Definition:• Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used
specifically for treating or controlling viral infections. Like antibiotics for bacteria, specific antivirals are used for specific viruses. Unlike most antibiotics, antivirals do not destroy their target pathogen; instead they inhibit their development.

DNA polymerase inhibitorsMechanism of action: The drug to exhibit it’s action, it should get convert to its active
metabolite via three phosphorylation steps.
In the presence of enzyme known as viral thymidine kinase, drug will convert into it’s monophosphate.
The monophosphate will further convert into diphosphate by an enzyme called Guanidylate kinase.
Finally, the diphosphate converts into triphosphate, which is an active metabolite.

The active metabolite inibits viral DNA polymerase
Thus, preventing the replication of DNA by terminating the elongation of the viral DNA
chain.

PHARMACOKINETICS:Absorption: Only about 20% of an oral dose of Acyclovir
is absorbed.
![Page 9: Anti viral agents](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b9591a28abdd348b70df/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
DISTRIBUTION: It is little plasma protein bound and is widely
distributed attaining CSF concentration that is 50% of plasma concentration.
It penetrates cornea well.
![Page 10: Anti viral agents](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b9591a28abdd348b70df/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ELIMINATION: It is primarily excreted unchanged in urine,
both by glomerular filtration and tubular
secretion.
It’s plasma half life is 2-3 hours in healthy
persons and 20 hrs in patients with renal failure.

THERAPEUTIC USES Herpes simplex virus -1 (which causes herpes labialis,herpes esophagitis,herpes keratitis,herpes encephalitis and ocular herpes) Herpes simplex virus -2 (genital herpes) Varicella Zoster Virus (chicken pox and shingles) Epstein Barr Virus Cytomegalovirus
![Page 12: Anti viral agents](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b9591a28abdd348b70df/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ADVERSE EFFECTS Topical: stinging and burning sensation after each
application. Oral: Headache, nausea, malaise and some CNS
effects are reported. Intravenous: Rashes, sweating, emesis, hypotension.

DRUG INTERACTIONS Cyclosporine and other nephrotoxic agents may increase the risk of renal toxicity. Probencid inhibits the renal excretion of Acyclovir.
![Page 14: Anti viral agents](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b9591a28abdd348b70df/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FOSCARNET: It is an inorganic pyrophosphate derivative. It does not require phosphorylation for inhibitting viral DNA polymerase, but inhibits herpetic DNA polymerase activity by blocking the pyrophosphate binding site on the enzyme. The cleavage of the pyrophosphate moiety from the newly attached nucleotide is thus prevented which in turn inhibits viral chain elongation. It is 100 times more selective for Herpes DNA polymerase than for mammalian DNA polymerase.

PHARMACOKINETICS It has very poor bio-availability, hence administered intravenously. It accumulates in aqueous humour and bones. It is eliminated unchanged in urine.

ADAMANTASE DERIVATIVES
AMANTADNE AND RIMANTIDINE:
• Both drugs are effective against influenza A virus and have negligible activity against influenza B virus and mumps virus.
![Page 32: Anti viral agents](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b9591a28abdd348b70df/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
