Antiviral Agents Flashcards
what makes viruses resistant to drugs
AA substitutions in viral proteins
effective agents usually target a viral protein
Anti herpetic Agents
Acyclovir Famcyclovir Valacyclovir Cidofovir foscarnet
idoxuridine
vidarabine
Tx influenza
inhibit entry
( influenza A)
Amantadine
Rimantadine
Tx influenza
inhibit exit
(influenza A + B)
peramivir
zanamivir (intranasal)
oseltamivir
Tx RSV
ribavirin
palivizumab
Tx Aids
NRTIS
(end in)
- dine
lamivudine Zidovudine stavudine didanosine tenofovir (NucleoTIDE-- so doesnt need phosphorylation) abacabir emtricitabine
Tx Aids
NNRTIs
Efavirenz
delavirdin
neviparine
etravirine
Tx AIDs
protease inhibitors
(end in)
- navir
mechanism of NRTIS
Target
nucleoside reverse transcripase inhibitors
- base analog that binds to same exact site as original base and inhibits elongation of DNA strand
nucleoSIDE inhibitors need to be phosphorylated to be activated
Target DNA polymerase (rna dependent DNA polymerase)
Tx Aids *
entry inhibitor
Maravirok —
Tx Aids
fusion inhibitor
enfuvirtide
Tx aids
integrase strand transfer inhibitors
(end in)
- gravir
tx Hep B
NRTIs (BC hep B has a reverse transcription step)
- telbivudine
- lamivudine
IFN a
Tx HPV
immiquimod- topical
gardasil vaccine
Tx Hep C
INF a INF a2b Ribavurun polymerase inhibitor protease inhibitor
