HIV drugs Flashcards
Fusion inhibitor: Enfuvirtide: 36 amino acid peptide which binds to 1) inhibiting 2) of HIV with the target cell
1) gp41 2)fusion
active against HBV, patients co-infected with HIV and HBV should be closely monitored if treatment with either of these drugs is interrupted or discontinued, because of the likelihood of hepatitis flare
NRTIs (Emtricitabine, Lamivudine, Tenofovir):
36 amino acid peptide which binds to gp41 inhibiting fusion of HIV with the target cell
Fusion inhibitor: Enfuvirtide
a/e Metabolic changes including increased lipids, insulin insensitivity, and central fat accumulation
Protease inhibitors: Atazanavir, Darunavir, Ritonavir
binds to CD4
gp120
Binds specifically and selectively to CCR5
Penetration blocker: Maraviroc
Penetration blocker: Maraviroc resistance
develop due to mutations in gp120
Adverse effects i. Rash which could progress to Stevens-Johnson syndrome ii. Fetal abnormalities (neural tube defects)
Nonnucleoside: Efavirenz
Long-term complications of ART include 1). The statins are used to lower lipids but their metabolism is inhibited by 2). This can increase the blood levels of the statin and increase the risk of 3)
1) hyperlipidemia 2) Protease Inhibitorss 3) rhabdomyolysis
used to “boost” the levels of other protease inhibitors when given in combination, thus acting as a pharmacokinetic enhancer rather than an antiretroviral agent
Ritonavir boost
nucleoside analog of cytosine
Lamivudine
Life cycle of HIV:Reverse transcription HIV is equipped with 1)
1) RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase);
These drugs do not compete with nucleoside triphosphates nor require phosphorylation to be active
Nonnucleoside: Efavirenz
(nucleotide analog of adenosine
Tenofovir
All newborns born to HIV-infected mothers should receive 1) for 6 weeks; Infants born to mothers with no antiretroviral therapy should receive 6 weeks of 2) during the first week of life
1) zidovudine 2) zidovudine and three doses of nevirapine (an NNRTI)
gp120 and gp41 is made from cleavage of 1); functions of each?
gp160 gp120–> binds to CD4 gp41–> membrane fusion
prevent post-translational cleavage of the Gag-Pol polyprotein resulting in the production of immature, noninfectious viral particle
Protease inhibitors: Atazanavir, Darunavir, Ritonavir
bind directly to reverse transcriptase resulting in allosteric inhibition of RNA- and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase
Nonnucleoside: Efavirenz
integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)
Integrase inhibitor: raltegravir
Life cycle of HIV: Penetration Viral gp120 binding to CD4 is enhanced by further binding to chemokine receptors, 1)
1) CCR5 and CXCR4.
Incorporation into the growing viral DNA chain results in premature chain termination due to inhibition of binding with the incoming nucleotide
NRTIs (Emtricitabine, Lamivudine, Tenofovir):
