first line agents for TB
isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, streptomycin
2nd line agents for TB
amikacin, cipro, levofloxacin, rifabutin, rifapentine, ethionamide, cycloserine, capreomycin, P-aminosalicylic acid
MDR TB
strains resistant to at least the two main first line TB drugs- isoniazid and rifampicin
XDR TB
also resistant to the best second line drugs, fluroroquinolones and at least one of three injectible drugs such as amikacin, kanamycin or capreomycin
isoniazid
most active drug and good penetration of macrophages
MOA and MOR of isoniazid
inhibits synthesis of mycolic acids by targeting inhA,,,,, mutation of inhA gene, mutation of katG gent
pharmokinetic prop of isoniazid
liver metabolism, inhibits p450
adverse reactions of isoniazid
increased serum aminotransferase, hepatotox, peripheral neuropathy, seizure by decreasing GABA
contraindications of isoniazid
allergy, previous isoniazid induced hepatotox, acute liver disease
MOA rifampin
inhibits RNA synthesis by binding to the b subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase
MOR rifampin
point mutations of rpoB gener
clinical usesof rifampin
active tb, alternative to isoniazid prophylaxis, leprosy
adverse reactions of rifampin
reddish color in urine sweat tears, rashes, renal failure, hepatitis, thrombocytopenia
drug interactions
inducer of most p450 enzymes
moa ethambutol
inhibits mycobacterial arabinosyl transferase, interferes with the polymerization of arabinoglycan
pharmacokinetics
accumulate in renal failure
adverse reactions of ethambutol
dose related retrobulbar neuritis
pyrazinamide
prodrug, active against mycobacteria in the acidic lysosomes
mor pyrazinamide
mutations in the pncA gene
adverse reactions of pyrazinamide
hepatotox, hyperuricemia, polyarthralgia
whats in rifater
isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinmide
whats in 4-FDC
isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol
MOA and clinical use of streptomycin
aminoglycoside, irreversible inhibition of 30s ribosome, used as an injectable drug
adverse rxn of streptomycin
ototox and nephrotox
amikacin
aminoglycoside, used for streptomycin resistant TB
ciprofloxacin and levoflox
fluoroquinolones, active against m tuburculosis and atypical mycobacteria
Fifabutin
inhibit bacterial RNA polymerase, less potent inducer of p450 enzymes, good for hiv infected patients
rifapentine
potent inducer of p450 enzymes, avoided in hiv pts, inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase
ethionamide
blocks the synthesis of mycolic acid
aminosalicylic acid
folate synthesis antagonist
capreomycin
protein synthesis inhibitor, injectible for drug resistant TB, adverse rxn are nephrotox and ototox
cycloserine
inhibits cell wall synthesis, peripheral neuropathy, cns dysfunction… taken with pyridoxine and serum concentration should be monitored
treatment for m avium complex (MAC)
clarithro or azithro+ethambutol with or without rifabutin
two forms of leprosy
tuburculoid- PB milder… lepromatous- MB severe
pb leprosy drugs
rifampin, dapsone
mb leprosy drugs
rifampin, dapsone, clofazimine
dapsone
inhibit folate synthesis and dihydropteroate syntheatase, adverse rxn, hemolysis, g6pd, erythema nodosum leprosum
rifampin
inhibits rna polymerase, induces p450 enzymes
clofazimine
used for sulfone resistant leprosy, adverse rsn, gi intolerance dry skin and discoloration
m leprae drugs
dapsone plus rifampin plus clofazimine
alternative second line drugs for TB
amikacin, rifabutin rifapentine, cipro, levo, ethionamide, p aminosalacylic acid, capreomycin, cycloserine
