Q

Why was the the development of lamivudine so improtant?

A

AZT (zidovudine) was orginally the only antiretroval drug for years but resistance was extensive and significantly toxic:
* Combination with 3TC allows lower dosage of each drug and double mutants provided suboptimal fitness

Q

MOA of Abacavir?

A

26
Q

Structure of tenofovir disoproxil?

A

TNF: an acyclic 2’deoxyadenosisne monophosphate analog

27
Q

MOA of tenofovir?

A

Inhibition and chain termination:
1. Only 2 phosphorylation steps
2. Tenofovir -> MP -> DP
3. Contains a phosphate group that can’t be cleaved by esterases making it difficult to cleave off compounds

28
Q

29
Q

What is the active form of tenofovir disoproxil?

A

30
Q

How is tenofovir alafenamide activated?

A

Esterase or spontaneous metabolism

31
Q

What is the rate limiting step of NTRIs?

A

Phosphorylation of nucleosides to monophosphate -> broad SOA and require differen enzymes

32
Q

What is the MOA of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors?

A

Bind to allosteric site of RT -> inhibiting it
* binding is relatively loose
* Doesn’t inhibit cell DNA polymerase

33
Q

Resistance of NNRTIs?

A

Doesn’t compete with natural sbstrates -> low barrier to resistance
* A single mutation can lead to widespread class resistance
* Are not cross-resistant with NRTIs
