Antiviral Therapy Flashcards
DNA Viruses
Chicken Pox
Herpes
Cytomegalovirus
Hepatitis B
RNA Viruses
Influenzaa A,B,C
Resouratiry Syncytial Virus
Hepatitis C
RNA Retrovirsus
HIV-1/HIV-2
Infection Process
Adsorption Penetration/uncoating Replication, transcription and translation Assembly Releaase of New virus Secondary Infection
Inhibition of viral DNA Polymerase
Acyclovir
Ganciclovir
Resembles Base analogs
Inhibition of uncoating of RNA virsus
Amantidine/Rimantidine
Hepatitis C RNA polymerase inhibitor
Ribavirin
RNA Virus Budding Inhibitor
Zanamivir
Oseltamivir
Peramivir
RNA retrovirus (HIV) drug families
Adhesion inhibitors
Nucleaside/non-nucleoside RT inhibitors
Integrase inhibitors
Protease inhibitors
Immune activation against virus
Macrophage to APC
APC to CD4+ Th cell w/ IL-1
IL-2 Autocrine on CD4+ T helper -> Th1 and Th2
Th1 creates IFN
Interferon Functions
Activates killer cells
Induces resistance of other host cell to virus
Antibody effects on virus
Binds antigen = neutralization
Fc on antibody allows macrophage opsonization = phagocytosis
Active immunizaation
Vacination with antiviral vaccines = celluar and hemoral response
Cellular and humoral activated
Passive immunization
Inject antiviral antibodies
Use for treatment aand prophalyxis
Last 1-3 months
Interferon production
Specialized interferon producing cells have TLR7 and 9 that recognize viral DNA/RNA = type 1 secretion
Interferon Induced Genes Effects
Inhibit:
Viral penetration and uncoating
Viral transcription
Viral translation
Viral protein gylcosylation
Activate:
killer cells
Interferon Alpha Spectrum
Most rna and DNA viruses
Retroviruses
