Term
inhibits penetration of RNA viral particles into the host cell
inhibits early stages of viral replication by blocking the uncoating of the viral genome and the transfer of nucleic acid into the host cell.
resistance develops within days of treatment
Definition
MOA of amantadine and rimantadine
Term
rapidly and completely absorbed from GI tract
crosses the BBB and it is distributed in saliva, nasal secretions, and breast milk
no evidence of metabolism
excretion: unaltered drug via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion
Definition
ADME of amantadine and rimantadine
Term
CNS (at therapeutic levels): minor and resolve despite continuation of therapy (dizziness, nervousness, difficulty in concentrating, and insomnia)
more serious CNS effects in patients with decreased renal function and high doses (seizures, delirium)
tremors/parkinsonian patients
depression
orthostatic hypotension
psychosis
urinary retention
congestive heart failure
GI: nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and anorexia
Definition
ADRs of amantadine and rimantadine
Term
antihistamines or anticholinergic drugs: CNS adverse effects
drugs that undergo active tubular secretion may alter amantadine excretion
sulfonamide/trimethoprim: increase amantadine toxicity
Definition
drug interactions of amantadine and rimantadine
Term
mutations cause antigenic changes on HG and NA
Definition
what is the main determinant of antigenicity and host immunity?
Term
removes sialic acid from surface glycoproteins during viral maturation
required to produce infectious particles
lowers viscosity of mucin layer of the respiratory tract
Definition
what is the function of neuraminidase?
Term
zanamivir and oseltamivir
NA-catalyzed removal of sialic acid residues from a glycoprotein
the cleavage of sialic bonds facilitates the spread of viruses by enhancing adsorption to cell surface receptors -> increases the infective level of the virus
in the absence of sialic acid cleavage, viral aggregation or inappropriate binding to hemagglutinin occurs -> no spread of the virus
[image]
Definition
MOA of neuraminidase inhibitors
Term
similar structure to sialic acid
zanamivir:
[image]
guanidine group is believed to increase binding affinity to NA
effective via the nasal, INTRAPERITONEAL AND IV ROUTES (BUT NOT CLINICALLY USED); inactive via oral administration
oseltamivir:
[image]
more binding sites to NA
[image]
top is normal function, bottom is action of NAI
NAI will get in the active site of NA, stabilize the enzyme by forming a complex and NA will not be able to break the HG/sialic acid bond, virus cannot escape from the host cell
TRANSITION STATE BASED INHIBITION - zanamivir and oseltamivir resemble the transition state of sialic acid, but have higher binding affinities to NA than sialic acid
resistance is due to mutation/changes in the enzyme binding site
Definition
MOA of zanamivir and oseltamivir
Term
PRODRUG
metabolism:
[image]
active metabolite is the free acid, other metabolites are a hydroxylation of the side chain
absorption: oral and rapidly absorbed and cleaved by esterases in GI tract and liver - bioavailability 80%
distribution: well distributed (volume of distribution = extracellular water)
excretion: prodrug and metabolite eliminated in urine
Definition
ADME of oseltamivir
Term

ACID-FAST BACILLI (AFB): staining used instead of gram staining
[image]
HYDROPHOBIC with a high lipid content in the cell wall
unique cell envelope: mycolic acids and arabinogalactan bridges/linkages = virulence factors
peptidoglycan layer - much like gram + (doesn't have an outer cell wall like gram -)
cytoplasmic membrane - mannophosphoinositide = virulence factor
cell wall is unique in structure and complexity
suggested to be responsible for mycobacterium: pathogenicity or virulence, multiple drug resistance, cell permeability, immunoreactivity, inhibition of antigen responsiveness, disease persistence and recrudescence (a new outbreak after a period of abatement or inactivity)

Definition
1st line antimycobacterial drugs
Term
specific for mycobacteria
BACTERICIDAL against replicating bacilli
BACTERIOSTATIC (at best) against dormant or semidormant populations
effective against intracellular and extracellular abcteria
after treatment mycobacteria loses its acid fastness -> meaning isoniazid interferes with cell wall development
ISONIAZIDE IS A PRODRUG that must be activated by a bacterial enzyme that in M. tuberculosis is called KatG (catalase peroxidase enzyme)
KatG couples the isonicotinic acid with NADH, this complex binds tightly to InhA blocking the action of fatty acid synthase
this process inhibits the synthesis of mycolic acid (required for the mycobacterial cell wall)
Definition
MOA of isoniazide
Term
administration: oral and IM
absorption: rapid from the GI tract (better with empty stomach)
plasma concentrations (same for oral and IM)
does not bind to plasma protein - distribution throughout body water

passes through placenta and breast milk
metabolized by acetylation in the liver
[image]
isoniazid and metabolites are excreted in the urine
the metabolites are less toxic and more rapidly excreted
no effect on patients with liver disease
Definition

drug interactions: alcohol and aluminum-containing antacids
Definition

active against SLOW GROWING AND SLOW METABOLIZING, NON GROWING bacilli
inhibition of RNA synthesis: interacts directly with DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (DDRP)
non-covalent but tight binding - has no effect on transcription initiation, it inhibits elongation of full length transcripts: inhibits ELONGATION, protein synthesis must have started in order for rifampin to bind to the active site
more active than ethambutol and as effective as isoniazid
used in combination to prevent resistance
Definition

commonly during the third to sixth month of therapy
dose related
common in the intermittent or interrupted administration (bi-weekly or once weekly)
Definition

BACTERIOSTATIC
active only against mycobacteria
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is resistant
active against DIVIDING BACTERIA
enters bacteria through passive diffusion
inhibits the incorporation of mycolic acids into the cell wall: ethambutol mimics the building blocks of mycobacterial cell walls (mycolic acid), ethambutol is incorporated into the cell wall making it weak
given in combination so other drugs can get through the weak cell wall and exert their effects
Definition
MOA of ethambutol
Term
