Q

protease inhibitors

mechanism

A
  • assembly of virions depends on HIV-1 protease (pol gene)
    • cleaves polypeptide products of HIV mRNA
  • **prevents maturation of new viruses **
  • Ritonavir “boosts” other drug conc (inhibits CYP450)

Q

NRTIs

mechanism

A
  • competitively inhibit nucleotide binding to reverse transcriptase & terminate DNA chain (lack a 3’ OH group)
  • Tenofovir is a nucleoTide (rest are nucleosides)
  • ZDV
    • general prophylaxis
    • pregnancy (decrease fetal transmission)
