Pharm Final Flashcards
Time dependent drug
Concentrations in blood must be maintained for a period to inhibit cell growth
Ideal antibacterial
Stable Soluble Diffusible Slow excretion Large therapeutic index
Drug that is both static and cidal
Vancomycin
Empiric therapy
Give antibiotics based on best guess
Example of synergism in the notes
Beta-lactam + aminoglycoside
-cell wall inh. -protein synth. Inh
AG’s can get into the cell wall because of the beta-lactams
Only synergistic for G+ (cell wall)
Fungal cell walls contain chitin and _
B-Glucans
Mycobacteria cell walls are made of what
Phospholipids Mycolic acids Arabinogalactan Murein Cytoplasmic membrane
_ is the leading killer of people HIV infected
Tuberculosis
Roles of: antigen presenting cells Helper T cells Cellular and humoral immunity Interferon
In rxn to infection
APC- take up and digest/present antigens
HTC: makes interleukin 2, makes interferon
Cell immunity: killer cells kill infected cells
Humoral: T helper contacts B cell holding antigen, B cell makes antibodies
Interferon: activates killer cells, induces resistance of other host cells to virus
How can antibodies affect a virus
Bind and neutralize virus
Recognize complex so it can be phagocytosed and destroyed
Passive vs. active immunization
Characteristics of both types of immunization
Active: antigen induces cell and humoral immunity, takes weeks
Passive: give antiviral immunoglobulin
How is interferon produced?
What is its role in suppressing viruses?
Interferon producing cells express receptors that recognize viral DNA/RNA and make interferon.
It circulates and activates interferon receptors on other cells, inducing expression of genes that promote resistance to viruses. Also activate NK cells
Considerations regarding spectrum activity of antiviral agents
Work on one genome type (usually) and sometimes on one type of virus in class.
Base-analog concepts (p31)
Resemble bases
Details about acyclovir:
- Selective metabolic activation in _
- Competitive inhibition
- Incorporation into DNA
- Viral polymerase cannot _
Spectrum:
Virus infected cells
Add another base causing termination
HSV1>2>VZV
Acyclovir (Zovirax, Sitavig):
Mechanism of action, virus family affected, uses
S
Ganciclovir (cytovene)
Mechanism of action, virus family affected, use
M: phosphorylated, inhibits dGTP on polymerase, inhibits elongation after incorporation into DNA
CMV
Prophylaxis and treatment of CMV
Lamivudine
Mechanism of action, virus family affected, use
M: competes with dCTP to inhibit reverse transcriptases
hep B and HIV
Docosanol (abreva)
Mechanism of action, virus family affected, use
Inhibits attachment of enveloped viruses to cells
HSV1/2, HH6, CMV
Influenza, RSV
Importance of thymidine Kinase and UL97 kinase
TK phosphorylates acyclovir to human Kinase
Do host enzymes affect metabolic activation for base analogs?
It looks like viral enzymes do (thymidine kinase)
What is the role of M2 protein and action of amantadine in influenza
M2: allows genome release within cells
A: prevents uncoating of inf. A virus after entry into host cell and release by blocking M2
Importance of neuraminic (Sialic) acid
Cleavage of neuraminic acid disrupts binding of viral hemagglutinin to cell
Importance of neuraminidase
Hydrolyzes terminal neuraminic acids from proteins and other host cells.
Ultimately allowing viral release
Action of oseltamivir
Neuraminidase inhibitor
NS3-4A protease
Serine protease
Produces several enzymes and structural proteins for virus
NS5B RNA Polymerase
Copies RNA viral genome
NS5A
Ex. Ledipasvir
Protein required for HCV replication and assembly
Information and target for
Simeprevir (OLYSIO)
Sofosbuvir
Ledipasvir
Hep C Serine Protease Inhibitors
Simeprevir - NS3-4A
Sofosbuvir - NS5B
Ledipasvir - NS5A (domain 1)
Function of GP120 and GP41
GP120/41 is a complex on the outside of a virus (continuation of the core of the virus) that attaches on CD4/CCR5/CXCR4
Which chemokine receptors are needed for HIV virus to attach
CD4 and CCR5
T/F integrate use the LTR in double stranded DNA to insert the HIV copy into the host genome
TRUE
