivity, and PK properties
- Binding interactions ar active site, non-cleavable
- Absolute configuration is vital for action
HIV protease inhibitors

These molecules are? and Contain?
So there is lots of?
- These are very greasy molecules and peptides, so lots of protease metabolize them and CYP450s metabolize lipids

Combination drug therapy for HIV in 2015
- “An ARV regimen generally consists of two NRTIs (one of which is FTC or 3TC) plus an INSTI, NNRTI, or PKenhanced PI. Selection of a regimen should be individualized on the basis of virologic efficacy, potential adverse effects, pill burden, dosing frequency,
- Combinations consider cross resistance within classes it is common but not between classes
- So chemotherapy combines classes
