Antivirals Flashcards
Examples of Anti-HIVs
“avir”
Examples of Antiherpes
“ovir”
Examples of Antiinfluenza
“ivir”
Examples of Antihepatitis
“evir”
“uvir”
“ovir”
MoA of Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
NRTIs
needs 3 phosphates to be active, gets from host
terminates DNA elongation and competes w/ dinucleotides for reverse transcriptase
Examples of NRTIs
zidovudine, lamivudine, emtricitabine
Adverse Effects of NRTIs
bone marrow suppression
Least Toxic NRTIs
lamivudine and emtricitabine
MoA of Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
NtRTI
needs 2 phosphates to be active
Use of NRTIs
HIV- inhibits reverse transcriptase
Examples of NtRTIs
Tenofovir
Use of NtRTIs
HIV- inhibits reverse transcriptase
MoA of Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
NNRTIs
no phosphates needed
bind to reverse transcriptase below catalytic site
Examples of NNRTIs
efavirenz
Protease Inhibitors
inhibits HIV1 protease that makes more virions
