    Study Notes

    Hepatitis B (HBV) Treatment

    • Lamivudine (DOC):
      • Classification: Cytosine analogue, Nucleoside reverse transcriptase and polymerase inhibitor
      • MOA: Turns into active metabolite (phosphorylation by host cell), incorporated into viral DNA, disrupting replication process.
      • Metabolism & Excretion: Minimal metabolism (intracellular by sulfotransferase). Excretion is primarily through urine (mainly unchanged). Half-life: 7 hours. CYP450 minimal.
      • Side Effects: Nausea, Vomiting, Nephrotoxicity.
    • Adefovir dipivoil:
      • Classification: Adenosine nucleotide analog.
      • MOA: Leads to termination of HBV DNA. Active form is incorporated into viral DNA, which disrupts the process of replication.
      • Metabolism & Excretion: Phosphorylation (prodrug), converted to active form. Excretion primarily through urine (45% unchanged). Half-life: 7 hours. CYP450 none.
      • Side Effects: HA
    • Entecavir (Baraclude):
      • Classification: Deoxyguanosine analog.
      • MOA: Inhibits reverse transcriptase, DNA replication, and transcription, Effective in Lamivudine-resistant HBV.
      • Metabolism & Excretion: Minimal metabolism. Excreted by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion.
      • Side Effects: HA, Fatigue, Nausea, Dizziness

    Hepatitis C (HCV) Treatment

    • Mavyret (Pibrentasivir/Glecaprevir):
      • Classification: Fixed-dose combination, HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor and HCV NS5A inhibitor.
      • MOA: Inhibits HCV NS3/4A protease (cleavage of HCV-encoded polyprotein) and HCV NS5A (essential for viral RNA replication and virion assembly).
      • Metabolism & Excretion: Glecaprevir: liver, partially CYP3A4. Pibrentasivir: none. Glecaprevir excretion is in feces. Pibrentasivir excretion is in urine.
      • Side Effects: Liver failure, Angioedema, HBV reactivation, HA, Nausea, Diarrhea
    • Epclusa:
      • Classification: Combination of Sofosbuvir (HCV NS5B inhibitor) and Velpatasvir (HCV NS5A inhibitor).
      • MOA: Sofosbuvir inhibits the HCV NS5B polymerase. Velpatasvir inhibits the HCV NS5A protein. NS5A polymerase inhibitors interact with viral and host proteins. NS5B polymerase inhibitors interferes with the viral RNA polymerase.
      • Metabolism & Excretion: Sofosbuvir: liver extensively, CYP450 none. Prodrug converted to active form. Velpatasvir: liver CTYP 2B6, 2C8, 3A4. Sofosbuvir excretion is in urine (80%). Velpatasvir excretion is in feces/bile (94%).
      • Side Effects: HA, Diarrhea, Rash, Bradycardia, HBV reactivation, Angioedema, Nausea, Vomiting.

    HIV Treatment

    • Viral Fusion Inhibitors:
      • MOA: Inhibits entry of viral RNA into host cell.
      • Drugs: Enfuvirtide
    • Attachment Co-receptor Inhibitors:
      • MOA: Inhibits entry of viral RNA into host cell by blocking interaction of viral proteins with co-receptors.
      • Drug: Maraviroc
    • NRTIs (Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors):
      • MOA: Inhibit reverse transcriptase, stopping viral DNA production.
      • Drugs: Zidovudine, Abacavir, Emtricitabine, Stavudine, Didanosine, Lamivudine, Tenofovir.
    • NNRTIs (Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors):
      • MOA: Bind to and alter reverse transcriptase enzyme, stopping viral DNA production.
      • Drugs: Nevirapine, Efavirenz, Etravirine, Delavirdine, Rilpivirine

    Protease Inhibitors

    • MOA: Inhibit protease, stopping the cleavage of polyproteins.
      • Drugs: Atazanavir, Darunavir, Indinavir, Lopinavir, Nelfinavir, Saquinavir, Tipranavir, Ritonavir.

    Integrase Inhibitors

    • MOA: Inhibit integrase, preventing the incorporation of viral DNA with the human DNA.
      • Drugs: Dolutegravir, Raltegravir, Elvitegravir.

    Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

    • Amantadine:
      • MOA: Dopamine drugs.
      • Admin: 100mg PO BID x 3-5 days
      • Side Effects: Ataxia, Seizures, Dizziness
    • Rimantadine:
      • MOA: Inhibits Inosine 5-phosphate dehydrogenase, preventing the formation of guanine nucleotides and RNA synthesis.
      • Admin: Same dose as Amantadine.
      • Side Effects: GI intolerance, Prolonged QT interval, seizures. etc.
    • Ribavirin:
      • MOA: Inhibits Inosine 5-phosphate dehydrogenase.
      • Admin: Aerosol
      • Side Effects: Teratogenic, Hemolytic Anemia
