Which drugs work on ribosomes?
Macrolides
Clindamycin
Quinupristin/Dalfopristin
Linezolid
Which drugs work on the membrane
Polymyxin and daptomycin
Which drugs work on the cell wall
Bacitracin and vancomycin
What is the difference between Clarithomycin and azithromycin
1) Clarith has a much longer halflife
2) Clarith has to be adjusted for renal insufficiency
3) Calrith is metabolized by p450
Macrolides Mech and spectrum
Clarithomycin and azithromycin:
Mech: Bind to 50s inhibiting protein synth.
Uses: Given for resp infections.
Active against G+ cocci like strep and pneumonia, active against G- baccili like influenza and bordetella. Active against Mycobacteria.
Not active for G+ enterococcus, staph. Not for anaerobes.
Macrolides pharmacokinetcs (admin, distrib, elim)
Admin: Can be oral
Distrib: Not to CNS, bound to protein.
Elim: Clarith is metabolized by liver and inhibits p450. Excreted in Urine.
Azith is excreted hepatically, does not effect p450.
Macrolides resistance
Via plasmid. Resistance to one is to both.
1) Increased efflux via pumps
2) Production of methylase, modifies target site.
3) Hydrolysis by esterase.
Macrolides side effects and drug interactions
SE: Naseua, GI, Diarhea. Clarith can increase QT.
DI: Clarith inhibits p450
Clindamycin Mech and spectrum
Mech: Binds to 50s inhibits protein synth.
Spectrum: Good for Ana and Aer G+ as well as Ana G-.
Not good for enterococcus, or C.dificile.
Clindamycin pharmacokinetcs (admin, distrib, elim)
Admin: Can be oral
Distrib: No CNS, widely distribed even to bones. Bound to proetin
Elim: Metabolized and excreted by liver (therefore can still get C.dificile even if IV).
Clindamycin Resistance
Via mech similar to macrolides and chloramphenicol via methylation of ribosomes reducing affinity for drug. All 3 of these classes therefor will have Cx resistance.
Clindamycin side effects and drug interactions
SE: C. Dificile, Neuromuscular blockade.
DI: Additive with neuromuscular blockers
Quinupristin/Dalfopristin mech and spectrum
Mech: Quin binds to 50s at same site as macrolides, dalf binds to a nearby site.
Spectrum: Good for G+ aerobes. Good for VRE (e.faecium).
Bad for anaerobes, G-, VSE (e.fecalis)
Quinupristin/Dalfopristin pharmacokinetcs (admin, distrib, elim)
Admin: Central Vein IV
Distrib: No CNS
Elim: Metabolized by p450 and excreted hepatically.
Quinupristin/Dalfopristin Side effects and drug interactions
SE: Not for preg. arthralgia, myalgia.
DI: Inhibits p450s
Linezolid Mech and spectrum
Mech: Binds to 50s at a unique binding site preventing 70s formation.
Spectrum: Good for G+, good for VRE and MRSA.
Bad for G-, anaerobes
Linezolid pharmacokinetcs (admin, distrib, elim)
Admin: Can be oral
Distrib: Goes to CNS,
Elim: Urine
Linezolid Resistance
Due to mutation of 50s, no Cx resistance with other drugs though.
Linezolid Side effects and Drug interactions
SE: Rash, mild thrombocytopenia/leukopenia
DI: May enhance effects of seritonergic drugs like SSRIs. Can also cause hypertensive crisis if given with pseudoephedrine.
Bactrin Mech and spectrum
Mech: Inhibits cell wall synth
Spec: Topically for conjunctivitis and infected corneal ulcers.
Good for G+ cocci, Sprochets, Some G- like Nesseria and H. influenza
Bactrin pharmacokinetcs (admin, distrib, elim)
Admin: Usually topically, never oral.
Distrib: While not usually systemic, can get to CNS
Elim: Feces
Bactrin Side effects and drug interactions
SE: Nephrotoxicity if given perenternaly.
DI: Increase NM blockade by non-depolarizing muscle relaxants.
Polymyxins Mech and Spec
Mech: Cationic detergents that effect cell membrane function
Spec: Usually used Topically. Good for G-, pseudomonas
Bad for Anaerobes
Polymyxins pharmacokinetcs (admin, distrib, elim)
Admin: Usually topical, not given oral.
Distrib: No CNS
Elim: Urine
Polymyxins side effects and drug interactions
SE: Nephrotoxicity if given perenternaly. Adjust dose for renal failure.
DI: Increase NM blockade by non-depolarizing muscle relaxants.
Daptomycin Mech and Spec
Mech: Disrupts bacterial membranes and Oxphos.
Spec: Good for G+ aerobes, MRSA, E.fecalis/faecium, VRE
Not good for anaerobes or resp infections (inactivated by surfactant).
Daptomycin pharmacokinetcs (admin, distrib, elim)
Admin: No oral or IM
Distrib: Bound to protein, no CNS
Elim: Renal
Daptomycin Side effects and drug interactions
SE: Muscle damage, constipation, headache. Inactivated by surfactant.
DI: Discontinue statins which also might produce muscle damage.
Vancomycin mech and spec
Mech: Inhibits cell wall synth by binding to peptidoglycan precursur.
Spec: G+ including staph and C.dif.
Not for anaerobes
Vancomycin pharmacokinetcs (admin, distrib, elim)
Admin: No oral
Distrib: Gets to CNS when meninges are inflamed. Bound to protein
Elim: Renal, adjust dose for kidney probs.
Vancomycin resistance
Caused by change from D-alanine/D-alanine, to D-alanine/D-lactate or D-serine.
Vancomycin Side Effects and Drug interactions
SE: Redneck syndrome - flushing of face and neck. Nephrotox, hypersensitivity.
