Stavudine (d4T)
Didanosine (ddI) 
Tenofovir (TDF) 
Abacavir (ABC)
Lamivudine (3TC) 
Emtricitabine (FTC)
A

MOA: terminate DNA chain elongation

Kinetics: 
Primarily renally excreted 
abacavir metabolized in the liver
All except tenofovir penetrate the CNS
Administration: oral

Adverse effects: Lactate acidosis (damage of mitochondria), liver toxicity

17
Q

Protease inhibitors

A

suffix -navir

Ritonavir
Lopinavir
Atazanavir
Darunavir
Tipranavir
18
Q
Ritonavir
Lopinavir
Atazanavir
Darunavir
Tipranavir
A

MOA: HIV protease cleaves Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins of HIV

Pharmacokinetics:
The bioavailability is different can be increased by P-glycoproteins
They do not penetrate CNS
They are metabolized in the liver primary through CYP3A4
!!!In low dose Ritonavir block CYP2C19 and P-glycoprotein
There is no general cross-resistance between PIs

Adverse effects:
Insulin-resistance (after 5 years 5% new diabetic patients)
Hyperlipidemia (LDL, total cholesterol and triglyceride elevation)
GI disorders

19
Q

Entry inhibitors

A

Maraviroc

Enfuvirtide

20
Q

Integrase inhibitors

A

inhibits integration of proviral DNA to host chromosome

Administration: oral

Adverse effects: GI intolerance, headache

Resistance: A single point-mutation (of integrase gene)

drugs ..
Raltegravir
Elvitegravir
Dolutegravir

21
Q

Raltegravir
Elvitegravir
Dolutegravir

A

Integrase inhibitors

22
Q

Raltegravir

A

Kinetics: conjugated to glucuronic acid (CYP450) | forms complex with bivalent cations (reduces bioavailability

Well tolerated (GI problems, CK elevation due to myopathy, rhabdomyolysis)

Relative fast resistance development

23
Q

Elvitegravir

A

Cross-resistance with raltegravir

Combined tablet:
elvitegravir (+cobicistat = “booster”) + emtricitabine + tenofovir
!!!Administered once a day with “booster” (CYP3A inhibitor: ritonavir or cobicistat) increases duration of action from 3 to 9 hours

24
Q

Dolutegravir

A

Extensive hepatic metabolism (glucuronidation)

Low cross-resistance, high genetic barrier

25
Q

Maraviroc

A
Entry inhibitors
(CCR5 coreceptor antagonist) - CCR5 viruses are mainly present in earlier stage of the disease

Prior to use a test to determine viral tropism is required to distinguish if the drug will have any effect (CCR5 / CXCR4/dual)

Orally administered,
metabolized in the liver (CYP3A4, note drug interactions)

Adverse effects: Generally well tolerated (Headache, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension)

26
Q

Enfuvirtide

A

Polypeptide
Entry inhibitors
Binds to gp41 HIV and inhibits the binding to the cells (a fusion inhibitor)

Administration: subcutaneous administered

Mainly well tolerated (local reactions on injection site, headache, nausea)
