Exam 2: Antiretroviral -Part 2- Moniri COPY Flashcards
T/F?
NRTIs are NON-competitive inhibitors of reverse transcriptase and obligate chain terminators.
False
-COMPETITIVE inhibitors
ALL NRTIs must undergo ______ in order to exert drug effects.
mono-, di-, or tri- phosphorylation
Which NRTI only has to undergo di- and tri-phosphorylation and contains 2 formulations?
Tenofovir (Viread, TDF)
Alafenamide (TAF)
Which Tenofovir formulation is associated w/ Less toxicities, increase efficacy, more metabolic AEs?
Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)
T/F?
TDF concentrates more in the cell in opposed to the blood which increase its’ efficacy.
False
-Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)
Which 2 NRTIs induce known resistance (M184V)? Why are they still used?
Lamivudine (Epivir, 3TC)
Emtricitabine (Emitriva, FTC)
- they are used b/c the mutation creates a less virulent infection
Which NRTI requires HLA-B*5701 hypersensitivity testing?
Abacavir (Ziagen, ABC)
Which HLA-B is associated w/ slow AIDs progression?
HLA-B27/B57
Which HLA-B is associated w/ fast AIDs progression?
HLA-B35
Which NRTI is associated w/ HIGH toxicities due to high infinity for monophosphate which result in BONE MARROW SUPPRESION, anemia and erythroid?
Zidovudine (Retrovir, AZT)
_____ act at the allosteric site and shifts the enzyme confirmation and a nucleotide can no longer fit and chain extension is inhibited
nNRTIs
What major AEs is associated w/ nNRTIs?
Drug-drug interactions due to being CYP450 effectors
T/F?
nNRTIs are used to effectively treat HIV-1 AND HIV-2.
False
- HIV-1 ONLY
What 3 nNRTIs are CYP inducers?
- Efavirenz (Sustiva) (major ALL 3)
- Nevirapine (Viramune)
- Etravirine (Intelence)
What nNRTI decreases PI levels?
-Efavirenz (Sustiva)
