Q

Acyclovir area of use?

A

Viruses that have the Thymidine kinase enzyme to activate the drug. These viruses are Herpe simplex 1 and 2 and Varicella Zoster.

These viruses have a dormant part of their life cycle which means you do not cure the infections due to non-replicant viruses.

Q

Mechanism of action of “-ovirs”?

A

prodrug that is activated by host kinases. The active metabolite lach 3’ -OH which will terminate the DNA chain transcription = chain terminators.

Q

HIV: Protease inhibitors mechanism of action?

A

Aspratate protease(pol) cleaves precursor polypeptides in HIV that buds to form the proteins of the mature virus core.

This enzyme, aspartate protease, contains dipeptide structures which the PIs can bind to, thereby inhibiting the enzyme.

Resistance occurs via specific point mutations in pol gene

Q

Amantadine mechanism of action?

A

blocks attachement, penetration and uncoating of influenza A virus

17
Q

Zanamivir and Oseltamivir mechanism of action?

A

inhibit neuraminidases of influenza A and B; decrease the likelyhood that the virus will penetrate uninfected cells.

prophylaxis mainly

Ganciclovir coadministered to produce synergy?

22
Q

Trifluvidine moa?

A

Replaces Thymidine in viral DNA –> produce fraudulent base pairing

23
Q

Amantadine & Rimantadine moa?

Orthomyxoviridae

25
Q

Time frame for administration of Amantadine & Rimantadine?

A

48 hours after onset of symptoms

26
Q

Ribavirin moa?

A

inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase in viral DNA and RNA polymerases

27
Q

Zanamivir and Oseltavir moa?

A

neuroaminidase inhibitor

28
Q

Zanamivir and Oseltavir target organisms?

Zidovudine(AZT) dose-limiting toxicity?

31
Q

Zidovudine(AZT) and pregnancy?

A

When given in second trimester it reduces vertical transmission by 25%

32

Saquinavir, Ritonavir and Indinavir are all …….

A

HIV-1 protease inhibitors

36
Q

Enfurvirtide moa?

A
