23
Q

Triple therapy regimen

A

Original standard of care for HepC until DAA development, includes pegylated interferon alfa (notorious for causing damage to host cell), protease inhibitor, and ribavirin

24
Q

Interferon alfa

A

prevents viral entry into cells, synthesis of viral RNA and proteins, and viral release

25
Q

Interferon alfa ADRs

A
  • Flu like symptoms
  • Mental health
  • alopecia
26
Q

Ribavirin

A

Combining with interferon alfa significantly improves responsiveness

27
Q

Ribavirin ADRs

A

Hemolytic anemia and birth defects

28
Q

2nd wave protease inhibitors used in triple therapy regimen

A
  • grazoprevir
  • paritaprevir
  • simeprevir
  • glecapavir
  • voxilaprevir
29
Q

Protease inhibitor mech of action (simeprevir)

A

Inhibits protease specific to HCV genotype 1 or 4 stopping replication, used in combo with other anti HCV drugs

30
Q

NS5A inhibtors

A

Target nonstructural proteins necessary for HCV RNA replication, resistance can develop easily so agents should never be given alone

31
Q

Example of an NS5A inhibitor

A

Daclatasvir

32
Q

NS5B inhibitors

A

Target proteins necessary for HCV RNA replication,

33
Q

NS5B NPI vs NNPI

A

NPI low likelihood of viral resistance, NNPI high likelihood

34
Q

Ganciclovir Mech of action

A

Conversion to active form within host cell gangciclovir triphosphate, competes for binding to viral DNA poly and incorporates into DNA chain causing termination

35
Q

Interferon alfa absoroption

A

-paraenterally usually subqutaneous

36
Q

Daclatasvir

A

PO acting antiviral drug approved for use for treatment of crhonic hep C or HCV virus

37
Q

Daclatasvir ADRs

A

Severe bradycardia when administered with other drugs

38
Q

Sofosbuvir

A

NS5B NPI metabolized by liver into active form acts on RNA poly, well tolerated

39
Q

Ledipasvir and sofosbuvir (harvoni)

A

Two PO antiviral agents used as a popular combination to treat HCV today

40
Q

Viekira pak

A

Fixed dose of two direct acting antiviral agents obmitasvir and paritaprevir (similar efficacy to harvoni but higher pill burdern and greater potential for drug reactions)

41
Q

Elbasvir/grazoprevir (zepatier)

A

Combo of NS5A inhibitor and NS3/4A protease inhibitor

42
Q

Technivie

A

Direct acting antiviral drugs combine ombinasvir and paritaprevir for treatment of chronic hep C

A

Fixed combo of nucleotide poly inhibitor, NS5A inhibitor nd NS3/4A protease inhibitor

Q

Unlike Hep C, for Hep B we have a…

A

..vaccine

45
Q

7 drugs used for chronic hep B

A

1) alfa interferon
2) peginterferon alfa
3) lamivudine
4) adefovir
