Antiherpes Agents:
Overview:
Antiviral drugs targeting herpes viruses are designed to inhibit the replication of these viruses, which include herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). These drugs are essential in managing and treating infections caused by herpes viruses.
Types of Antiherpes Agents:
Nucleoside Analogues:
Acyclovir: Acyclovir is a prototypical antiviral drug effective against HSV and VZV. It is a nucleoside analogue that inhibits viral DNA synthesis by competing with the natural nucleoside and becoming incorporated into the growing viral DNA chain, leading to chain termination.
Valacyclovir: Valacyclovir is a prodrug of acyclovir, meaning it is converted into acyclovir in the body. It is often used for the treatment of genital herpes, shingles, and cold sores.
Famciclovir: Another prodrug, famciclovir is converted to penciclovir, which inhibits viral DNA polymerase. It is used for the treatment of herpes zoster and recurrent genital herpes.
Nucleotide Analogues:
Cidofovir: Cidofovir is a nucleotide analogue that inhibits viral DNA polymerase. It is used in severe cases of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and acyclovir-resistant HSV infections.
Protein Kinase Inhibitors:
Foscarnet: Foscarnet is a non-nucleoside analogue that inhibits viral DNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase. It is used in the treatment of acyclovir-resistant HSV and CMV infections.
Mechanism of Action:
Most antiherpes agents interfere with viral DNA synthesis. Nucleoside analogues are incorporated into the growing DNA chain, leading to premature termination, while nucleotide analogues act as chain terminators directly. Protein kinase inhibitors disrupt the phosphorylation process crucial for viral DNA synthesis.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of antiherpes agents include nausea, headache, and diarrhea. More severe side effects are rare but may include kidney dysfunction, especially with prolonged use.
Drug Resistance:
The emergence of drug-resistant strains, particularly in immunocompromised patients, is a concern. Combination therapy and close monitoring are strategies employed to mitigate resistance.
Anti-influenza Agents:
Overview:
Anti-influenza agents are crucial for managing influenza, a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses. These drugs aim to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms and prevent complications.
Types of Anti-influenza Agents:
Neuraminidase Inhibitors:
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu): Oseltamivir inhibits the neuraminidase enzyme, preventing the release of newly formed viral particles from infected cells. It is effective against both influenza A and B viruses.
Zanamivir (Relenza): Zanamivir is another neuraminidase inhibitor delivered through inhalation. It also prevents the release of new virions from infected cells.
Adamantanes:
Amantadine: Amantadine inhibits the M2 ion channel, inhibiting the release of viral genetic material into the host cell.
Antiviral drugs are a class of medications used to treat viral infections by inhibiting the replication or growth of viruses in the body. These drugs work by targeting specific components of a virus, such as the viral enzymes, proteins, or nucleic acids, and disrupting their ability to infect or replicate inside host cells. This can help reduce the severity of symptoms, prevent complications, and speed up recovery.
There are many types of antiviral drugs available, including:
1. Nucleoside or nucleotide analogues: These drugs mimic the structure of the nucleosides or nucleotides needed for viral replication, thereby interfering with virus replication.
2. Protease inhibitors: These drugs block the activity of viral proteases, which are enzymes that are required for the replication and assembly of some viruses.
3. Interferons: These drugs are naturally occurring proteins that help the immune system fight viral infections by boosting the body's antiviral response.
4. Neuraminidase inhibitors: These drugs block the activity of viral neuraminidase, an enzyme that is required for the release of virus particles from infected cells.
5. Fusion inhibitors: These drugs block the fusion of viral and host cell membranes, which is an essential step in viral entry and replication.
Antiviral drugs can be used to treat a variety of viral infections, including influenza, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, herpes, and Ebola. However, the effectiveness of these drugs can vary depending on the specific virus and the stage of infection. Antiviral drugs may also have side effects, and it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking them.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

10. Anti-Herpes Virus
• Acyclovir :
• Acyclovir is the prototypic antiherpetic therapeutic
agent.
• Acyclovir is active only against herpes group of viruses;
Herpes simplex virus-1 is most sensitive followed by
Herpes simplex virus-2 > varicella-zoster virus =
Epstein–Barr virus, while Cytomegalovirus is practically
not affected.
12. Anti-Herpes Virus
• Pharmacokinetics: Acyclovir is administered by
intravenous (IV), oral, or topical routes. The drug
distributes well throughout the body, including the
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Acyclovir is partially
metabolized to an inactive product. Excretion into the
urine occurs both by glomerular filtration and tubular
secretion.
13. Anti-Herpes Virus
• Use of acyclovir:
• Genital Herpes simplex (caused by type-2 virus)
• Mucocutaneous H. simplex (caused by type-1 virus)
• H. simplex encephalitis (type-1 virus)
• H. simplex (type I) keratitis
• H. simplex (type I) keratitis
• Herpes zoster
• Chickenpox
14. Anti-Herpes Virus
• Valacyclovir: The valyl ester, valacyclovir, has greater
oral bioavailability than acyclovir. it is the drug of
choice in herpes zoster.
• Famciclovir: It is an ester prodrug of a guanine
nucleoside analogue penciclovir (the active
metabolite of famciclovir). Famciclovir inhibits H.
simplex, H. zoster but not acyclovir-resistant strains.
