Term
Vidarabine: MOA
Definition
  • Purine Derivative
  • Competes with natural substrate (Adenisone?) --> incorporated into DNA faster than natural substrate
  • Phosphorylated faster than natural substrate (Adenisone?) --> necessary for competitive inhibition of HSV DNA Polymerase
  • The deamination of vidarabine to hypoxanthine arabinoside results in an OH group where the NH2 used to be --> still has antiviral activity
  • Potent inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase and DNA polymerase  --> interferes with viral nucleic acid replication
  • Competitive inhibition of HSV DNA Polymerase (dATP)
  • Higher Selective Toxicity compared to IUdR and Trifluridine
Term
Acyclovir: MOA
Definition
  • Highly selective inhibitor of HSV replication

Term
Acyclovir: Adverse Effects
Definition

Renal Toxicity: due to precipitation in renal tubules (nausea, emesis, flank pain, increasing azotemia)

 

Cimetidine and Probenecid decrease renal clearance and increase plasma concentration of Acyclovir

Term

Definition
  • Phosphorylated by Herpesvirus-Specific Thymidine Kinase

  • Competitive Inhibition of Viral DNA Polymerase

  • Competitive Inhibition of Viral DNA Polymerase
Term

Definition
