Many antivirals are prodrugs and need to be _________ in order to become active
phosphorylated
Drugs for Herpes Viruses
ORAL
- acyclovir
- valacyclovir
- famiciclovir
Drugs for Herpes Viruses
TOPICAL
- acyclovir
- docosanol
- penicyclovir
Drugs for Herpes Viruses
OPHTHALMIC
trifluridine
acyclovir MOA
- inhibition of viral synthesis of DNA
- Virus-specific thymidine kinase (TK) phosphorylates to acyclovir monophosphate; cellular enzymes convert to acyclovir triphosphate
- lacks 3’-hydroxyl group & results in chain termination; inactivates the viral DNA polymerase-guanosine analog
Acyclovir formulations and SOA
- topical, oral, intravenous
- herpes simplex 1 & 2, varicella-zoster virus, possibly Epstein-Barr Virus
Valacyclovir formulations and SOA
- oral only
- similar to acyclovir
L-valyl ester prodrug of acyclovir
Valacyclovir MOA
acyclovir resistance mechanisms
- reduced or absent thymidine kinase
- altered TK substrate specificity
- alteration in DNA polymerase
–cross resistance to famciclovir and valacyclovir
Famciclovir formulations and SOA
- oral only
- HSV 1 & 2, VZV, to a lesser extent EBV
Famciclovir
- cyclic analog
- converted to penciclovir in the liver and intestines
Famciclovir resistance
mutations in VIRAL TK
