Pharmacophore of any drug is the active part of the molecular that is responsible for its biological or pharmacological effects. Nevirapine structure has a hydrogen bond acceptor, hydrogen bond donor, hydrophobic atom/group, aromatic ring center and direction, nonaromatic ring center and direction, negatively charged group center, and positively charged group center. Each of these have different effects and can be easily identified on the structure of molecule. Other drugs with similar pharmacophore include erlotinib and zanamivir among many others.

Please design a drug that is an antimicrobial (antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antihelminth), yes a magic bullet. You must explain the mode of action of the antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antihelminth portions of your magic bullet. Please explain how your drug will be administered to your patient, and how would you test your drug? Make sure you choose your target sites on each microbe very carefully so you achieve selective toxicity and limiting side effects in your patient
Describe why it can be challenging to develop an antiviral drug that lacks toxic side effects. Explain how viruses with small genomes can encode for multiple proteins. List the two methods viruses use to escape host cells.
1. Remdesivir is an antiviral drug that was developed as a treatment for the Ebola virus and the Marburg virus. It is currently in clinical trials as a treatment for COVID-19. NH2 LON HOOH remdesivir The following questions are about the boxed portion of remdesivir, drawn below as its own molecule. a) Fill in the boxes about the hybridization and orbitals of this heterocycle. What is the hybridization of this N? o What orbital does this lone pair occupy? What...
The patient being treated with the antiviral agent amantadine. While the patient is receiving the drug, the np should monitor the following: a. gait b. weight c. mental acuity d. hearing
Chapter 40 Acyclovir Valacyclovir Anti-herpetic antiviral (synthetic nucleoside analogue) Amantadine (not commonly used) Oseltamivir Anti-influenza antiviral Drug Name Drug Class & Indication(s) Contraindications Common Adverse Effects Major Interactions Review instructions for applying topical How soon should anti-flu drugs be Nurse Considerations: (Examples: Age, renal/hepatic precautions, safety administration, lab monitoring, patient teaching)
As group, construct a table listing common classes of antiviral drugs ( agents for influenza A and respiratory viruses, agents for herpes and CMV, agents for HIV/AIDS, and topical agents). Label columns for therapeutic actions, pharmacokinetics, contraindications, common adverse reactions, and important drug-drug interactions. Complete the table for each antiviral group. Pharmacology
(26 points) Kineties of an Antiviral Drug. In 2016, Nature reported the discovery of a small molecule (GS-5734) that exhibited antiviral activity against the Ebola virus in rhesus monkeys (Nature, 2016, 331.381-385). That drug, now called remdesivir, is drawing renewed attention as a possible treatment for COVID-19. In the original study, the drug was administered by intravenous injection, 10 mg of GS-5734 per kg body weight of the rhesus monkey. A. (6 points) What's the typical body weight of a...
Summarize the mode of action of major groups of antimicrobial and antiviral drugs. Summarize practices that have led to increased bacterial antibiotic resistance and strategize ways to limit this increased resistance. Describe factors to be taken into account when selecting antimicrobial and antiviral drugs;including drug effects on patients and teratogens.
The patient is a 22 year old female who is 16 weeks pregnant and is scheduled to begin antiviral treatment for HIV. An appropriate antiviral medication for this patient would be: a. delvirdine b. efavirenz c. rilipivirine d. nevirapine
