Q

explain the MOA of protease inhibitors

A

prevent the breakdown of polyprotein into smaller proteins which come together to form a new virus

inhibits aspartyl protease.

normally, protease breaks the peptide bond between phenylalanine and proline. but when protease is blocked it can;t do this and protein maturation is affected

QT prolongation

37
Q

name an entry inhibitor

A

maraviroc

38
Q

name a fusion inhibitor

A

enfuvirtide

enFU (fusion)

“tide” - peptide

39
Q

explain the MOA of maraviroc

A

it’s an entry inhibitor

binds CCR5, preventing it from binding to gp120, which thus prevents fusion and entry of the virus

Just the cd4 receptor attachment is not enough to get in!!!

40
Q

true or false

maraviroc is an ALLOSTERIC CCR5 receptor antagonist

A

true

41
Q

maraviroc can only be given in what type of HIV?

A

HIV1 and CCR5+
and in combo with other drug(s)

42
Q

maraviroc should be given with caution in what patients

A

hepatic compromised and CV issues

43
Q

2 mechanisms of maraviroc resistance

A

-mutation in the v3 loop of the gp120 protein

-virus changing to the CXCR4 tropism. maraviroc only works against ccr5

44
Q

AE of maraviroc

A

cough, upper resp tract infections, hepatotoxicity, allergic rxns

45
Q

explain the mechanism of enfuvirtide

A

fusion inhibitor. it’s a 36 amino acid peptide that blocks the interaction between the gp41 glycoprotein. does this by binding to a hydrophobic groove

this prevents the formation of a 6-HELIX BUNDLE, which is CRITICAL for membrane fusion and viral entry

46
Q

name 3 clinical-like effects of enfuvirtide

A

-inhibits infection of cd4 cells

-inhibits cell to cell transmission of hiv

-retains activity against viruses that have become resistant to other classes!!!!

47
Q

enfuvirtide is mainly given to what patients/

A

treatment experienced in combo with other retroviral

even if other classes are resistant, this drug isn’t!!!

48
Q

how is enfuvirtide administered and what is an advantage and disadvantage

A

SUBQ

advantage - absorbed slowly so dont need to inject a lot (it’s a chronic condition)

disadvantage - more painful. also, if poor circulation, there will be poor absorption

49
Q

resistance mechanism to enfuvirtide

any cross ressitance?

A

mutations in gp41

NO cross resistance with other agents

50
Q

true or false

enfuvirtide is administered orally

A

FALSE

subq

cannot give oral – it’s a 36 amino acid peptide and we have peptidase in our GI

51
Q

name an attachment inhibitor

A

fostemsavir

52
Q

name a post attachment inhibitor

A

ibalizumab

53
Q

true or false

fostemsavir is an attachment inhibitor and is a prodrug

A

TRUE

prodrug of temsavir

54
Q

fostemsavir is a _______ attachment inhibitor

A

gp120-directed

55
Q

explain the MOA of fostemsavir

A

metabolized to temsavir in vitro, which directly binds the gp120 subunit in the HIV-1 envelope which inhibits the interaction between the virus and the CD4 receptors, thus preventing ATTACHMENT to the host cell

56
Q

3 AE fostemsavir

A

hepatotoxicity
QT prolongation
IRIS

57
Q

explain MOA ibalizumab

A

CD4-directed POST-attachment HIV-1 inhibitor

binds CD4 domain 2

prevents binding to CCR5/CXCR4 (coreceptors)

58
Q

how is ibalizumab administered

A

IV once every 2 weeks

for treatment experienced pts with MDR HIV-1

59
Q

AE ibalizumab

A

rash, IRIS

60
Q

what does INSTI stand for

A

integrase strand transfer inhibitors

61
Q

name 3 INSTIS

A

dolutegravir
raltegravir
biictegravir

62
Q

true or false

INSTIS are active against both HIV 1 and HIV 2

A

true

63
Q

AE of INSTIS

A

generally well tolerated - do not affect lipid metabolism

however, rare events of hypersensitivity reactions and rhabdomyolysis

64
Q

MOA of integrase inhibitors (INSTIs)

A

normally, integrase would cut host DNA and integrate viral DNA

however, INSTIS bind to HIV integrase and prevent the DNA strand transfer and the viral DNA cannot be integrated and viral protein cannot be produced to make more HIV virus

65
Q

counseling points dolutegravir

A

no antacids, laxatives, Fe or Ca supplements - chelation and decreased absorption

66
Q

which INSTI is NOT affected by CYP3A4

A

raltegravir

67
Q

all of the INSTIS have what metabolism

A

glucuronide formation by UGT1A1

68
Q

raltegravir should be given with caution with ____

A

antacids - polyvalent cations can bind them

69
Q

raltegravir AE

A

srs hypersensitivity like SJS

same AE as other INSTIS - fat redistribution, etc

70
Q

AE bictegravir

A

IRIS, lactic acidosis/hepatomegaly with steatosis, SJS, nephrotoxicity

71
Q

name a capsid inhibitor

A

lenaCAPavir

72
Q

explain MOA lenacapavir

A

selective inhibitor of HIV-1 capsid function

directly binds between capsid protein (p24) subunits in hexamers

this affects capsid functions such as:
-nuclear uptake of HIV proviral DNA
-virus assembly and release
-capsid core formation

73
