What are the two main classes of Abio? |
1. Cell Wall Agents 2. Ribosomal Agents |
|
Subclasses of Ribosomal Agents? |
1. Macrolides 2. Lincosamides 3. Tetracylines 4. Amphenicols 5. Aminoglycosides (there are more) |
|
MOA of Ribosomal Agents? |
Agent binds to rRNA (30s, 50s or 70s) --> bc rRNA is involved in protein synthesis --> Incomplete protein, Incorrect protein or Nonsense protein. --> cell has reduced ability to carry out normal functions --> apoptosis They disrupt bacterial protein synthesis. |
|
30s ribosomal agents |
1. Aminoglycocides 2. Tetracyclines 3. Nitrofuranes |
|
Aminoglycosides |
1. Irreversible 30s agent 2. Narrow spectrum = G(-) 3. Bactericidal 4. Poorly absorbed in GI tract (∴ admin IV) 5. Strongly basic, hydrophilic 6. Poor penetration of CSF 7. Ex. Gentamycin |
|
Bacterial resistance of Aminoglycocides via? |
Metabolism. Acetylation, Phosphorylation and Adenylation. |
|
What Aminoglycocide drug lowers bacterial resistance? |
Amikacin (α-hydroxy-γ-aminobutyl grp blocks metabolism) |
|
Aminoglycocide ADR |
Ototoxicity (irreversible) Nephrotoxcity |
|
Tetracycline |
1. 30s agent. Prevents tRNA binding. 2. Broad spectrum 3. Bacteriostatic 4. Potent chelator of metals 5. Ex. Tetracycline, Doxycline |
|
What should you warn the pt about when taking Tetracyclines? |
Because they chelate metals, separate iron supplements and milk/dairy 2-4 hours from dose. Otherwise, decrease Abs. |
|
Nitrofurans |
1. 30s agent 2. Spectrum? 3. Ex. Nitrofurantoin |
|
Macrolides |
1. 50s agent 2. Narrow spectrum = G(+) 3. Also mycoplasma, legionella, chlamydia. 4. Bacteriostatic 5. Ex. Erythromycin, Azithromycin 6. Used for CAP, otitis media and bronchitis |
|
Why does Telithromycin have an advantage over other macrolides? |
Removal of Cladinose Increase domain II binding Decrease domain V binding |
|
Lincosamides |
1. 50s agent (cross over with macrolides) 2. Narrow spectrum = G(+) 3. Bacteriostatic 4. Ex. Clindamycin |
|
Biggest side effect of Lincosamides? |
Severe diarrhea associated with pseudomembranous colitis. Over growth of intestinal C. difficile. |
|
Amphenicols |
1. 50s agent 2. Broad spectrum 3. Bacteriostatic 4.Ex. Chloramphenicol |
|
Streptogramins |
1. 50s agent 2. Narrow Spectrum = G(+) 3. Inhibits CYP3A4 ∴ drug-drug possible (unique) 4. Ex. Quinupristin, Dalfopristin 5. Bacteriostatic alone, Bactericidal together. (Synercide®) |
|
Oxazolidinone Linezolid |
1. 70s agent 2. Last line of treatment for MRSA 3. Narrow Spectrum = G(+) 4. Bactericidal |
|
Glycopolypeptides |
1. Prevent cell wall synthesis by binding to the D-ala/ala tail of the peptidoglycan layer 2. Narrow Spectrum = G(+) 3. Active against resistant S. aureus. 4. Bactericidal 5. Ex. Vancomycin (IV), Teicoplanin (IM) |
|
Cyclic Peptides Bacitracin A |
1. Induces cell death by disrupting cell wall permeability --> apoptosis 2. Narrow Spectrum = G(+) 3. Bactericidal |
|
Cyclic Peptides Daptomycin |
1. Induces cell death by causing depolarization of cell membrane 2. Narrow spectrum = G(+) 3. Bactericidal |
|
Sulfonamide |
1. Competitive inhibitor of PABA in bacterial THF synthesis (tetrahydrofoliate) 2. Broad Spectrum 3. Bacteriostatic 4. Ex. Sulfmethoxazole (Bactrim) 5. The first two steps of this rxn are bacteria specific. |
|
Trimethoprim |
1. Competitive inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase in the production of THF 2. Broad Spectrum 3. Bacteriostatic 4. Opposed to sulfonamides, this acts at a human target ∴ potential for toxicity |
|
4-Quinolones (Fluoroquinolones) MOA, examples. |
1. Inhibitor of DNA gyrase ∴ can't make mRNA. 2.Broad Spectrum 3. Bactericidal 4. Ex. Ciprofloxacin (2nd), Levofloxacin (3rd) and Moxifloxacin (4th) |
|
4-Quinolones (Fluoroquinolones) Side effects |
N/V, diarrhea Drug interaction though inhibition of CYP1A2 Prolongation of QTc interval Phototoxcity Achilles Tendon rupture |

|
4-Quinolones (Fluoroquinolones) Generational trends |
