2 VIRUSES Obligate intracellular parasites Consist of a core genome in a protein shell and some are surrounded by a lipoprotein lack a cell wall and cell membrane do not carry out metabolic processes Replication depends on the host cell machinery 2

3 VIRUSES Steps for Viral Replication 1) adsorption and penetration into cell 2) uncoating of viral nucleic acid 3) synthesis of regulatory proteins 4) synthesis of RNA or DNA 5) synthesis of structural proteins 6) assembly of viral particles 7) release from host cell 3

4 ANTIVIRAL AGENTS Block viral entry into the cell or must work inside the cell Most agents are pyrimidine or purine nucleoside analogs 4

28 o Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors AntiRetroviral Agents Zidovudine(AZT) Didanosine- causes pancreatitis* Lamivudine- causes pancreatitis Zalcitabine- causes peripheral neuropathy* Stavudine- causes peripheral neuropathy* Abacavir 28

29 Mechanism of Action Zidovudine(AZT) AntiRetroviral Agents Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors A deoxythymidine analog enters the cell via passive diffusion must be converted to the triphosphateform by mammalian thymidine kinase competitively inhibits deoxythymidinetriphosphatefor the reverse transcriptase enzyme causes chain termination 29

30 Mechanism of Resistance Zidovudine(AZT) AntiRetroviral Agents Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors Due to mutations in the reverse transcriptase gene More frequent after prolong therapy and in persons with hiv 30

31 Clinical Uses Zidovudine AntiRetroviral Agents Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors Available in IV and oral formulations activity against HIV-1, HIV-2, and human T cell lymphotropic viruses mainly used for treatment of HIV, decreases rate of progression and prolongs survival prevents mother to newborn transmission of HIV 31

32 AntiRetroviral Agents Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors Side Effects Zidovudine Myelosuppression, including anemia and neutropenia GI intolerance, headaches, and insomnia 32

45 AntiRetroviral Agents Protease Inhibitors Fusion Inhibitors Enfuvirtide(T-20)-binds to the gp41 subunit of the viral envelope glycoprotein, preventing the conformational changes required for fusion of the viral and cellular membranes By blocking fusion (entry into cell), FUZEON prevents HIV from infecting CD4 cells 45

46 Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) and protease inhibitor (PI) classes prevent the replication of HIV by working inside CD4 cells after they have been infected with HIV. The drugs in these three classes then target specific steps in the replication process to prevent the creation of new HIV particles. Fusion inhibitors differ from these drugs because they work on the outside of the cell to prevent HIV from fusing with, and infecting the CD4 cells in the first place. from 46 Fuzeon.com
