MOA: (-) attachment, penetration & uncoating of influenza A virus Use: PROPHYLAXIS ONLY! o Can decrease duration of symptoms by 1-2 days Form: ORAL only! AE: CNS effects o Nervousness o Insomnia o Hallucination o Seizure in OD With RESISTANCE!

thymidine kinase of host cell ACYCLOVIR TRIPHOSPHATE inhibit DNA polymerase (DNA chain) DNA polymerase seen in HSV & VZV Use: o viral shedding in genital herpes o Acute neuritis in shingles o Symptoms in early chickenpox (only lessen the lesion) *given on the early stage (few lesions) o Prophylactic in immunocompromised MOT of chickenpox: Respiratory droplet AE: in IV (crystalluria & Neurotoxic) Resistance: o due to changes in DNA polymerase o decrease activity of TK Treated/ lessens the ff diseases: o Herpes lesion painful vesicular lesion o Herpes/ Cold sore reactivation of herpes infection o Chickenpox Shingles reactivated form; prone in immunocompromised

CD4 cells
Only prevent damage; NOT to inhibit!

Foscarnet
MOA: NOT an antimetabolite, but still (-) viral DNA & RNA polymerases USE: identical to Ganciclovir (HSV, VZV, CMV), but > activity versue acyclovir-resistant strains of HSV Form: IV AE: Dose-limiting nephrotoxicity with ATN, electrolyte calcium imbalance tremors & seizures

Viral RNA Opportunistic infection

Non-Nucleoside RTIs
NOT given alone! Resistance emerges if used individually Additive/ Synergistic against HIV

Examples of NRTIs

Zidovudine (Azidothymidine, ZDV, AZT)


MOA: Zidovudine triphosphate RT (viral chain termination) Form: Oral AE: Dose-limiting hematotoxicity (PMN, RBC, Platelet) may require blood transfusion, HA, Asthenia, myalgia, myopathy, peripheral neuropathy, lactic acidosis Resistance: mutation in the gene that codes RT *All NRTIs cause peripheral neuropathy Other NRTIs MOA: Same as AZT Resistance: Same as AZT AE: *different Didanosine, DDI Pancreatitis (major, dose-limiting) peripheral neuropathy, hyperuricemia, liver dysfunction Peripheral neuropathy (major, dose-limiting) GI distress, pancreatitis, neutropenia, rash Peripheral neuropathy (major, dose-limiting) myelosuppression < ZDV Least toxic of NRTIs, but some GI effects & neutropenia >this can give to hepatitis >both antiviral & antihepatitis

Famicyclovir & Valacyclovir


MOA: same as acyclovir Activity against strains resistant to acyclovir, but NOT TK-strains Against DNA polymerase

Ganciclovir
MOA: same as Acyclovir (NOT DNA chain termination) Resistance: same as acyclovir USE: HSV, VZV, CMV (prophylaxis & tx) o CMV can cause retinitis, IMI Form: Oral, IV, & Retinal implant AE: o Dose-limiting hematotoxicity (WBC) o Mucositis o Fever, rash, crystalluria
