Antiviral Agents Flashcards
Guanosine analog active against HSV 1 and 2 and Varicella zoster virus
Activated initially by the viral kinase
Acyclovir
Acyclovir is actiavted intially activated by the viral kinase to form_________
Acyclovir triphosphate
2 ways acyclovir interferes with viral synthesis
- Competitive substrate for DNA polymerase
- Chain termination after its incorporation into vital DNA
prodrug convertd to acyclovir by heaptic metabolism after oral adminsitration and reaches plasma levels 3-5 times greater than those achieved acyclovir
Valacyclovir
Undergoes activation by viral thymidine kinase and the triphostphate form inhibits DNA polymerase BUT does not cause chain termiantion
Penciclovir
prodrug converted to penciclovir by first pass metabolism in the liver
Famciclovir
alipathic alcohol that inhibits fusion between the HSV envelope and plasma membranes.
Docosanol
- Prevents viral entry and subsequent replication.
- Topically, shortens healing time
guanine derivative, triphosphorylated to form a nucleotide that inhibits DNA polymerases of CMV and HSV and cause chain termination
Ganciclovir
- An intraocular implant form of ganciclovir can be used in CMV retinitis
Prodrug of ganciclovir, has high bioavailabity
Valganciclovir
phosphonate and is activated exclusively by host cell kinases. The active diphosphonate inhibits DNA polymerase of HSV, CMV and adenovirus and HPV,
Cidofovir
- Effective against CMV retinitis in mucocutaneous HSV
- Nephrotoxicity is the major dose limiting toxicity
phosphonoformate derivative that does not require phosphorylation for antiviral activity. Not an antimetabolite, inhibits RNA polymerase, DNA polymerase, and HIV reverse transcriptase
Foscarnet
- penetrates well into tissue, including CNS
- inhibits herpese DNA polymerase in acyclovir resistant strains that are thymidine kinase deficient
- Nephrotoxic
- hypocalcemia
adenine analog and has activity against HSV, VZV, and CMV. Used topically for herpes keratitis but has no effeect on genital lesions.
VIdarabine
Pyrimidine analogs used topically in HSV1. Too toxic for systemic use
Idoxuridine and trifluridine
antisense oligonucleotide that binds to mRNA of CMV, inhibiting early protein synthesis. THe drug is injected intravitreally for treatment of CMV retinitis
Fomivirsen
- causes iritis, vitreatis, increased intraocular pressure and changes in vision
Prototype drug of Nucleoside reverse transcriptae inhibitors
Zidovudine
Prototype drug of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
Delabirdine
Protoype drug for Protease inhibitors
Indinavir
Prototype of CCR-5 antagonist
Maraviroc
Prototype drug of fusion inhibitors
Enfuvirtide
Abacavir
Guanosine analog. Good oral bioavailability
Dose limiting effect of didanosine
Pancreatitis
Didanosine bioavailability is reduced by _________________
food and by chelating agents
Dose limiting effect of stavudine
Peripheral neuropathy
Nucleotide that acts like NRTIs to competitively inhibit reverse transcriptase
Tenofovir
_______ increases the clearance of zidovudine
Rifampin
Primary toxicity of zidovudine
Bone marrow suppresion
