Antivirals Flashcards
What are the 5 classes of antiretroviral medications
NRTI NNRTI PI Integrase inhibitors Entry inhibitors (enfuviritide; CCR5 antagonist)
Name the 5 NRTIs
Lamivudine (C) Abacavir (G) Tenofovir (A) Emtricitabine (C) Zidovudine (T)
SE tenofovir
Nephrotoxic
SE Abacovir
Hypersensitivity
Classic SE NRTI
GI
Lactic acidosis
SE Zidovudine
Anemia
HAART treatment options
(1) PI (+ritonavir) + 2 NRTIs
(2) NNRTI + 2 NRTIs
(3) II + 2 NRTIs
MOA NRTI
Viral DNA chain termination via inhibition of reverse transcriptase enzyme
What are the 4 NNRTIs
Efavirenz
Nevirapine
Rilpivirine
Etavirine
MOA NNRTI
Bind RT directly
SE Efavirenz
CNS symptoms
Vivid dreams
Drowsiness
Teratogenic
SE Nevirapine
Rash
Hepatitis (hepatic necrosis)
What do all PI end in?
NAVIR
MOA PI
Bind within active pocket of protease, inhibiting binding of virus (no functional units can be made)
NNRTI class SE
Rash 5-10% risk
SE PI
GI
Metabolic toxicities
(Hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, lipodystrophy)
Which PI is given as a booster? (Enhances other drugs)
Ritonavir
What is Enfuviritide?
An injectable drug used for HIV treatment
Attaches to gp41 and blocks entry
SE Enfuviritide
Injection reaction
Increased rate of bacterial pneumonia
Hypersensitivity reaction
What is a CCR5 antagonist?
Used for HIV treatment, it blocks entry. HIV used CCR5 as a co-receptor to enter T-cells
*some people have CXCR4
