This document discusses antiviral drugs used to treat viral infections. It begins with an introduction to viruses and their parasitism of host cells. The history of antiviral development is covered from the 1960s onwards. Viruses are classified and several antiviral drug classes are described including anti-herpes drugs like acyclovir and famciclovir, anti-retrovirals for HIV like zidovudine and lamivudine, and the non-selective antiviral interferon. Specific viruses and the doses, mechanisms, and adverse effects of antiviral treatments are outlined. The document concludes with a discussion of herpes virus classification and post-exposure prophylaxis for preventing HIV infection.

Unlike most antibiotics, antiviral drugs do not destroy their target pathogen; instead they inhibit its development.
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.
I have tried to provide an outline regarding the general antivirals available in our country..and discussed regarding MOA,indications and Therapeutic uses.

Take care of your teeth
Achieving healthy teeth takes a lifetime of care. Even if you’ve been told that you have nice teeth, it’s crucial to take the right steps every day to take care of them and prevent problems. This involves getting the right oral care products, as well as being mindful of your daily habits.
1. Don’t go to bed without brushing your teeth
It’s no secret that the general recommendation is to brush at least twice a day. Still, many of us continue to neglect brushing our teeth at night. But brushing before bed gets rid of the germs and plaque that accumulate throughout the day.
Shop for toothbrushes online.
2. Brush properly
The way you brush is equally important — in fact, doing a poor job of brushing your teeth is almost as bad as not brushing at all. Take your time, moving the toothbrush in gentle, circular motions to remove plaque. Unremoved plaque can harden, leading to calculus buildup and gingivitis (early gum disease).
3. Don’t neglect your tongue
Plaque can also build up on your tongue. Not only can this lead to bad mouth odor, but it can lead to other oral health problems. Gently brush your tongue every time you brush your teeth.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, previously known by the provisional name 2019 novel coronavirus, is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus.
Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is the cyst arising from the cell rests of dental lamina. It can occur anywhere in the jaw, but commonly seen in the posterior part of the mandible. Radiographically, most OKCs are unilocular when presented at the periapex and can be mistaken for radicular or lateral periodontal cyst.
Childhood mumps, certain bacterial infections (for example, of the tonsils or teeth), and other diseases that are typically more common among adults (such as AIDS, Sjögren syndrome, diabetes mellitus, sarcoidosis, and bulimia) often cause swelling of the major salivary glands.
The parotid gland is a major salivary gland in many animals. In humans, the two parotid glands are present on either side of the mouth and in front of both ears. They are the largest of the salivary glands.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

⁂Viruses have been defined as submicroscopic entities
which reproduce within the specific living cells.
⁂Virus may contain either ribonucleic acid (RNA) or
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
4. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
⁂ Viruses are the ultimate expression of parasitism.
⁂ They not only take nutrition from the host cell, but also direct
its machinery to synthesize new virus particle.
⁂ In majority of acute infections viral replication is already at its
peak when symptoms appear.
⁂ To be effective, therefore, therapy has to be started in the
incubation period, i.e. has to be prophylactic.

6. HISTORYHISTORY
From 1972 to date, >50 new viruses have been found
as etiologic agents of disease.
However, it took almost 60 years for antiviral
development to reach its current status of
effectiveness.
In 1967, Kates and McAuslan described the first viral
enzyme, pox virus DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
7. HISTORYHISTORY
In 1963, Iododeoxyuridine, described earlier by
Prusoff had been shown to be active against herpes
simplex.
Secondly, amantadine had been shown not only to
inhibit influenza virus, but also to cause resistance
development.
Finally, interferon were extensively discussed as
potential antiviral drugs against several viral
infections.
8. HISTORYHISTORY
The field of antiviral drugs grew rapidly in the herpes
area with the development of acyclovir (Schaffer et
al., 1978) and other inhibitors.
Development of drugs against hepatitis B virus
(HBV) has been successful and there is a large effort
to discover drugs against hepatitis C virus.

20. FamciclovirFamciclovir
It has good oral bioavailability and prolonged
intracellular t1/2 of the active triphosphate metabolite.
Mode of action- like acyclovir it needs viral
thymidine kinase for generation of active DNA
polymerase inhibitor.

25. •• HAARTHAART- Highly Active Anti RetroviralHighly Active Anti Retroviral
TherapyTherapy
(A term coined in the late 1990s to describe the effectiveness
of combination drug therapies used to treat HIV.)
It causes suppression of HIVHIV replication and prolonging
as well as improving the quality of life of the patient.
The drugs used are zidovudine, didanosine, zalcitabine
26. HAARTHAART
Zidovudine – dose
200mg TDS or
300mg BD
Didanosine – dose
200 mg BD
Zalcitabine – it used
in combination with
Zidovudine, (.75mg
TDS)
27. ANTIRETROVIRALAGENTANTIRETROVIRALAGENT
ZidovudineZidovudine
It is thymidine analogue (Azidothymine).
ModeMode ofof actionaction – After phosphorylation in the host
cell Zidovudine triphosphate selectively inhibit viral
reverse transcriptase in preference to cellular DNA
polymerase.
29. PharmacokineticsPharmacokinetics
Oral absorption is rapid.
Bioavailability- 65%
It is quickly cleared by hepatic glucoronidase.
T1/2- 1-4 hour
15-20% of unchanged drug excreted in urine.
It crosses placenta and found in milk.
32. Drug InteractionsDrug Interactions
Paracetamol increases azidothimidine toxicity, by competing
for glucoronidation.
Azoles antifungal also inhibit azidothimidine metabolism.
UsesUses
1) Used in HIV infected patients.
2) However, beneficial effect are limited from a few months to a
couple of year after which progressively nonresponsiveness
develops.
33. LamivudineLamivudine
MechanismMechanism ofof actionaction
It inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase as well as
hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase.
Its incorporation in DNA results in chain termination.
Most human DNA polymerase are not effected & low
systemic toxicity.
34. UsesUses
• Apart from HIV lamivudine is also effective against
hepatitis B virus as it inhibit DNA polymerase in the
HBV.
• It requires long term treatment.
• It used in combination with other anti-HIV drugs, and
effective as azidothimidine.
35. Adverse effectAdverse effect
Lamivudine is well absorbed
and well tolerated with no
serious adverse effect in
therapeutic dose.
It can cause insomnia, fever,
headache, diarrhea.
Pancreatitis and neuropathy
are rare .
36. NonNon NeucleosideNeucleoside ReversetranscriptaseReversetranscriptase
Inhibitor (Inhibitor (NevirapineNevirapine))
The NNRT inhibitor bind to reverse transcriptase (are not
converted to triphosphate derivatives) & bring about the
change in the enzyme thereby inactivating the enzyme.
ModeMode ofof actionaction-- Directly inhibit HIV reverse
transcriptase without the need for intracellular phosphorylation
UsesUses- effective only against HIV-1, but do not inhibit HIV-2
37. Adverse effectAdverse effect
It can cause GI disturbances.

39. Anti Influenza Virus DrugsAnti Influenza Virus Drugs
AmantadinAmantadin
Chemically it is tricyclicic amine, unrelated to neucleic acid
precursor, but inhibit replication of influenza A virus.
A protein designated ‘M2’which act as an ion channel has
been identified as one of its target of action.
Resistance to amantadine developed by mutation causing
amino acid substitution in the M2 protein.
40. Adverse EffectAdverse Effect
Generally well tolerated
– Nausea
– Anorexia
– Insomnia
– Dizziness
– Nightmare
– Lack of mental concentration
– Postural hypertension have been reported
– Amantadine is contraindicated in epileptic
patients, as it causes convulsion
41. UsesUses
1. Prophylaxis of influenza A2, especially in
high risk patient
2. Treatment of influenza (A2): A modest
therapeutic effect (reduction in fever)
3. Parkinsonism

The application of antiviral drugs in dentistry is restricted to
treatment of oropharyngeal herpes simplex and herpes labialis
that occur particularly in immunocompromised patients.
Dentist run in the risk of accidental exposure to HIV infection,
and should be well informed about its prophylaxis.
