final exam individual drugs

What two drugs are bacteriostatic and work by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis?

chloramphenicol and clindamycin

What drug is bactericidal and antiprotozoal and interferes with DNA synthesis (full mechanism not entirely understood)?

metronidazole

What drug is bactericidal and interferes with cell wall synthesis?

vancomycin

What is a bactericidal synergistic drug combination that inhibits bacterial protein syntheis?

quinupristin-dalfopristin

What drug is bacteriostatic and inhibits bacterial protein synthesis?

linezolid

What drug is bactericidal and inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis?

telavancin

What drug is bactericidal and is thought to damage the bacterial cell membrane?

daptomycin

What drug is fungistatic and binds keratin preventing fungi from using the protein for nutrients, also binds lipid constituents of growing fungi and inhibiting mitosis?

griseofulvin

What two non-HIV antivirals prevent influenza virus uncoating its nucloside and releasing viral DNA into the cell?

amantadine and rimantadine

What two non-HIV antivirals are neuramindase inhibitors which causes sialic acid analog to preferentially attach to viral surface protein preventing release of viral clones, host cell penetration and infection is inhibited?

oseltamivir and zanamivir

What non-HIV drugs are nucleoside analogs that are incorporated into viral DNA and prevent synthesis?

acyclovir, valacyclovir, idoxuridine, and ganciclovir

What non-HIV antiviral works in healthy cells to inhibit viral fusion with the cell membrane and prevent further infection?

docosanol

What non-HIV antiviral works by guanosine replacement, full mechanism unknown, thought to interfere with RNA and DNA synthesis?

ribavirin

What non-HIV antiviral is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor?

entecavir

What non-HIV antiviral is an RNA polymerase inhibitor?

sofosbuvir
