Q

mechanism of NRTIS

Target

A

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)

23
Q

foscarnet tx

A

CMV retinitis in immunocompromised

24
Q

ribavirin type

A

purine nucleoside analog

tx RSV Hep C

25
Q

Zidovudine

A

NRTI

base analog that is phosphorylated by thymidine kinase

26
Q

adverse effects of NRTIs

A

granulocytopenia and anemia (bone marrow suppresion)

27
Q

special about tenofovir and adenovir

A

NucleoTIDE analogs– dont need t be phosphorylated

28
Q

mechanism of NNRTIs

A

bind on viral RT in an area near to NRTIS (allosteric site) dont need phosphorylation to be active

29
Q

mechanism of protease inhibitors

A

HiV aspartate protease inhibitor

inhibits cleavage of protein precursors that generate structural proteins and enzymes of virus (that are used in the packing of new virus)

30
Q

protease inhibitors (aids) contraindicated with>?

A

RIFAMPIN

31
Q

For non specific viral infections what do you give

A

INF a INF B

Referon wellferon intron A

32
Q

Mechanism of Hep C direct acting antivirals

A

Stop replication viA inhibition of RNA polymerase (rna directed rna polymerase

33
Q

Ribavirin mechanism

A

Prevents capping of viral mrna

34
Q

Amantadine
Rimantadine
mechanism

A

preventing uncoating via inhibition of M2 protein (heme agluttininn mediated)

35
Q

Peramavir
Oseltamivir
Zanamivir

mechanism

A

inhibit neuraminidase thats important for viral replication

36
Q

Palimizuvab

mechanism

A
  • (monoclonal antibody- against F glycoprotein of RSV surface)
37
Q

Maravirok

mechanism

A

binds to the CCR5 coreceptor on host (CD4) (with gp 120)
preventing binding and entry of virus into CD4 cell

Entry inhibitor

38
Q

Enfuvirtide

mechanism

A

binds to GP41 [makes the envelope] preventing the binding/ fusion of HIV to cellular membrane

Fusion inhibitor

39
Q

Immiquimod

Mechanism

A

immune response modifier – just destroys warts (hpv)
