Exam III HIV Pharm Flashcards
Identify when not to use, ADRs and DDIs
PathoPhys of HIV
HIV 1 versus HIV 2
HIV = retrovirus = lentivirus
HIV - 1
- More Prevalent*
- More Pathogenic*
- HIV-1 VArients divided into groups: M, N, O, P*
- Within M (Major) group there are classes A, B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K*
- Origins Chimpanzee*
HIV - 2
- Largely limited to Western Africa*
- Less pathogenic*
- Treatment differences (HIV-2 resisitant to NNRTI’s)*
- Origins: Sooty Mangabey*
Cell Surface receptors for HIV
1. CD4 Receptors
2. Chemokine Receptors
CCR5
- Found in majority of sexually transmitted HIV - 1 infection*
- Generally detectable over the entire course of infection*
- FDA-approved CCR5 inhibitor available*
- Rare delta 32 genetic mutation (immunity)*
CXCR4
Generally observed in PTs with advanced AIDS
HIV testing
Seroconversion window period
Time of infection to production of antibodies
Average 3-4 weeks but up to 6 months
Acute HIV
HIV tests
Rapid (antibody tests)
- Blood or oral fluid sample (eg., in-home oral HIV test through OraQuick)*
- Faster results; require confirmation if reactive*
Combination immunoassy (‘fourth - generation test’)
- Detects HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies and HIV-1 protein 24 (p24) antigen*
- More sensitive in diagnosing early infection*
PCR test (polymerase chain reaction test)
Viral load tests: detect genetic material of HIV
Antiretroviral (ART) Drug Classes
Nucleoside and nucleotide RT inhibitors (NRTI/NtRTI)
Generic names and in INE (eg., emtricitabine)
Non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTI)
Generic names end in virine (eg., rilpivirine)
Protease inhibitors (PI)
Generic names end in: NAVIR (eg., darunavir)
Integrase inhibitors (INSTI)
Generic names and in TEGRAVIR
Phamacokinetic boosters (for PIs and INSTIs)
Norvir (ritonavir): protease inhibitor
Tybost (cobicistat, COBI)
CCR5 inhibitor
Fusion inhibitor
Monclonal antibody (post-attachment inhibitor)
Nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI)
Emtricitabine, FTC
Lamivudine, 3TC
Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate or TDF
Tenofovir alafenamide, TAF
- Better tolerated version of Tenofovir*
- Co-formulated with Emtricitabine in Descovy for HIV and HBV*
- FDA approved for HBV as Vemlidy*
- Not FDA approved for HIV as Vemlidy*
Abacavir, ABC
Combination NRTI Products
NRTI Characteristics I
NRTI Characteristics II
NRTI Characteristics III
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI)
Doravirine
Rilpivirine, RPV
Efavirenz, EFV
Combination NNRTI Products
NNRTI Characteristics
MoA
Inhibit RT by directly binding to it (non-competitive inhibition of RT)
Drug class side effects
Rash
- Often diffuse, slightly raised, itchy*
- Severe skin reactions reported (rare):*
- Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)*
- Steven-Johnson Syndrome (SJS)*
Liver Toxicity
Livertox Database: https://livertox.nih.gov/
NNRTI Drug Specific Side Effects
Doravirine:
N/D, abdominal pain, dizziness, HA, fatigue, Abnormal dream
Rilpivirine:
Depression, insomnia, HA, rash
Efavirenz:
CNS effects such as: dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, insomnia, vivid dreams
Bedtime dosing
Retrospective case reports of Neural Tube Defects in the first trimester
NNRTI Characteristics
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption/food effects:
Take with food: Rilpivirine
Take on empty stomach: Efavirenz
Metabolism
Liver metabolism via CYP450
Substrates of CYP3A4
Efavirenz is a substrate of CYP2B6 and its levels may accumulate in genetic polymorphism
<em>Lower-dose Efavirenz in Symfi Lo may be better tolerated</em>
NNRTI Drug interactions
Protease Inhibitors (PI)
Darunavir, DRV
600mg tab - dosed VID with Ritonavir (PK Booster) 100mg BID
800 mg tab - dosed QD with Ritonavir (PK Booster) 100mg QD or Cobicistat 150mg QD
Ritonavir, RTV
Atazanavir, ATV
