HIV Pharm Flashcards
1
Q
zidovudine (AZT)
A
- Nucleotide RT inhibitor
- Blocks thymidine addition
- Effective against HIV and HTLV
- risk of lactic acidosis syndrome, bone marrow suppression, myopathy, hepatic steatosis
2
Q
stavudine
A
- Like AZT
- Nucleotide RT inhibitor
- Blocks thymidine addition
- Only effective against HIV
- risk of lactic acidosis syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, fat wasting, hepatic steatosis
3
Q
emtricitabine
A
- Nucleotide RT inhibitor
- Blocks cytosine addition
- Effective against HIV and HBV
- long half life, and excreted unchanged in urine
- leads to hyperpigmentation
4
Q
lamivudine
A
- Nucleotide RT inhibitor
- Blocks cytodine addition
- Effective against HIV and HBV
- dual treatment with doltegravir is used for treatment naïve patients
- long half life, and excreted unchanged in urine
5
Q
abacavir
A
- Nucleotide RT inhibitor
- Blocks guanosine addition
- patient can’t have HLA-B*5701 genotype due to toxicity
- not a CYP substrate
- risk of hyperlipidemia and cardiac events
6
Q
didanosine
A
- Nucleotide RT inhibitor
- Blocks adenosine addition
- can be toxic: peripheral neuropathy, pancreatitis, hepatic steatosis
7
Q
tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
A
- Nucleotide RT inhibitor
- Blocks adenosine addition
- Effective against HIV and HBV
- can cause renal tubular necrosis and Fanconi syndrome, and decreased bone mineral density.
8
Q
tenofavir alafenamide
A
- -Nucleotide RT inhibitor
- Blocks adenosine addition
- Effective against HIV and HBV
- distributes differently than TDF (lower [plasma], higher [IC])
- less renal and bone toxicity
9
Q
raltegravir
A
- Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors
- blocks covalent bond formation in viral & host DNA (strand transfer)
- rare skin and immune hypersensitivity rxns
10
Q
elvitegravir (/c or /r)
A
- Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors
- blocks covalent bond formation in viral & host DNA (strand transfer)
- metabolozed by CYP3A4 so it needs to be boosted
11
Q
dolutegravir
A
- Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors
- blocks covalent bond formation in viral & host DNA (strand transfer)
- high genetic barrier to resistance
- avoid in pregnancy due to neural tube defects
12
Q
bictegravir
A
- Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors
- blocks covalent bond formation in viral & host DNA (strand transfer)
- high genetic barrier to resistance
- only available in tablet bictegravir/emtricitabine/TAF
13
Q
enfuvirtide
A
- 36 aa peptide derived from viral gp41 part that fuses with cell membrane
- inhibits membrane fusion
- ONLY effective against HIV-1
- only parenteral administration
14
Q
saquinavir
A
- protease inhibitor, prevents maturation of HIV particle
- not often used due to pill burden
- GI distress and fat wasting
15
Q
lopinavir /r
A
- protease inhibitor, prevents maturation of HIV capsid
- often works after other PIs fail
- GI distress, hyperlipidemia
