Week 10
Antiviral
• Viruses - obligate intracellular microorganisms
• Utilize- host metabolic enzymes and ribosomes for protein synthesis
• Drugs for viruses must penetrate host cells.
• Might negatively impact normal pathways of the host
• Narrow therapeutic index compared to antibacterials
• Interfere with
• viral nucleic acid synthesis
• Regulation
• viral cell binding- attachment/penetration (antiviral antibodies-gamma globulin)
• virus uncoating (interferon, amantadine, rimantadine)
• metabolic pathways
• Early translation-fomivirsen
• Transcription- inhibitors of DNA polymerase, Inhibitors of RNA dependent DNA polymerase
• nucleic acid analogs - RNA and DNA production.
• Inhibition of single steps in the viral replication – virustatic (temporary)- needs host immune response.
• Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)
• Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs)
• Protease inhibitors (PIs)
• Integrase inhibitors (INSTIs)
• Fusion inhibitors (FIs)
• Chemokine receptor antagonists (CCR5 antagonists)
Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors- (NRTI)
• Block reverse transcriptase
• This enzyme reverse transcriptase to convert its RNA into DNA (reverse transcription)
• HOW? Activated- phosphorylation to the triphosphate form by
cellular enzymes- competes with cellular triphosphates, which are substrates for proviral DNA by viral reverse transcriptase.
NRTI
• Entecavir
• Abacavir
• Tenofovir
• Adefovir
• Lamivudine
• Zidovudine
• Telbivudine
• Stavudine
• Emtricitabine
• Didanosine
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs)- Non-nukes
• Binding directly to the enzyme- at a site different from the nucleoside binding component- cause an allosteric inhibition of the transcriptase
• Nevirapine
• delavirdine
• efavirenz
Protease inhibitors
• Synthetic drugs - inhibit the action of HIV-1 protease (cleaves two precursor proteins into smaller fragments)- necessary for viral
growth, infectivity and replication.
• Bind to the active site of the protease enzyme - prevent the maturation of the newly produced virions – making them non- infectious.
Protease inhibitors
• Boceprevir
• Simeprevir
• Fosamprenavir
• Lopinavir
• Darunavir
• Telaprevir
• Tipranavir
• Ritonavir
• Arazanavir
• Nelfinavir
• Indinavir
• Saquinavir
Integrase inhibitors (INIs)
• Block the action of integrase, a viral enzyme that inserts the viral genome into the DNA of the host cell.
• Dolutegravir
• Elvitegravir
• Raltegravir
Fusion inhibitors
• Blocking cognate virus–receptor interactions is the most obvious antiviral paradigm for entry inhibitors- maraviroc- CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5)
• cholesterol and unsaturated phospholipids can increase and decrease membrane rigidity
• maraviroc
• enfuvirtide
CCR5 inhibitors
• Prevent- CD4 T-cells by blocking the CCR5 receptor- Maraviroc
•
• When the CCR5 receptor is unavailable, tropic site cannot engage with a CD4 T-cell to infect the cell.
• Aplaviroc
• Vicriviroc
• Anionic polymer
Virus attachment to the host cell
• Chemokine receptor inhibito, CD4 inhibitör, Enfuvirtide
Virus entry
• NRTI
• NNRTI
Reverse transcription
• Integrase inhibitors
Integration of viral DNA into host genome Trasncription and translation
• PIs
Proteolytic processing of viral proteins Budding of new virüs particles
• Foot and Moth Disease
• antiviral treatment in a vaccinated zone could protect against viral dissemination and fill the time gap between vaccination and the development of protective immunity.
• ribavirin, 2 -C-methylcytidine, pyrazinecarboxamide ′ ′
• Immunomodulators such as IFN
• Acyclic nucleoside phosphonates- cidofovir
• Feline herpesvirus1- Aciclovir, ganciclovir and penciclovir are acyclic nucleoside, recombinant feline IFN-ω
• Feline retrovirus- IFN
• Canine viral- feline IFN-ω is licensed for use in dogs with CPV-2 (canine parvoviral) clinical infection
