Acyclovir

Bugs
MOA
oral availability
CNS penetration
elimination
Acyclovir

HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV

phosphorylated by viral TK --> inhibition of viral replication by
inhibition of viral DNA polymerase

10% bioavailability PO (valacyclovir has 50% bioavail. PO)

Penetrates CNS

renal elimination (can lead to renal insufficiency)
Fluconazole

Bugs
MOA
oral availability
CNS penetration
excretion
interactions
Fluconazole

Candida

inhibits ergosterol synthesis - binds 14-a-demethylase

IV = PO

water-soluble --> CSF penetration
long half-life (24 hrs)

renal exretion

INTERACTIONS!! (CYP 3A4, CYP 2C9)

safe
Caspofungin

Bugs
MOA
oral availability
CNS penetration
metabolism & excretion
interactions
Caspofungin:

Candida & Aspergillus
inhibit beta-glucan synthesis
IV only
half-life 10 hours
CNS penetration LIMITED b/c of high protein binding
liver metabolism, biliary excretion
few interactions
safe
Amphotericin B

Bugs
MOA
oral availability
CNS penetration
Adverse effects
Amphotericin B

broad spectrum!
systemic polyene - binds ergosterol
I.V. only
CSF levels minimal, but used for brain infections

ADVERSE REACTIONS:
NEPHROTOXICITY
infusion reactions
hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia
Differences between Ampho B & Ampho B lipid form
Lipid form LESS NEPHROTOXIC
lipid form more expensive
Voriconazole

Bugs
MOA
oral availability
CNS penetration
excretion
interactions
adverse effects
Voriconazole

Candida & Aspergillus
IV = PO
CNS penetration
biliary excretion
DRUG INTERACTIONS
transient abnormal vision 50% pts
Itraconazole
mostly used for fungi other than candida, aspergillus
Bactrim

Spectrum
MOA
oral availability
excretion
Adverse effects
Bactrim

Gram neg bacilli (E. coli, P. aeruginosa)
oral availability
high urine levels
HSR, leukopenia, hemolytic anemia w/ G6PD deficiency
Nitrofurantoin

Spectrum
MOA
oral availability
excretion
adverse effects
Nitrofurantoin

Gram neg bacilli

oral availability

high urine levels
but need high creatinine clearance to use

N/V - take with food
fluoroquinolones

spectrum
MOA
oral availability
excretion
adverse effects
fluoroquinolones

Gram neg spectrum, including P. aeruginosa
bind topoisomerase --> inhib DNA synthesis
variable resisitance
oral availability - don't take w/ IRON or CAFFEINE

high levels kidney, prostate, urine
urinary excretion

nausea, insomnia, dizziness

spectrum
MOA
resistance
oral availability
excretion
dosing cautions
adverse effects
Aminoglycosides (Gentamicin)

Gram negative bacilli (like FQs)
inhibiti protein synthesis (30S subunit)
resistance 2* drug inactivation
NOT absorbed orally
excreted in urine
dose with respect to Cr clearance
NEPHROTOXIC
OTOTOXIC
Penicillins:

narrow -
broad -
antistaph -
extended -
Penicillins:

narrow - Pen G (S. PNA, syphillis)
broad - ampicillin (S. PNA)
antistaph - naficillin
extended - piperacillin (P. aeruginosa)
Macrolides

spectrum
MOA
oral availability
resistance
Macrolides

broad spectrum against respiratory pathogens
inhibit protein synthesis (50S subunit)
orally absorbed
resistance b/c of ACTIVE EFFLUX and change in binding site
Consequences of liver metabolisms of macrolides
clarithromycin + statins = bad

azithromycin NOT heavily metabolized in liver, can be used with statins
significance of telithromycin
latest in macrolide family (actually a ketolide)

least resistance
most hepatotoxicity
3 nephrotoxic antibiotic classes
