Antivirals Essential idea Antiviral medications have recently been developed for some viral infections while others are still being researched. How are bacteria and viruses different?

Bacterial and viral infections Bacterial infections: bronchitis, tuberculosis, throat infections, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, salmonella, Viral infections: AIDS, influenza, rabies, common cold, small pox, measles, polio, ebola, SARS, birdflu, H1N1, ...

Differences between viruses and bacteria Viruses – need a host cell bacteria are self-reproducing i.e. by cell division – do not need a host   viruses are not self-reproducing as they need a host cell to multiply; viruses insert DNA into host cells – after reproduction the host cell dies bacteria are able to grow, feed and excrete viruses lack any metabolic functions so they do not grow, feed or excrete bacteria contain organelles such as cytoplasm, cell wall and a nucleus which all perform specific functions viruses consist only of genetic material and protective coating, no cell wall, no nucleus and no cytoplasm bacteria are (many times) larger than viruses viruses are smaller than bacteria bacteria have more complex DNA viruses have simpler DNA bacteria mutate/multiply slower than viruses; viruses mutate/multiply (much) faster than bacteria

Action of antivirals (1) As viruses do not have the essential cell structures and genetic material to make new viral particles they need to use the structures and genetic material in host cells. Antiviral drugs all aim to interfere with one aspect of the life cycle of the virus they target by preventing the virus to use the cell’s structures and genetic material in the host cell to make new viral particles.

Action of antivirals (2) Blocking the virus from entering the host cell by causing structural changes in the cell membrane of the host cell or deactivating enzymes. Altering the host cell’s genetic material so it cannot be used by the virus to multiply e.g. prevents the transcription of the viral RNA into host cell DNA. Preventing the virus from multiplying by blocking enzyme activity in the host cell. Preventing the new viral particles from leaving the host cell (neuraminidase inhibitors).

Examples: Tamiflu and Relenza The flu virus has an enzyme called neuraminidase (=target molecule of antiviral drug) that binds with the active site in a substrate molecule called sialic acid that is part of the host cell membrane. This binding action provides a pathway with a lower activation energy for a reaction that allows new viral particles (after multiplication) to leave the host cell and infect the rest of the body.

Tamiflu and Relenza Tamiflu and Relenza target the neuraminidase enzyme and inhibit its action by preventing it from binding with the sialic acid. How? Tamiflu and Relenza can do this as they have a similar structure to the sialic acid in the cell membrane and can therefore also bond with the active site (=receptor) on the neuraminidase of the virus preventing it from bonding with the sialic acid in the cell membrane.

Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) Tamiflu and Relenza Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) Zanamivir (Relenza)   alkenyl ether primary amine carboxyamide ester carboxyl hydroxyl (4) Some bacterial resistance Oral More bacterial resistance Inhalation – low bioavailability if taken orally

AIDS virus HIV invades white blood cells or CD4+ T cells and causes the disease AIDS that causes the failure of the immune system and this also allows other life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia and cancer to affect the person carrying the HIV. The HIV uses its genetic information in the form of RNA to instruct the while blood cell’s DNA to produce new viral particles.

Antiretroviral drugs As any antiviral drugs, antiretroviral drugs aim to interfere in HIV’s life cycle and achieve by doing one of the following: Preventing the virus from binding to the receptor on the CD4+ T cell membrane and by doing so preventing the virus from entering the CD4+ T cell. Interfering in the reverse transcription process of the viral RNA into viral DNA. Interfering in the integration of the viral DNA into the CD4+ T cell’s chromosome. Interrupting the release of new viral particles from the CD4+ T cell’s surface.

Difficulties associated with solving the AIDS problems HIV viruses can mutate rapidly even within a HIV carrier. As HIV targets white blood cells, any antiretroviral drug needs to target white blood cells that are meant to protect us against other pathogens. HIV lies dormant for a while. Socioeconomic: high price of antiretroviral drugs, cost to state, access to drugs. Cultural issues: discrimination, stigma high price of antiretroviral drugs.
