sacral ganglion
VZV causes what
chickenpox as kids
shingles as reativation in adults
CMV is what
most adults have it but no symptoms, symptoms seen in immunocompromised
retinitis in AIDS pts
acyclovir MOA
competitive inhibitor of viral DNA polymerase
incorporates into DNA
chain terminator
does acyclovir require phosphorylations
yes, three
first by viral enzyme
acyclovir resistance
mutations in viral thymidine kinase and viral DNA polymerase
valacyclovir MOA
competitive inhibitor of viral DNA polymerase
incorporates into DNA to act as chain terminator
valacyclovir metabolism
converted to acyclovir by esterases in intestine and liver after intestinal transport
valacyclovir resistance
mutations in viral thymidine kinase and viral DNA polymerase
penciclovir is active form of what
famciclovir
penciclovir / famciclovir MOA
competitive inhibitor of viral DNA polymerase
chain termination but not immediate
which drug has chain termination but allows short elongation before
penciclovir
famciclovir
acyclovir
valacyclovir
penciclovir
famciclovir
how is famciclovir converted to penciclovir
first pass metabolism
ganciclovir MOA
competitive inhibitor of viral DNA polymerase
chain termination but not immediate
(same as penciclovir)
ganciclovir more active against what
CMV
ganciclovir
