Mech: Taken in cell phosphorylated by viral thymidine kinase concentrates in infected
herpes cell (30-300x) competes w/ dGTP inhibits viral DNA pol chain termination
a. Works during the viral synthesis phase
Use: DOC Herpes (wide range of uses), esp. genital
( viral shedding, pain, formation of new lesions, speed of healing,)
SE:
a. Non-toxic to normal cells at therapeutic doses = minimal side-effects

Mech: Viral neuraminidase inhibitors for influenza A and B virus cant get out of the cell
GI (nausea, vomiting)
Respiratory
Mech: Block uncoating of virus (cloaking inhibitors)

Hallutionations (increased dopamine)
Doesn't cross BBB, no CNS Sx
Mech : uncertain (inhibits viral mRNA synthesis)
Use: RSV, hepatitis C (used in almost all protocols), herpes simplex, and influenza
a. Combined w/ IFN to tx of Hep C
SE:
a. TERATOGENIC!!!
b. aerosol = pulmonary issues (eg dyspnea)
c. oral = anemia, depression
d. IFN/Ribavirin combo. = anemia and depression SE = watch out!
(ABCDE = A, anemia; B, breathing (SOB,); C, chest sore, cardiac; D, depression); E, embryo
dmg)
Monoclonal ab. confers passive immunity to RSV (not commonly used)
Mech:inhibits HBV DNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase
Use: DOC Hep B, also used in HIV (not IFN, old DOC)

(synthesis, replication, translation, transcription, processing, penetration,release)
Use:
a. most common for Hep C
b. Chronic Hep B too
c. Combo tx = (IFN-2b + Ribavirin ) SE
(+ serine protease inhibitor) if still not effective
