Sulfonamide MOA & resistance
-block dihydropterate synthetase.

-mimic PABA

--| purine & pyrimidine synthesis

--| cell division

BACTERIOSTATIC (not cidal)

Resistance by synthesizing 70x more PABA (precursor to dihydrofolate), to become competitive enough to bind dihydropterate synthetase (1000x affinity for sulfonamide)

Resistance 2: change dihydropterate synthetase structure

Resistance 3: bypass 1-carbon transfer step by "salvage" pathway
List of sulfonamides
sulfamethoxazole
sulfisoxazole
sulfadiazine
sulfasalazine
sulfacetamide
sulfadoxine
(Trimethoprim) - works synergistically
Trimethoprim MOA
Inhibits bacterial Dihydrofolate reductase.

Synergism with sulfonamides:
cotrimoxazole (1 trimeth:5sulfamethoxazole)
cotrimazine (1 trimeth:5sulfadiazine)
Sulfonamide bacterial toxicity, absorption & distribution
Toxicity: selectively toxic to bacteria b/c folate synthesis = obligatory

Absorption: oral or topical (soluble solts given parenterally)

Readily absorbed w/ peak [drug]blood in 30 min

Plasma protein bound (displaces other drugs & biliruben --> neonatal jaundice when given late term)

Distribution: total body water, readily enters CNS, synovial & ocular fluid, fetal circulation, milk
Sulfonamide metabolism, elimination, & toxicity
Metabolism: 1. Acetylation at free-amino group (rendered inactive) 2. Some oxygenation of aeromatic ring or side chain.

Elimination: majority eliminated unchanged. Concentrated in urine (useful for UTI). Older types form crystals in tubules and ureter.

Toxicity: low CTI (theraputic index), toxicity in 5% of patients:
1) renal tox (crystalized in urine, 8-10g/day, give water)
2) blood dyscrasias (hemolytic anemia, agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia. immune response to sulfonamide hapten?)
3) Dermal toxicity (rashes, pruritus, erythema, exfoliative dermatitis, stevens-johnson syndrome ~fatal)
4) rare - hepatitis, fever
5) less serious - headache, gi discomfort
Trimethoprim/sulfonamide drugs
cotrimoxazole-aka bactrim/septra (1 trimeth:5sulfamethoxazole)
cotrimazine (1 trimeth:5sulfadiazine)
Trimethoprim synergism
with sulfanomides

--| dihydrofolate reductase
--| NT synthesis later in pathway than sulfonamides

100,000x higher affinity for bacterial enzyme

decrease risk of resistance when used with sulfonamide
Sulfonamide structural site of difference
substituents on N1 nitrogen.

substitution on N4 nitrogen terminates activity (acetylation)
Sulfisoxazole, Sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine
short acting, rapidl abs/exc.

3 most common prescribed

last 2 in combo with Trimethoprim
Sulfadimethoxine
long acting sulfonamide, poor exc, useful in protozoal infections (AIDS patients)

toxic
Sulfadiazine
silver salt of drug --> topical use in burns
Sulfacetamide
topical use in eye, low irritation
Poorly absorbed sulfonamides
(pthalylsulfathiazole)

used to sterilize gut pre-bowel-surgery (but prefered drug is aminoglycosides).

Non absorbed

Gut flora cleaves N4 group.
Dapsone
Sulfone drug (not sulfonamide)

Antileprosy

MOA: similar to sulfonamides
Clinical use: sulfonamides
against most Gram+ and many Gram-

lower UTI (cotrimoxazole) from E. coli & prostatitis

combo w/ trimeth --> bacterial dysentery

sometimes --> meningococcal infection (other Ab's prefered)

Topical --> eyes (conjunctivitis) or prophylactic for burns

Protozoal infections (respond poorly to Ab's):
Chlamydia, nocardia, toxoplasma
Chloroquine resistant plasmodium falciparum
Pneumocystis carinii (or trimeth alone) high toxicity in AIDS.
Quinolone list
Nalidixic acid
norfloxacin (fluoroquinolone)
ciprofloxacin (fluoroquinolone)
Quinolone MOA/selective tox/resistance
--| DNA gyrase (bacterial topoisomerase)

Sel Tox: much less inhibition to mammalian topoisomerase

Resistance: Altered DNA gyrase/drug transport properties. R-plasmids ID'd. not wide spread, not understood.
Quinolone Toxicity/clinical uses
Toxicity: rare. GI distubrances, CNS effects, allergic skin reaction.

Clinical use:
UTI (nalidixic acid limited, newer quin's used).
Gonorrhea (* beta-lactam resistant strains)
Diarrhea (shigella, toxigenic e. coli, salmonella, typhoid)
Respiratory Infections: bacterial (hemophilus, streptococcus, pseudomonas) & nonbacterial (chlamydia, mycoplasma, legionella)
Osteomyelitis - potential not yet tapped.
