Drugs used for herpes
Acyclovir, ganciclovir, foscarnet
Drugs for influenza
Amantadine, zanamivir
Drugs for HBV and HCV
Inf-a, lamivudine, ribavirin
Activated by thymidine kinase to formals that inhiit viral DNA polymerase
Acycolvir
Inhibits viral DNA polymerase , causing chain termination
Ganciclovor
Inhibits RNA polymerase, DNA polymerase and HIV reverse transcriptase. Binds to pyrophosphate binding site.
Foscarnet
DOC for CMV retinits(?)
Cifodovir
Antiviral that can cause hypocalcemia
Foscarnet
Drugs for HIV
Indinavir, enduvirtide, maraviroc, zidovudine, delavirdine (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, nnrti, protease inhibitor, fusion inhibitor, ccr5 receptor antagonist)
Inhibits HIV transcriptase after phosphorylation by cellular enzymes
Zidovudine
Inhibit reverse transcriptase. No phosphorylation required.
Delavirdine
Inhibits viral protein processing
Indinavir
Binds to gp41 subunit of viral envelope glycoprotein, preventing fusion of viral and cellular membranes
Enfuvirtide
Blocks viral attachment via transmembrane chemokine receptor CCR5
Maraviroc
Inhibit early step replication and prevent UNCOATING by binding yo M2 proton channels
Amantadine
