HAART
highly active antiretroviral therapy
36 amino acid synthetic peptide, increases effectiveness of HAART in combination chemotherapy, binds to gp41 of viral envelope, prevents conformational change and impedes the fusion of the viral and host cell membranes, no cross resistance with other HIV agents, potential for resistance developing when given at suboptimal doses
enfuvirtide
a 2nd line treatment; SC; high protein binding; metabolized by proteolytic hydrolysis; injection site reactions; increased risk of bacterial pneumonia
enfuvirtide
chemokine receptor 5 antagonist; binds to CCR5 co-receptor; prevents virus from entering the host cell; oral; substrate for both CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein; both feces and urine
maraviroc
treatment of CCR5-tropic HIV-1; in combination for patients failing other antiretrovirals, coreceptor tropism assay should be performed when a CCR5 antagonist is being considered
maraviroc
adverse effects: cough, pyrexia, rash, musculoskeletal symptoms, abdominal pain and postural dizziness, bladder irritation; possible liver and cardiac problems; interacts with CYP3A inducers and inhibitors
maraviroc
AZT (zidovudine) and 3TC (lamivudine)
combivir
AZT (zidovudine) and 3TC (lamivudine) and abacavir
trizivir
mech of action of which retroviral group: competitive inhibition of viral reverse transcriptase
NRTIs
NRTIs: analogs of pyrimidine nucleoside (T); phosphorylated to active triphosphate forms; competes w/ deoxythymidine triphosphate for incorporation into DNA
zidovudine and stavudine
NRTIs: analogs of pyrimidine nucleoside (C); compete with deoxycytidine triphosphate for incorporation into viral DNA
lamivudine and emtricitabine
NRTI: analog of purine nucleoside (A, G); active 2’,3’-dideoxyadenosine 5’-triphosphate (ddATP) competes with cellular deoxyadenosine triphosphate for incorporation into viral DNA
didanosine
NRTI: analog of purine nucleosides (G)
abacavir
only NRTI shown to reduce perinatal HIV transmission
zidovudine
zidozudine is metabolized to …
glucoronide
abacavir is metabolized by …
alcohol dehydrogenase
which NRTI is acid labile and taken 1/2 hr before or 2 hour after meals?
didanosine
common toxicities of which group?: GI distress, lactic acidosis and hepatic steatosis due to mitochondrial toxicity; lipodystrophy
NRTIs
which NRTI can cause bone marrow suppression
zidovudine
which NRTI causes diarrhea, peripheral neuropathy, pancreatitis
didanosine
which NRTI causes peripheral neuropathy and pancreatitis
stavudine
which NRTI causes hypersensitivity reaction due to genetic predisposition
abacavir
which NRTI: avoid concurrent administration with drugs that are bone marrow suppressive
zidovudine
