Term
Influenza virus A, B (orthomyxovirus) DNA/RNA, symptoms, drug of choice, alternatives
Definition
RNA; flu, pneumonia (if <5,>65, pregnant); DOC: oseltamivir; alt: zanamivir, amantadine, rimantadine
Term
oseltamivir mode of action, delivery, contraindication, tx?
Definition
neuraminidase inhibitor (sialic analog); oral prodrug; not if <1; tx: flu A, B, H1N1
Term
Zanamivir mode of action, delivery, contraindication, resistance, tx, SE?
Definition
neuraminidase inhibitor (sialic analog); inhalation; not if < 7 yo; resistance: neuraminidase change; tx: flu; SE: respiratory irritation, bronchospasm (no: if COPD/asthma)
Term
Amantadine/Rimantadine mode of action, resistance, tx
Definition
blocks M2 proton pump on virus (pumps in endosome H+, lowers pH which denatures viral capsid and endosome membrane; resistance: AM2 amino acid change; tx: flu A (AM2 H+ pump) NOT B (BM2), not H1NI (new M2 pump?), also: amantadine used for Parkinson (increases dopamine release and decreases dopamine reuptake)... "A man to dine, takes off coat"...stops coat from denaturing
Term
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV, paramyxo virus) DNA/RNA, symptoms, drug of choice
Definition
RNA; broncholitis, viral pneumonia in kids/immunosuppressed people; doc: ribavirin
Term
ribavirin mode of action, tx, SEs (3)
Definition
blocks RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (guanosine nucleoside analog - must be phosphorylated by host kinase); tx: RSV, Lassa fever (hemorrhagic), hepatitis C (HCV) with PEGylated interferon alpha (for HBV use lamivudine + PEG); SE: 1) dose dependent anemia (affects highly replicating RBCs) 2) elevated bilirubin 3) teratogen (no if pregnant)
Term
Herpes Simplex (HSV) and Varicella Zoster (VZV) DNA/RNA, symptoms, drug of choice, alternatives
Definition
DNA; sx: HSV-1 orofacial, HSV-2 genital/ VZV chicken pox, shingles; acyclovir; foscarnet, famciclovir
Term
acyclovir mode of action; resistance, tx, SE?
Definition
inhibits viral DNA polymerase (G-nucleoside analog), strong affinity for thymidine kinase and viral DNA polymerase; tx: HSV, VZV; SE: nephro and neurotoxic at high dose
Term
foscarnet mode of action, tx, SE, advantage?
Definition
inhibition of viral DNA polymerase at pyrophosphate binding site (pyrophoshate is a DNA polymerase cofactor, drug is an analog of cofactor); tx: for HSV, VZV if acyclovir resistant or use if have retinitis caused by CMV; SE: dose dependent nephrotoxicity, hypocalcemia (PO4 and Ca travel together out of blood); NO bone marrow suppression since viral specific
Term
famciclovir mode of action, resistance, tx?
Definition
prodrug that inhibits DNA polymerase (G-nucleoside analog), strong affinity for thymidine kinase and viral DNA polymerase; resistance: change to viral kinase or viral DNA polymerase; tx: alt drug for HSV and VZV
Term
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA/RNA, symptoms, drug of choice, alternatives
Definition
DNA; pneumonia (transplant px), retinitis/colitis (AIDS px); doc: ganciclovir; alt: foscarnet, cidofovir
Term
ganciclovir mode of action, resistance, tx, SE (2)?
Definition
inhibits viral DNA polymerase (G-nucleoside analog), affinity for UL97 & viral DNA polymerase (less than HSV/VZV drugs); resistance: change to viral kinase or viral DNA polymerase; SE: 1) mone marrow suppression 2) mucositis (due to lower selectivity for viral kinase and DNA polymerase)
Term
neuraminidase
Definition
releases flu virus from infected cell by cleaving cell's sialic acid from virus' hemagglutinin
Term
-amivir
Definition
ending for antiviral drugs that inhibit viral release from infected cell (Antiviral Mechanism Inhibits VIral Release)
Term
antigenic shift
Definition
strains of one virus or different viruses combine to form virus with a novel combination of antigens
Term
pegylated interferon alpha (PEG)
Definition
natural substance in the body that fights viruses
Term
RNA viruses? DNA viruses
Definition
RNA: Flu, H1N1, RSV (respiratory syncytial), Lassa, HBV/HCV (Hepatitis B/C); DNA: HSV (herpes simplex), VZV (varicella zoster), CMV (cytomegalovirus)
Term
Antiviral G nucleoside analogs examples (enzymes used)
Definition
Ganciclovir (UL 97), Acyclovir (thymidine kinase), Penciclovir (thymidine kinase)...GAP (close GAP on Guanosine with A viral Phosphate)
