ARVS Flashcards
ARV classes and key names?
- Nucleoside.nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NRTI)-“Dine”, “Bine”, “vir”(@ the end)
- Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRT)-“vir” in the middle
- Protease inhibitors(PIs)-“navir”
- Intergrase inhibitors-“Teger”
- Fusion inhibitor
- CCR5 Antagonist
Nucleoside nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NRTI) drugs`/
D-E-A-L-S–T-Z
Didanosine
Emtricitabine (FTC)
Abacavir (ABC)
Lamivudine
(3TC)
Stavudine
- Tenofovir (TDF)
- Zidovudine (AZT, ZDV)
NRTI MOA?
Resemble nucleosides/nucleotides naturally used in DNA synthesis
Compete with host nucleotides to serve as the substrate for chain elongation by reverse
transcriptase
NRTI activation?
Must undergo intracellular activation to become active
Nucleoside analogs=Triphosphorylation
Nucleotide analog=Diphosphorylation
NRTI S/E?
Specify for Tenofovir(3), Zidovudine(1), Abacavir(1) and others(4)?
Tenofovir:
1. Nephrotoxicty
2. Fanconi syndrome
3. Bone demineralization disorders
Zidovudine:
1. Anemia
Abacavir:
1. Fatal hypersensitivity
(HLA-B*5701 gene)
All others:
1. Peripheral neuropathy
2. Lactic acidosis
3. Pancreatitis
4. LIpodystrophy,
NNRTIs drugs?
“vir”
- Efavirenz,
- Nevirapine
- Etravirine
- Rilpivirine
NNRTIs MOA?
1.Binding site of NNRTIs is different from that of NRTIs. Inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase
- Do not compete with nucleoside triphosphates.
- Do not require intracellular activation
NNRTIs A/E-3?
Specify three drugs!
EFV: abnormal dreams, psychosis, gynaecomastia, headache, mild to moderate
maculopapular rash
NVP: rash (may be severe or life-threatening - SJS), hepatitis
ETR: rash (may be severe or life-threatening - SJS), triglyceridaemia
Integrase Inhibitors drugs-3?
“teger”
- Dolutegravir
- Raltegravir
- Carbotegravir
Integrase Inhibitors drugs MOA?
- Inhibit viral integrase enzyme
- Prevent the transfer of viral DNA strand into host-cell genome
Raltegravir
- PK
- DI
- A/E
- Tolerance
PK: bioavailability enhanced by food
DI: Rifampicin ↓ raltegravir plasma levels
A/E: headaches, nausea, fatigue, myopathy, rhabdomyolysis
Tolerance:well-tolerated
Integrase Inhibitors MOA-2?
- Inhibit viral integrase enzyme
- Prevent the transfer of viral DNA strand into host-cell genome
Dolutegravir CI?
- DTG may increase the risk of neural tube defects avoid preconception
and in the first 6 weeks of pregnancy
Dolutegravir A/E?-6
- Tetratogenic
- insomnia
- weight gain
- headache
- neuropsychiatric effects
- diarrhea
Integrase Inhibitors DI?
- Antacids & iron supplements → ↓ Decreased DTG plasma conc. → Dose spacing
- Anticonvulsants (carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin) →↓ DTG
plasma conc. →→ Avoid co-admin if possible - Metformin → ↑↑↑Metforminplasma conc.→Limit metformin dose to max 500 mg 12-hourly
PIs drug-5?
“navir”
- Lopinavir
- Atazanavir
- Dorunavir
- Saquinavir
- Ritonavir
Ritonavir
Inhibits CYP3A4 at subtherapeutic doses
Inhibits metabolism of PIs
PIs MOA?
Inhibits HIV protease. Prevents cleavage of viral precursor & non-infectious virions
