Antiviral D.

Drugs

DrugInformation
Acyclovir against HSV1, HSV2, VZV --> drug of choice for CNS, visceral, disseminated infections
Acyclovir Best data use in children, pregnancy --> can reduce risk of transmission if mom w/ genital herpes
Acyclovir MOA: 3 steps 1) converted to acyclovir monophosphate with TK 2) 2 more P added to form active drug acyclovir triphosphate 3) Acyclovir triphosphate competes with deoxyguanosine triphosphate as substrate for viral DNA polymerase (prevents further elongat.)
Acyclovir 5 times a da, poor availability
Acyclovir AE: IV: phlebitis and renal dysfunction; PO: GI disturbance and headache
Famciclovir PO only
Famciclovir Against HSV1, HSV2, VZV
Famciclovir Metabolized to penciclovir in the body --> 1st past metabolism
Famciclovir Improved bioavailability, 3/days
Valacyclovir PO only
Valacyclovir Metabolized to acyclovir
Valacyclovir Valine ester prodrug of acyclovir
Valacyclovir AE: TTP/HUS
Zovirax Prescription only
Denavir Prescription only
Abreva Over-the-counter
Abreva inhibits fusion between HSV and plasma membrane
Trifluridine nucleoside analog, active against acyclovir resistant strains of HSV
Trifluridine Irreversible inhibition of thymidylate synthetase
Ganciclovir Against systemic CMV, CMV retinitis
Ganciclovir Initially phosphorylated by UL97
Ganciclovir Poor availability
Ganciclovir AE: Teratogenir, carcinogenic, myelosuppression, liver + kidney dysfn
Valganciclovir PO only
Valganciclovir Oral prodrug of ganciclovir
Valganciclovir Improved bioavailability
Valganciclovir Prevention of CMV in transplant and Tx of systemic CMV --> not FDA approved
Foscavir IV only --> slow infusion and large fluid volume
Foscavir against CMV
Foscavir Pyrophosphate analog --> doesn't require activation by TK nor phosphorylation
Foscavir Inhibits DNA, RNA polymerase
Foscavir Can deposit in bone
Foscavir Poor bioavailability and GI intolerance --> no PO
Foscavir AE: Nephrotoxicity, Electrolyte disturbance, GI side effect, bone marrow suppression
Cidofovir Cytosine nucleoside analog
Cidofovir IV only
Cidofovir Used primarily for CMV, resistant HSV/VZV, rare viruses
Cidofovir 2 Phosphorylations --> monophosphate kinase and pyruvate kinase NOT TK
Cidofovir Not available commercially, but coumpounded as topical cream for genital warts
Cidofovir AE: metabolic acidosis, netropenia, nephrotoxicity (give with NS and probenecid)
Fomivirisen Unique MOA --> binds to mRNA; last hope tx for CMV retinitis
Amantadine and Rimantadine Prevention and tx of influenza A
Amantadine and Rimantadine Blocks M2 which impairs viral uncoating
Rimantadine Hepatically metabolized before excretion
Amantadine and Rimantadine AE: GI and CNS effects
Oseltamivir and Zanamivir Prevention and tx of influenza A & B; decrease risk of complication
Zanamivir Inhalation, rare resistance, not FDA approved for inluenza prevention, AE: bronchoplasm
Oseltamivir and Zanamivir Neuraminidase inhibitor --> can't release new virus and becomes noninfectious
Interferons Hepatitis antiviral and immunomodulary (RNA & prot), given SC or IM, with ribavirin if tx of HCV
Interferons AE: Flu-like symptoms or injection site rxn, depression, more muscle spasticity
Ribavirin Never as monotherapy for HCV, pregnancy category X, hemolytic anemia
Imiquimod cream for human papillomavirus
Palivizumab monoclonal antibody, for prevention of repiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
HAART Treatment of HIV infection --> monitor CD4 cell count and HIV RNA levels
Enfuvirtide aka T20 Fusion inhibitor --> binds to gp4; AE: hypersensitivity
NRTI (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors) --> stauvudine, didanosine, zidovudine AE: mitochondrial toxicity, lipoatrophy except with abacavir
Didanosine Only NRTIs taken with regards to meals
NNRTIs (delavirdine, efavirenz, nevirapine) Rash, EFV: CNS effect, NVP: hepatotoxicity; more drug interactions
Protease inhibitors AE: increased serum glucose and cholesterol, lipodystrophy (fat dep. in back), hepatotoxicity, highest drug interaction among HIV meds
Zidovudine + NRTIs and PI or nevirapine Prevention of perinatal transmission
