AntiVirals Flashcards
Inhibits penetration or uncoating by blocking M2 ion channel inhibitors thereby restricting passage of protons which are required to trigger release of viral genes into host cell nucleus
Amantadine
Inhibits viral DNA polymerase
Acyclovir
Foscarnet
Gancyclovir
Inhibits viral RNA polymerase
Foscarnet
Ribarivirn
Inhibits reverse transcriptiase
AZT 3TC DDI DDC D4T
Inhibits viral aspartate protease
Idinavir, vir
Inhibits Neuraminidase which cleaves and removes sialic acid receptors from surface of the cell to allow spread to new cells
Unable to cleave sialic acid and escape from cell
Oseltamavir
Peramivir
Zenamivir
Transition state analog of Sialic acid
Active against influenza A and B
Reversible inhibition of viral neuraminidase producing vira aggregation on the cell surface preventing release and spread of viral progeny
Oseltamavir
Rapidly absorbed and metabolized
Food does not decrease bioavailability but reduces GI intolerance
Half life 1-3 hours (phosphate), 6-10 (carboxylate)
Oseltamavir
Uncomplicated acute influenza in patients <1 y/o
Decreases duration of illness by 1-1.5 days when treatment is initiated within 48 hours from onset of symptoms
Prophylaxis for individuals within 48 hours from onset of symptoms
Osetlamavir
Oseltamavir SE
Nausea and vomiting due to local irritation
Abdominal discomfort, diarrhea
Bronchitis, insomnia, vertigo, headache, fatigue
Drugs for Herpesvirus
Foscarnet Ganciclovir Idoxuridine Vidarabine Acyclovir
Guanine analog (premature DNA-chain termination) For HSV1, HSV2, Varicella
Inhibits DNA polymerase
Acyclovir
Acyclovir SE
Crystalluria
Neurotoxicity
Nephrotoxicity
Not hematoxic
Guanine analog
Drug of choice for CMV pneumonia esophagitis
Hematotoxic
CMV retinitis, prophylaxis in organ transplantation, colitis, esophagitis, pneumonitis
HSV, VZV, EBV, HHV6, KSVH (in vitro)
Like acyclovir but doesn’t have to be phosphorylated to work
Ganciclovir
Oseltamavir blocks
viral release
Ganciclovir SE
Principal dose limiting toxicity (Myelosupression) neutropenia
CNS: headache, behavioral changes, convulsion, coma
Infusion related phlebitis Azotemia Liver function test abnormalities Nausea and vomiting Anemia, eosinophilia
Ophthalmic ointment for viral keratoconjunctivitis keratitis by HSV
Bidarabine 3% ophthalmic ointment Vira A
Thymidine analog
Herpes simplex keratitis
Idoxuridine
Trifluridine
Inhibits viral DNA synthesis
For herpes keratoconjunctivitis
HSV1 encehalitis and keratitis
Vidarabine
Phosphate analog
For CMV retinitis
Pyrofosphate analog inhibiting DNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase
Foscarnet
Acyclovir acts as
chain terminator
requires phosphorylation because metabolite
Antivirals for respiratory viruses
Amantadine
Rimantadine
Ribavarin
