Presentation Transcript

  1. Antiviral agents

  2. Viruses treatable with antiviral drugs • HSV • VZV • CMV • HIV • Influenza A and B • Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) • Hepatitis A, B, and C viruses (HAV;HBV;HCV) • Papilloma • Picornavirus

  3. Agents active against Herpesviruses-I • Acyclovir • Cidofovir • Famciclovir and penciclovir • Foscarnet • Fomivirsen

  4. Agents active against Herpesviruses-II • Ganciclovir • Valacyclovir • Valganciclovir • Vidarabine • Topical agents: -Trifluridine -Vidarabine

  5. Revolution in the field of Infectious diseases: • The availability of • Increasing number of antiviral agents • Against a broadening spectrum of viral pathogens

  6. Mechanism of action of antiviral agents • is essential , • for appropriate clinical use and • for understanding and managing antiviral resistance !

  7. Acyclovir • HSV encephalitis • Neonatal HSV infection • Primer genital HSV • Mucosal and cutaneous HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections in immunocompromised patients • VZV infection • Recurrent genital herpes

  8. Acyclovir resistance • Mutation • either in viral TK or • DNA polymerase genes.

  9. Cidofovir • Broad activity: -adenoviruses -herpesviruses -papovaviruses -poxviruses

  10. Cidofovir • Prophylaxis and treatment of CMV retinitis in patients with AIDS • Acyclovir and foscarnet resistent HSV infections

  11. Famciclovir and Penciclovir • DNA polimerase inhibitor • Nucleoside analogue • Famciclovir: synthetic • Active metobolite: penciclovir • 1% topical penciclovir

  12. Famciclovir • Singles (acute zoster) • Genital HSV • Mucocutaneous HSV in HIV infected patients

  13. Foscarnet • Pyrophosphate analogue • DNA polymerase inhibitor • RT inhibitor • Active agains all herpesviruses, HIV, HBV

  14. Foscarnet • CMV retinitis in AIDS patients • Acyclovir resistant mucuccutaneous HSV infections in AIDS patients • Gancyclovir resistant CMV pulmoner infections in AIDS patients • Acyclovir resistant VZV infections in AIDS patients

  15. Fomivirsen • Inhibits viral replication by antisense mechanism: its a nucleotide sequence which is complementary to a sequence in mRNA transkript and translation is inhibited. • Intravitreal injection for CMV retinitis

  16. Ganciclovir • Guanoside analogue • DNA polimerase inhibitor • Similar to acyclovir • i.v, oral and intraocular application

  17. Ganciclovir • Prevention and treatment of • CMV retinitis in AIDS patients • CMV disease in transplant patients

  18. Valacyclovir • Active metobolite= acyclovir

  19. Vidarabine • Nucleosid analogue • First licensed systemic antiviral agent • Acyclovir has supplanted vidarabine

  20. Topical agents for HSV keratitis • Trifluridine • Vidarabine

  21. Interferons • Low molecular weight proteins • With complex antiviral, immunomodulating, antiproliferative activities. • Produced by eucaryotic cells in response to various inducers: viruses • 3 types: IFN-a, IFN-β , INF- δ • IFN-a2b: widest application • Pegilated- IFN-a: + polyethylene glycol to the interferon, through a process known as pegylation, enhances the half-life of the interferon when compared to its native form.

  22. HIV(Human immunodeficeincy virus) • Nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors:Zidovudine (azidothymidine) • Non- Nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors • Protease inhibitors • Fusion inhibitors • Integrase inhibitors

  23. Hepatitis C: Interferon-a, ribavirin • Hepatitis B: INF-a, lamivudine (reverse transcriptase inhibitor), adefovir, … • Papillomavirus: Interferon-a • RSV: Ribavirin • CMV:ganciclovir, foscarnet • VZV: valacyclovir, famciclovir • Picornavirus: pleconaril

  24. Anti-influenza drugs • Influenza A: • Amantadine • Rimantadine 2. Influenza A and B • Zanamivir: enzyme inhibitors of neurominidase, virus release is inhibited. • Oseltamavir: the same • The length of disease is reduced if taken within the first 48hours
