how is ritonavir (Norvir) used in therapy?
it is a "booster" for PIs
40
how does ritonavir affect the CYP system?
potent 3A4 inhibitor and substrate 2D6 substrate has mixed dose-dependent induction and inhibition of other phase 1 and 2 enzymes
41
Fuzeon (enfuviritide) MOA
binds to the first heptad-repeated in the gp41 subunit of viral envelop glycoprotein. inhibits fusion of HIV virus with CD4 cells by blocking the conformational change in gp41 required for membrane fusion and entry into cell
42
Fuzeon drug interactions
NONE
43
Fuzeon BBW/ADRs
``` Hypersensitivity immune reconstitution syndrome injection site reactions pneumonia use caution in patients with coagulation disorders or receiving anticoagulants - increased risk of bleeding at injection site do not use in ART-naive patients ```
44
CCR5 antagonist MOA
selectively and reversibly binds to chemokine coreceptors located on human CD4 cells. prevents interaction between human CCR5 coreceptor and the gp120 conformation change required for HIV fusion with CD4 cell and subsequent cell entry
45
CCR5 drugs
Selzentry - maraviroc (MVC)
46
Selzentry drug interactions
3A4 inducers and inhibitors
