  • Back
  • 3rd side (hint)
What are the Non-misc. Anthelmintics (anti helminths) end with
"bedazoles"
What are the 3 benddazole (anthelmintics)
Bezimidazoles:
Albendazole
Mebendazole
Thiabendazole (cutaneous)
What are the 3 miscellaneous Anthelmintics
Ivermectin
Praziquantel
Pyrentel pamoate
What is suspected MOA of Benzimidazole(s)
Inbx Microtubule via beta-tubulin binding
--> Decrease of Glucose Transport
Ibx of Mitochondrial Fumarate reductase
==Immobilize Worm = death
How efficacious are Benzimidazoles for worms
VERY, 1x dose for most
--Albendazole is even more effect---most COMMONLY Selected
--Thiabendazole is limited use due to toxicity--cutaneous only
Which misc anthelmintic binds selectively with high affinity to GLutamate-Gated Cl- ion channels
Ivermectin (misc.)
--Induces hyperpolarization resulting in tonic paralysis of the worms
How efficacious is Ivermectin as an Anthelmintec
Good with single dose
-PRoduces Massive muscular contraction of worm that results in paralysis and eath
What does Praziquantel do
Inc cell mem perm.= Intracellular Calcium
-Causes MASSIVE contractions, ends in paralysis of mm.=death
--disintigeration of schistosome tegument
---Efficacy seen in single doses OR 3 dose regime
Which drug is a depolarizing neuromuscular blocker
Pyrntel pamoate
--another anthelmintec
--Opens Non-selective cation channels = Stims release of Acetylcholin = MASSIVE muscular contractions that lead to paralysis and death
(like succinyl choline--cause mm. contraction until mm. waste energy = paralysis)
what is efficacy of pyrantel pamoate
very good, 1x does for most worms, more if heavy infection
moving on to
Anti-Protozoals
--2 are ALSO antibacterial
What family of Antiobiotic s is teh Paromomycin, used as an Anit-Protozoals (AnProt)?
Aminoglycoside
--ibx 30s ribosomal
--note used as antibiotic as other aminoglycs are---its anti-protozoa
What is Metronidazoles sister drug?
What is MOA for both?
Tinidazole

-Prodrug, activated by electron trans chain, creates nitro-radicals disrupting DNA
What are AE of Metronidazole & Tinidazole
Metallic Taste--M for Metro
-Disulfiram-like reaction
---severe Sx with ETOH intake
--GI distress
How do Atovaquone-Proguanil work?
Atovaquone interferes with Mito ATP activity
-Proguanil ibx some weird proteins
What is MOA for Mefloquine and Chloroquine
--efficacious
MOA unknown--suggest Nucleic Acid dysruption
--somehow kills the Protazoa
--works, but limited due to Toxicity
What Anti-Prota is an alkaloid naturally occuring
Quinine
-from Cinchona Tree
What is MOA for Quinine?
Unknown--elevates pH of vesicles
Pyrimethamine-Sulfadoxine
--what are separate MOAs of this
Pyrimethamine--works similar to many antibiotics with dihydrofolate reductase (FOlic Acid Ibs)--ie, Trimethoprim-aka Bactrim--

Sulfadoxin--ibx bacterial dihydropteroate synthase--intereferes with PABA-p aminobenzoic acid--needed for folic acid
Moving on to Drug of Choice per
the Type of Infection/Organism
--Give primary drug per organism listed (backup listed just fyi--DONT need to know both)
