Oseltamivir, Zanamivir, Peramivir

MOA: block NA & prevent release of virions (Inf A&B)


Oseltamivir: oral; Zanamivir: topical, inhaler


Resistance: NA mutation


Uses:


Oseltamivir: Influenza A (H5N1), Prophylaxis, >3 months


Zanamivir: Prophylaxis, >7 years

Acyclovir/Valcyclovir MOA
MOA: nucleoside analogue of guanosine, activated by viral thymidine kinase, phosphorylation complete by host cellular kinases
Against which viruses do acyclo & valcyclo have good activity?

HSV & VZV; poor against CMV


prophylaxis of VZV (immunocompromised);


given orally (15-30%), IV, topical

Resistance of Acyclo/Valcyclo

Mutations in viral TK/ viral DNA pol;


genes - TK deficient

Adverse effects of Acyclo/Valcyclo; DI

(1) GI (nausea, vomit, diarrhea) & (2) neurological;


limit alcohol, pregnant use only if neccesary

Ganciclovir/Valganciclovir MOA
analogue of 2-deoxyguanine; inhibits viral DNA pol incorporation of dGTP into viral DNA; Valganciclovir is a pro-drug of ganciclovir activated in gut
Val/Ganciclovir have good activity against?
CMV; given IV, oral (limited), intraocular
Val/Ganciclovir resistance arises when
Mutant DNA pol, reduced phosphorylation by CMV phosphor-transferase, UL97
Val/Ganciclovir AE; DI

(1) bone marrow depression (neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia) & (2) neurological defects (seen in acyclo/valcyclo);


extensive & very serious DI (zidovudine, abacavir, bacitracin...)

Cidofovir MOA, resistance causes & administration

MOA: CTP analog that inhibits viral DNA pol


Resistance: mutant viral DNA pol


Admin: IV, intraocular

Cidofovir is given to which patients?
acyclovir-resistant HSV infections (HIV +); CMV in solid organ transplant
Cidofovir AE & DI

AE: (1) nephrotoxic, nausea, vomit


DI: nephrotoxic potential with nephrotoxic agents (aminoglycosides, amphotericin B)

Foscarnet MOA & resistance

MOA: Similar to pyrophosphate anion, competes for pyrophpsphate binding site on viral DNA pol, preventing viral DNA synthesis


Resistance: mutation in viral DNA pol

When is foscarnet given? Administration?

2nd line CMV retinitis, acyclovir-resistant HSV, gangiclovir-resistant CMV (if resistance not due to pol)


Admin: IV

Foscarnet AE & DI

AE: (1) nephrotoxic, (2) CNS symptoms, (3) hypokalemia, (4) hypomagnesemia


DI: nephrotoxic drugs

Ribavirin MOA & resistance

MOA: guanosine analogue that inhibits capping of viral mRNA & stops viral RNA synthesis


Resistance: mutations in Hep C

Spectrum of Ribavirin

1. Hep C: Ribavirin + IFN-a-2b


2. RSV bronchiolitis (aerosol)


3. Hantavirus (IV)

Ribavirin AE & DI

AE: (1) anemia (ribavirin-induced hemolysis


(2) teratogenic

Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir (Anti-Hep C) MOA

Ledipasvir: inhibits NS5A protein (viral replication, assembly & release)


Sofosbuvir: nucleotide analog incorporated in RNA pol that terminates viral chain

Resistance of Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir (Anti-Hep C); administration

resistance-associated substitutions;


fixed dose 1 tablet daily

Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir (Anti-Hep C) AE & DI

AE: (1) fatigue, (2) headache


DI: St. John's Wort, rifampin, amidoarone (reduced effect)

a, B Interferon MOA
Enhance expression of MHC I & II; activate JAK/STAT pathway to increase antiviral RNase
Spectrum of alpha, beta interferons

a: chronic Hep B/C, papilloma virus warts, hairy cell leukemia, Kaposi sarcoma


B: multiple sclerosis

Interferon resistance
Virus blocks downstream signaling events after IFN binds receptor (Dengue T2, Hep C isolates)
Interferon AE
(1) Leukopenia, (2) Hepatotoxicity, (3) fever, chills, malaise
Antiretroviral therapy should be INITIATED...
in all patients with (1) AIDS-defining illness (2) CD4 < 350 c/mm3
Initial ARVT is composed of (usually)
2 NRTIs + PI/NNRTI/II
Enfuvirtide (T20): what is it and what is its MOA?

synthetic 36 AA peptide; prevents viral attachment and entry via gp41



resistance develops mutation in the envelope gene

Maraviroc MOA & AE

Selectively binds CCR5 and prevents entry of HIV virus


AE: (1) Hepatotoxic (preceded by pruritic rash, eosinophilia) (2) Dizziness/postural hypotension (3) MI, ischemic events

Zidovudine (Pyrimidine analog) MOA
Thymine nucleoside analog phosphorylated to azidothymidine TTP via host thymidine kinase; inhibits viral RNA-dependent DNA pol (RT) by causing chain termination
Zidovudine DI
