Antiviral Drugs Flashcards
Anti-herpes virus Agents
Acyclovir Valacyclovir Ganciclovir Valganciclovir Cidofovir Foscarnet Trifluridine
Anti-herpes virus Agents: Acyclovir
Anti-Metabolites: inhibit host polymerases
HSV infections
Activation by Viral Thymidine Kinase
Manage, not cure*
Anti-herpes virus Agents: Valacyclovir
Anti-Metabolites
HSV infections
Prodrug; better oral bioavailability
Manage, not cure*
Anti-herpes virus Agents:
Ganciclovir
Anti-Metabolites
CMV infections
more toxic
Ph. By viral kinase
Anti-herpes virus Agents:
Valganciclovir
Anti-Metabolites
CMV infections
prodrug; better oral bioavailability
Ph. By viral kinase
Anti-herpes virus Agents:
Cidofovir
Competitive inhibitor of Viral DNA synthesis
CMV infections (CMV retinitis)
phosphorylated; for resistant strains
nucleotide
Nephrotoxicity + Tubular Secretion: Must be administered with Probenecid
Anti-herpes virus Agents:
Foscarnet
Direct inhibition of viral polymerases
HSV and CMV infections (Ganciclovir R CMV and Acyclovir R HSV, VZV)
phosphorylated; for resistant strains
A Pyrophosphate
Anti-herpes virus Agents:
Trifluridine
Competes with TTP
inhibits DNA synthesis
primary keratoconjunctivitis and recurrent epithelial keratitis caused by HSV I and II
Activated by Host Kinase (NO viral kinase is required)
Anti-HIV Agents
Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTI)
HIV Protease Inhibitors (“-navir”)
Fusion Inhibitor
Integrase Strand transfer Inhibitors (INSTI) (“-gravir”)
CCR5 Antagonist
HAART
Anti-HIV Agents
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Zidovudine/Azidothymidine (AZT)
Thymidine Analog; Substrate for/inhibitor of HIV RT
Inhibits stable infection of new cells
temporarily reduces morbidity/mortality from HIV; use in 3-4 multidrug cocktail
Resistance develops due to mutations in RT
Well absorbed from GI tract; rapidly metabolized and excreted; half-life = 1-3 hours
common, may be severe; bone marrow depression; toxicity enhanced by drugs that compete for glucuronidation (acetaminophen)
Anti-HIV Agents
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Lamivudine
Also used to Tx Hep B
Safe in Pregnant Women
Anti-HIV Agents
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Abacavir
HLA B5701
Metabolized by Alcohol Dehydrogenase
Anti-HIV Agents
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Tenofovir disproxil
used when you have resistance to other agents; Hep. B
Used in combo with Emtricitabine
Nucleotide
Anti-HIV Agents
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Emtricitabine
Flourinated Lamivudine, used with Tenofovir
Anti-HIV Agents
Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTI)
Nevirapine
Non-competitive RT inhibitor, binds near but not in active side
can be active against AZT-resistant HIV
Rapid emergence of resistance - used in combo therapy
CYP3A4 substrate and inducer
severe, possibly life-threatening skin rash- SJS
Anti-HIV Agents
Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTI)
Efavirenz
Non-competitive RT inhibitor, binds near but not in active side
Anti-HIV Agents
Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTI)
Etravirine
Non-competitive RT inhibitor, binds near but not in active side
Anti-HIV Agents
Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTI)
Rilpivirine
Non-competitive RT inhibitor, binds near but not in active side
Anti-HIV Agents
HIV Protease Inhibitors (“-navir”)
Saquinavir
Inhibits the action of HIV protease, which cleaves the translated polyprotein to yield active individual proteins
Prevent viral particle production - added, synergistic activity
DDIs; resistance develops slowly; use in combo with RT inhibitors
Extensive first-pass effect (CYP3A4)-Administered with a PK booster
altered body fat distribution, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance (buffalo hump, gynecomastia, truncal obesity, facial wasting); Cushingoid effects
