Synthetic Antibacterial Drugs

1. Sulfonamides (sulfa) & Trimethroprim


-inhibit a nucleotide synthesis pathway


-competitive protein inhibition



2. Isoniazid (INH)


-inhibits mycolic acid in acid fast cell wall


-used primarily as 1st line defense Mycobacterium tuberculosis



3. Quinolones (Ciprofloxacin)


-inhibits DNA gyrase used in DNA replication


-newer drug, not much resistance yet


-effective against G+ & G-


STIQ

AA (Antibacterial Antibiotics) Cell Wall Inhibitors

1. Penicillin


-G+ staphylococcus and strepthococcus, some G+ spirochetes


-B-lactase: enzyme that breaks B-lactam ring in penicillin



2. Semisynthetic Penicillin


-broader spectrum than penicillin


-still has B-lactam ring


-combine with Clavulanate to inhibit



3. Cephalosporin


-similar to penicillins but broader spectrum


-1st gen were G+, later generations treated G+ and G- equally


-more resistant to B-lactamase



4. Vancomycin


-drug of last resort; highly toxic: kidney and liver monitered


-used primarily against highly resistant Staphylococcus infections (MRSA) and TB


PSCV

Antibacterial Antibiotic Protein synthesis inhibitors

1. Streptomycin


-older antibiotic, fairly toxic


-last resort against G- and TB


-neomycin: topical variant



2. Tetracycline


-VERY broad, highly toxic


-G+, G-, & intracellular pathogens


-Doxycycline commonly prescribed for acne, STDs, and prophylactic for malaria



3. Chloramphenicol


-broad spectrum (G+ & G-), highly toxic: aplastic anemia


- topical use only



4. Erythromycin


-narrow spectrum, mostly G+


-macrocyclic ring

STCE

AA Nucleic acid synthesis inhibition

1. Rifampin


-G+ & G-, fairly broad spectrum


-not super common


-side effect: red/orange body fluid secretion

Antifungals

1. Amphotericin B


-cell (plasma) membrane inhibition


*polyene ring disrupts ergosterol


-fairly toxic, mostly used for systemic fungal infections



2. Imidazoles


-cell membrane inhibition


-topical use for cutaneous fungal infections



3. Griseofulvin


-inhibits mitosis by targeting microtubule formation


-targets keratinized tissues only


-used for under the nail fungal infections


AIG

Antivirals

1. Acyclovir


-inhibit viral DNA replication


-used against herpes family of viruses



2. Reverse transcription inhibitors


-nucleotide analog


-toxic in high doses


*anti hiv drug; 2 & 3 used together (HAART) to reduce HIV replication



3. Protease inhibitors


-inhibits last step of HIV maturation


*anti hiv drug; 2 & 3 used together (HAART) to reduce HIV replication

Antiprotozoan drugs

1. Quinine Derivatives


-antimalarials -chloroquine


-mefloquine -MOA: toxin build up



2. Metronidazole (flagyl)


-interferes with anaerobic metabolism


-used against Trichomonas (intestinal protozoan); also wprks against Clostridium infections


Anti-helminth drugs

1. Mebendazol (vermox)


-inhibits microtubules; motility


-used for intestinal worms like Ascaris and pinworms



2. Niclosamide


-inhibits aerobic respiration


-used for tapeworms



3. Pyantel pamoate (antiminth)


-causes paralysis of worms


-used for hookworms, pinworm, Ascaris

Antibiotics MOA

1. Cell Wall Inhibitors: Penicillin, Amoxicillin/Clavulanate, Vancomycin



2. Protein Synthesis Inhibitors: Doxycycline, Erythromycin, Chloramphenicol



3. Nucleic Acid Synthesis Inhibitors: Ciproflaxin



4. Antimetabolite: Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim
