pharmacology 3.3A Anti-virals Flashcards
Interferon alfa
Blocks viral penetration to host cell membrane
Doc Mara En Pal
Doconasol
Maraviroc
Enfuviride
Palivizumab
Blocks viral attachment and entry
A-man Ri-man
Amantadine
Rimantadine
Blocks viral uncoating
N,NN,FAE
NRTI NNRTI Foscarnet Acyclovir Entecavir
Blocks viral nucleic acid synthesis
Protease inhibitors (ritonavir,indinavir)
Blocks late protein synthesis and processing
Neuraminidase inhibitors (zanamivir, oseltamivir)
Blocks viral release/exit from host cell
Acyclovir
Valacyclovir
Famciclovir
Tx for HSV and VZV
Famciclovir and valacyclovir
Superior Tx for Herpes Zoster
Acyclovir
Panciclovir
Ganciclovir
Phosphorylated by virus’ thymidine kinase
Trifluridine
Cidofovir
Prevents host kinase phosphorylation
Foscarnet
Prevents competitive inhibition of viral DNA polymerase -> inhibition of viral DNA synthesis
Acyclovir
Acyclic guanosine derivative
Acyclovir
Both a substrate and an inhibitor of viral DNA Polymerase (chain termination because lacks 3’-OH)
Acyclovir
HSV: decreases viral shedding in genital herpes
Acyclovir
ADR:
Crystalluria (maintain full hydration)
Neurotoxicity
NOT hematotoxic
Valacyclovir and Famciclovir
Prodrug Lesser post herpetic neuralgia Tx for HSV infections High bioavailability High CSF advantage
Valacyclovir
Improved acyclovir
Lesser pst herpetic neuralgia
Famciclovir
Does NOT cause chain termination because has 3’-OH
Prodrug of penciclovir
Doconazole
Topical cream
Inhibits viral entry and attachment to host cell
Trifluridine
Effect on 2nd phase phosphorylation
Ganciclovir
Foscarnet
Cidofovir
Against CMV
Ganciclovir
1st phosphorylation viral-specific via phosphotransferase
May cause chain termination
Inhibits viral DNA polymerase
IV,Oral, Intraocular implant
Ganciclovir
ADR:
Dose-limiting hematotoxicity
Crystalluria (maintain hydration)
Seizures in intraocular implant form
Foscarnet
Not an antimetabolite
Inhibits viral DNA and RNA polymerases and HIV reverse transcriptase without initial phosphorylation by viral enzyme
Does NOT cause chain termination
Foscarnet
ADR:
Dose-limiting nephrotoxicity with acute tubular necrosis
Hypocalcemia (electrolyte imbalance)
Avoid:
Pentamidine (more pronounced hypocalcemia)
Amphotericin B and aminoglycosides (nephrotoxic)
Cidofovir
Cytosine nucleotide analog
Independent of viral enzyme phosphorylation
NRTI NNRTI PI: protease inhibitors Fi: fusion inhibitors HAART
Azidothymidine (AZT)
Anti retroviral agents
NRTI (nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor)
Competitively inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase
Incorporated into DNA causing chain termination
