HIV Therapy Flashcards
Protease Inhibitors
“Navir tease a protease”- all protease inhibitors end in “Navir”
- Inhibit HIV-1 protease (pol gene), which is needed to cleave HIV mRNA into functional parts, preventing maturation of new viruses
- SE: Hyperglycemia, GI intolerance, Lipodystrophy, Inhibit P450 (PICK EGS)
Lopinavir
Protease inhibitor
*GI intolerance, inhibits P450
Atazanavir
Protease inhibitor
*GI intolerance, inhibits P450
Darunavir
Protease inhibitor
*GI intolerance, inhibits P450
Fosamprenavir
Protease inhibitor
*GI intolerance, inhibits P450
Saquinavir
Protease inhibitor
*GI intolerance, inhibits P450, lipodystrophy, hyperglycemia
Ritonavir
Protease inhibitor
*GI intolerance, inhibits P450, pancreatitis
Indinavir
Protease inhibitor
*GI intolerance, inhibits P450, lypodystrophy, hyperglycemia, nephrolithiasis/nephropathy, hematuria
Protease inhibitor SE
- Hyperglycemia, GI intolerance, Lipodystrophy
- Hyperglycemia and Lipodystrophy especially in Indinavir, Saquinavir, Amprenavir
- Pancreatitis in Ritonavir
- Nephrolithiasis, Nephropathy, Hematuria in Indinavir
Protease Inhibitor that especially causes hyperglycemia and lipodystrophy
ISA: Indinar (also renal), Saquinavir, Amprenavir
Protease Inhibitor that especially causes pancreatitis
Ritonavir
Protease Inhibitor that especially causes nephrolithiasis, nephropathy, hematuria
Indinavir (also hyperglycemia and lipodystrophy)
NRTIs
Competitively inhibit nucleotide binding to RT and terminate the DNA chain (lack 3’OH):
“STEAL Zidane’s Didanosine”
*All but Tenofovir must be phosphorylated
*Zidovudine is used for general prophylaxis and during pregnancy
*SE: BM suppression, peripheral neuropathy, lactic acidosis, rash (hypersensitivity)
Stavudine
NRTI, must be phosphorylated
*BM suppression, lactic acidosis, rash, pancreatitis, peripheral neuropathy, hepatic steatosis
Tenofovir
NRTI, does not need to be phosphorylated
*BM suppression, lactic acidosis, rash
