Attachment
Nonspecific defenses (1st and 2nd lines)
1st = skin, mucous membrane
2nd = WBC, antimicrobial proteins, inflammation
Third line of host defense is based on _____ and consists of _____ and ______
Immunity

Why do we need antivirals? (6 reasons)
- -No vaccine or problems with them
- -Mutation
- -Reassortment
- -New infections
- -TIME to make vaccines
- -Immunosuppressive diseases
Antivirals – barriers to making effective ones? (6)
Selective toxicity Resistance Intracellular bugs Delay of Symptoms Latent phase hard to target Limited drug development
Successful drug intereferes with either…
Viral function
Cell function that virus needs
There are antivirals against which viruses?
HSV, VZV, CMV
HIV
Influenza A + B
Hep B + C
Six targets for antivirals (steps)
Before attachment Attachment Penetration/uncoating Replication of genome Protein synthesis Assembly/release
Viral disruption is effective against ______ viruses
enveloped
Nonoxynol (N9) is a ______ against ___ and ____
Detergent
HSV, HIV
Citric acid disrupts…
rhinovirus
The first group of viral attachment blocking agents rely on _____. This interferes with ____ and causes ______
neutralizing antibodies
Interferes with Binding to receptors
Causes aggregation of viral particles
Maraviroc is a _______. What is its mechanism?
CCR antagonist
Changes CCR5 shape so it cant bind gp120
Viral attachment blockers have three groups, which are…
Neutralizing antibodies
Receptor antagonists
Fusion inhibitors
Fusion inhibitor example and general mechanism.
enfuvirtide
stop HIV entry to CD4 cells
Enfuvirtide mimics…
HR2 region of gp41
gp41 is fusion protein for HIV
