Antiviral Flashcards
(98 cards)
Influenza
Amantidine
Rimantidine
Oseltamivir
Zanamivir
Amantidine MOA:
Inhibit uncoating of the viral RNA within infected host cells, preventing replication
Rimantidine MOA
Inhibit uncoating of the viral RNA within infected host cells, preventing replication
Oseltamivir MOA
Inhibit neuraminidase of influenza a and b; preventing the release of virons from the host cell and prevents entry into the cell
Zanamivir MOA
Inhibit neuraminidase of influenza a and b; preventing the release of virons from the host cell and prevents entry into the cell
Amantidine
Crosses BBB –> parkinson’s Disease

Oseltamivir
Pro drug, oral
Indicated: prevention and treatment of Influenza A and B
BEGIN within 2 days of onset (renally dosed)
Pregnancy category C
Zanamivir
Oral inhalation
Indicated: prevention and treatment of Influenza A and B
Avoid in Dairy allergy - contains milk protein
Pregnancy category C
Nucleoside analogs MOA
synthetic analogs of purines or pyrimidines that inhibit the viral replication through
competitive inhibition of DNA polymerase
incorporation and termination of viral DNA chain
inactivation of viral DNA polymerase
Trifluridine
Pyrimidine analogs
Ophthalmic solution
Indications Ocular HSV
Refrigerate
Cidofovir
Pyrimidine analogs
IV formulation ONLY
Indication CMV infections, HSC activity (systemic, organs, meningitis)
Renally Toxic –> HYDRATE prior to therapy
Acyclovir
Guannine Analogs
ONLY effective against activiely replicating virus
Indications HSV and VZV
Oral, IV (renally toxic), topical
Poor bioavailability –> multiple dosing/day (5X)
Pregnancy category B
Monitor renal function
Valacyclovir
Prodrug of acyclovir
Better bioavailability
Indications HSV and VZV
Oral formulation only (1 x day)
Famciclovir
Prodrug of penciclovir guanine analog Inhibits viral DNA polymerase Better bioavailability Indications: prevention and treatment of HSV and VZV Pregnancy category B Oral agent
Penicilovir
Guanine analog
Inhibits viral DNA polymerase
Topical formulation ONLY
Indication: treatment of HSV infections (Herpes labialis and facialis)
Ganciclovir
Guanine analog
Indications: treatment and prevention of CMV infection
IV formulation renally toxic –> HYDRATE
Monitor: CBC w/ diff, LFTs, Renal function, serum electrolytes
Pregnancy category: C
Valganciclovir
prodrug of ganciclovir Oral table take with food renally excreted Indications: Prevention and treatment of CMV infections Monitor CBC w/ diff, renal function
Foscarnet
Inorganic pyrophosphate analog
inhibits viral-specific DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptase at the pyrophosphate binding site –> preventing DNA synthesis
Indications: prevention and treatment of CMV, treatment of refractory HSV and VZV
Monitor: chem 10 (renal function and electrolyte loss), CBC w/ diff (bone marrow suppression), EKG (AV block, ST wave changes)
