Antivirals Flashcards
1
Q
Nucleoside analogs
A
Idoxuridine and Trifluridine
2
Q
- Guanasine analog
- Blocks several steps in viral replication -More likely to effect mammalian cell replication–> narrow margin of safety
A
Ribavirin
3
Q
Phosphorylated by virus–> inhibits viral DNA replication
-Specificity to virus
A
Acyclovir
4
Q
-Stops viral neurominidase from cleaving surface proteins on cells, so that they cannot enter the cell
A
Tamiflu = oseltamivir
