Antiviral - HIV Flashcards
NRTI MOA
Competitive inhibition of reverse transcriptase by incorporating itself into DNA and cause premature chain termination
NRTI adverse effect?
Lactic acidosis
NRTI suffix
-dine
Lamivudine adverse
Peripheral neuropathy
Lamivudine treament
Hepatitis B infection
Tenofovir
Nucleotide analogue, does not need phosphorylation and treats Hep B
Zidovudine
Nucleoside analogue used during pregnancy to reduce vertical transmission
Zidovudine adverse
Myelosuppression
Granulocytopenia
Lipodystrophy
Staviduine adverse
Nucleoside analogue that can cause peripheral neuropathy
Didanosine adverse
Can cause dose dependent pancreatitis
Abacavir adverse
Hypersensitivity reaction (type 4) associated with HLA-B57
Emtricitabine adverse
Hyperpigmentation of palms and soles
Do nucleotide or nucleoside analogues need to be phosphorylated?
Nucleoside
These end with the suffix -dine
NNRTIs
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
NNRTI MOA
Do not need to be phosphorylated to bind directly to HIV reverse transcriptase causing chain termination
