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
