Q

Characteristics of ALL anti-HBV drugs

A

ALL inhibit HBV polymerase

16
Q

HCV direct acting antivirals: NS5B

A

NS5B DAA = polymerase inhibitors
“P” in Polymerase upside down is “B” for Buvir and for NS5B
Sofosbuvir - nucleotide polymerase inhibitor
Dasabuvir - non-nucleoside/tide polymerase inhibitor (doesn’t require phosphorylation)

17
Q

HCV direct acting antivirals: NS5A

A

“asvir” drug endings

Asvir is 5 letters and begins with an A = NS5A inhibitor

18
Q

HCV direct acting antivirals: NS3/4A

A

NS3/4A = protease inhibitors
“previr”
previr sounds like premiere - I am PRO going to the movie PREMIERE even at 3/4 am.

19
Q

Same Pro-Drug idea:

A

Sofosbuvir and Tenofovir Alafenamide

20
Q

Significant Key Features of HCV direct acting antivirals:

A

ALL have significant DDIs and are contraindicated with inducers of CYP3A4

21
Q

Combo of Sofosbuvir (NS5B polymerase inhibitor) and Amiodorone can cause:

A

Bradycardia

22
Q

Regimens with Ledipasvir (NS5A inhibitor) or Velpatasvir (NS5A inhibitor) - absorption is affected by:

A

decreased absorption when taken with antacids, H2R antagonists, and PPIs

23
Q

Technivie and VieKira are HCV DAA that contain:

A

Ritonavir (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor)

Caution when using with meds dependent on CYP3A4 metabolism

24
Q

Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1)

A
no vaccine
infected for life
combo therapy - sustained viral suppression is critical
infects immune cells and destroys CD-4
single strand - think mRNA
25
Q

Anti-HIV drug CLASSES

A

ENNIP

entry inhibitors
nucleoside/tide RT inhibitors
non-nucleoside/tide RT inhibitors
integrase inhibitors (tegravir)
protease inhibitors (navir)
26
Q

Anti-HIV drugs (ENNIP): Entry inhibitors

MOA: Designed to

A

Designed to block HIV-1 entry

Fostemsavir: (PO) binds to gp120 and prevents binding to CD4
Maravoric: (PO) CCR5 antagonist that prevents gp120 CD4 complex from binding to CCR5
Ibalizumab: (IV) prevents gp120 CD4 complex binding to CCR5 or CXCR4 - used for heavily treatment experienced patients only
Enfuviritide: (SC) prevents HIV fusion with Tcell membrane - used for heavily treatment experienced patients only

27
Q

Anti-HIV drugs (ENNIP): nucleoside/tide RTIs
MOA:
Key features:

A

MOA: COMPETITIVELY inhibits HIV RT and requires phosphorylation
Drugs:
Abacovir (side) - may cause hypersensitivity
Emtricitabine (side) - may cause hyperpigmentation
Lamivudine (side)
Zidovudine (side) - may cause bone marrow suppression and is used IV for laboring moms to prevent transfer
Tenofovir disoproxil (tide)
Tenofovir alafenamide (tide)
Key features:
NO CYP DDIs
REQUIRE renal dose adjustment
Boxed warning: lactic acidosis and hepatomegaly

28
Q

Anti-HIV drugs (ENNIP): Non-nucleoside/tide RTIs
MOA:
Drugs:

Q

New Flu drug - Cap-dependent Endonuclease

A

Viral RNA polymerase binds to cap of host pre-mRNA, cuts it off, and uses it to initiate viral synthesis.

Baloxavir marboxil - inhibits endonuclease activity of RNA polymerase and prevents cap-snatching
