Q

Why might a patient need multiple treatments with acyclovir?

A

Q

Ribivarin MOA

A

monophosphorylase inhibits IMP dehydrogenase, triphosphorylated inhibits viral RNA polymerase

19
Q

Ribivarin SE

A

hematotoxic, upper airway irritation, teratogenic!

20
Q

Ribivarin use

A 
adjunct to alpha interferon 
Hep C
RSV
Lassa fever
hantavirus
21
Q

What is an NRTI?

A 
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor
pro-drugs
chain terminators
activated by nonspecific kinases
use with protease inhib. --> HAART
22
Q

What is HAART?

A

highly active acute retroviral therapy

uses NRTI + protease inhibitor

23
Q

What is the moa of NRTIS?

A

competes with natural nucleotides to inhibit reverse transcriptase and can also be incorporated into DNA to cause chain termination

*all work in the same way just with different base analogs

24
Q

NRTI resistance?

A

mutation in gene for reverse transcriptase

there isn’t complete cross resistance between different NRTIs

25
Q

Zidovudine

A

NRTI

SE: bone marrow suppression (SEVERE), headaches, fatigue, myalgias

26
Q

Other names for Zidovudine

A

Azidothymidine, ZDV, AZT

27
Q

Didanosine names and SE

A

DD1

SE: pancreatitis, peripheral neuropathy

28
Q

Abacavire

A

NRTI
SE–> allergies
aka: ABC

29
Q

zalcitabine

A 
NRTI
aka: DDC
SE: peripheral neuropathy
pancreatitis
*don't combine with didanosine
30
Q

lamivudine

A

NRTI
aka: 3TC
SE: least toxic, some GI sx
also used in Hep B

31
Q

Emtricitabine

A

newer, more active version of lamivudine

aka FTC

32
Q

Stavudine

A

NRTI
aka: D4T
dont use with AZT because they have the same base analog
Se: myelosuppression, peripheral neuropathy

33
Q

NNRTI

A

not pro-drugs
no myelosuppression
additive/ synergistic with NRTIs

34
Q

Nevirapine

A

NNRTI
single does at delivery decreases transmission of HIV from mom to baby (vertical transmission) by 50%
CYP450 inducer
SE: rash, increased LFT

35
Q

Efavirenz

A

NNRTI

SE: insomnia, nightmares (dysphoric dreams)

36
Q

Viral aspartate protease inhibitors moa

A

aspartate protease enzyme contains dipeptide structure that isn’t human form so it binds here to inhibit it

37
Q

Viral aspartate protease inhibitors resistance

A

point mutations in pol gene, incomplete cross resistance

38
Q

Common SE of Viral aspartate protease inhibitors

A

disordered lipids and carb metabolism with central adiposity and insulin resistance
*less with atazanavir

39
Q

Indinavir

A

Viral aspartate protease inhibitor
used most frequently
SE: crystalluria

40
Q

Ritonavir

A

Viral aspartate protease inhibitor
used most frequently
SE: major drug interactions from P450 induction

41
Q

A

Viral aspartate protease inhibitors
least toxic
low bioavailability
predisposes to resistance

42
Q

viral neuraminidase inhibitors

A

influenza A and B
decreases liklihood that virus will penetrate uninfected cells
use: prophylaxis may decrease flu sx
SE: flu sx

43
Q

Raltegravir

A

integrase inhib.
prevents integration of viral genome into host DNA
Use: HIV

44
Q

Human interferons use

A

Hep B, C, D (alpha interferon)
