Q

entecavir AE

A

monitor after discontinuation for severe hepatitis exacerbation

25
Q

Protease inhibitors

A

boceprevir
telaprevir

tx HCV in pt previously failed tx with IFN-a and ribavarin
- given in combo with IFN-a and ribavrin

26
Q

boceprevir

A

protease inhib

27
Q

telaprevir

A

protease inhib

28
Q

protease inhib MOA

A

binds reversibly to nonstructural protein 3 - serine protease and inhibts replication of HCV

29
Q

protease inhib AE

A

fatigue
anemia
nausea
dysgeusia

30
Q

Herpes Tx

A

purine/pyrimidine analogs
foscarnet

inhibition of RNA and DNA synthesis

31
Q

Acyclovir

A

active against HSV1 and 2, VZV, HSV4

prophylactic in immunocompromised transplant pt

CMV is resistant (Doesn’t encode thymidine kinase)

32
Q

DOC in HSV encephalitis

A

acyclovir

33
Q

prodrug of acyclovir

A

valacyclovir

34
Q

acyclovir MOA

A

3 phosphorylation steps

monophosph by herpes virus encoded thymidine kinase

host completes phosphorylation to di and triphosph

competes with dGTP = once incorporation – chain terminates - inhib of viral DNA polym

35
Q

acyclovir resistance

A

no cross resistance

1) deficient thymdine kinases
2) altered viral DNA pol - dec affinity for acyclovir

36
Q

which has greater oral bioavailbility, ayclovir or valacyclovir

A

valacyclovir

37
Q

acyclovir AE

A

topical admin = irritation locally

oral = HA, n/v/d

IV: renal failure - minimize with slow infusion and prior hydration

38
Q

DOC for CMV retinitis and prophylaxis

A

ganciclovir

39
Q

ganciclovir

A

prodrug - valganciclovir (greater oral bioavail)

aycclovir analog - but has more acitivity against CMV

40
Q

A

phosphorylated by viral (UL97) and cell kinases

DNA chain terminator and DAN pol inhib

41
Q
