Term
Oseltamivir and Zanamivir MOA, use
Definition
-amavir = "Antiviral Mechanism: Inhibit VIron Release"
sialic acid analogues, bind to Neuraminidase of a budding viron, preventing it from cleaving the cell receptor bound to hemagglutinin. virus can't release and proliferate
use: Inluenza A and B
Term
Oseltamivir and Zanamivir mode of administration? contraindications?
Definition
Oseltamivir - oral, prodrug ester; none
Zanamivir - inhaled; can't use in COPD or Asthma
Term
Rimantadine and Amantidine MOA, use
Definition
-mantidine: "Man to Dine" takes of his coat
block the M2 proton pump of endosomes
H+ can't enter endosome and disintegrate the viral capsid and allow contents to be released into the cell
Use: Influenza A only
Term
antigenic shift
Definition
two or more virus strains combine to form a new virus with a novel mix of surface antigens
can lead to pandemics (e.g. H1NI
Term
which antivirals work for H1N1?
Definition
98.9% susceptible to Oseltamivir and Zanamivir but not Amantidine and Rimantadine
Term
Ribavirin; virus, disease, MOA, ADRs
Definition
Respiratory syncytial virus - LRTI in children and immune compromised
Lassa virus - Lassa fever
Hepatits C Virus
MOA: inhibits RNA dependent RNA polymerase
ADRs: dose dependent anemia and elevated bilirubin, contraindicated in pregnancy
Term
Lassa fever
Definition
RNA virus, hemorrhagic fever
Can bleed to death from bloody diarrhea and bloody mucous membranes
Must treat within first 24 hours of symptoms
Term
types of Herpesviridae
Definition
Herpes Simplex Virus
Varicella Zoster
Cytomegalovirus
Term
MOA of DNA antivirals
Definition
nucleoside/tide analogues
Nucleosides first phosphorylated by virus kinases then converted to triphosphates by host kinases
1. incorporated into viral DNA -> chain termination
2. Competatively inhibit viral DNA polymerase -> inhibition of viral DNA synthesis
Term
Herpes simplex virus; diseases, DOC, alternative drugs
Definition
HSV-1: orofacial herpes
HSV-2: genital herpes
DOC: Acyclovir
Alternatives: Foscarnet or Famciclovir
Term
Varicella Zoster Virus, diseases, DOC, alternative drugs
Definition
Chicken pox and Varicella Zoster (shingles)
DOC: Acyclovir
Alternatives: Foscarnet or Famciclovir
Term
Cytomegalovirus; diseases, DOC, alternative drugs`
Definition
Pneumonia (common in transplant recipients
retinitis and colitis (common in patients w/ HIV)
DOC: Ganiciclovir
Alternatives: Foscarnet and Cidofovir
Term
Acyclovir; MOA, virus, disease, ADRs
Definition
MOA: inhibit viral DNA polymerase
Virus: HSV and VZV
Disease: labial and genital herpes; chicken pox and shingles
ADRs: generally well tolerated, nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity and very high doses
Term
Ganciclovir, MOA, virus, disease, ADRs
Definition
MOA: inhibit viral DNA polymerase
virus: CMV
disease: CMV retinitis
ADRs: bone marrow suppression and mucositis
Term
Foscarnet, MOA, virus, disease, ADRs
Definition
MOA: Inhibit viral DNA polymerase
virus: HSV, VZV, CMV
disease: CMV retinitis, acyclovir resistant HSV and VZV
ADRs: dose limiting nephrotoxicity, hypocalcaemia (which can hurt kidneys); NO bone marrow suppression
Term
DOC for Hepatitis C Virus? Hep B?
Definition
Hep C: PEGylated interferon a + ribavirin
Hep B: PEGylated interferon OR lamividine
