antifolate drugs that inhibit microbial enzymes involved in folic acid synthesis

sulfonamides
selective inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase
trimethoprim
weakly acidic compounds that have a common chemical nucleus resembling PABA
sulfonamides
where are sulfonamides metabolized
liver
what happens to sulfonamides with acidic urine
decreases solubility - increased risk for stones
which sulfa can you give to reduce the liklihood of precipitation
triple sulfa
short acting sulfonamide
sulfisoxazole
intermediate acting sulfonamide
sulfamethoxazole

long acting sulfonamide

Sulfadoxine

drug structurally similar to folic acid and is excreted in high concentrations in prostatic and vaginal fluids, large amount excreted unchanged in the urine
trimethoprim
MOA of sulfonamide
bacteriostatic inhibitor of folic acid synthesis

COMPETITVE INHIBITOR OF DIHYDROPTEROATE SYNTHASE
why do sulfonamides not harm mammallian folate synthesis
because mammalian cells use preformed folic acid, not denovo formed
trimethoprim MOA
dihydrofolate reductase that prevents formation of the active form of folic acid
what is treatment with both trimethoprim and sulfonamide called
sequential blockade
increased production of what from bacteria will increase resistance to sulfonamides
PABA
what are sulfonamides active against
gram positive and gram negative
what two organisms are sulfonamides active against
chlamydia and nocardia
simple UTI, ocular infections, burn infections, ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis and toxoplasmosis can be treated with what class
sulfonamides
effective orally in the tx of UTIs and in respiratory, ear and sinus infections by h influenzae and moraxella catarrhalis
