Inhibition of the 50S subunit Flashcards
1
Q
macrolides
A
- erythromycin
- clarithromycin
- azithromycin
2
Q
lincosamides
A
- clindamycin
3
Q
streptogramins
A
- quinupristin
- dalfopristin
4
Q
oxalidones
A
- Linezolid
- tedizolid
5
Q
- protein synthesis inhibitors that “buy” aka bind, to the 30S subunit
A
- aminoglycosides
- tetracyclines
6
Q
- protein synthesis inhibitor that “sells” at th50S ribosomes
A
- Streptogarmins
- Erythromycin
- lincosamides
- Linezolide
7
Q
- broad spectrum protein synthesis inhibitors spectrum coverage
A
- Macrolides (50s)
- Chloramphenicol (50s)
- Tetracyclines (30s)
8
Q
- narrow spectrum protein synthesis inhibitors coverage
A
- aminoglycosides (30s) (-)
- lincosamide/clindamycin (50s) (+)
- streptogarmins (50s) (+)
- oxazolidones/linezolid (50s) (+)
9
Q
- biochem and catalysis subunit of protein
A
50S
10
Q
- recognition and binding subunit protein
A
30S
11
Q
- core structure coantains a 14-membered or 15-membered lactone ring (cyclic ester) as well as 2 sugar units
A
macrolides
12
Q
- how does clarithromycin differ from erythromycin?
A
- methylation of one OH group
13
Q
- how does Azihtromycin differ from other macrolides?
A
- removal of upper ketone group and addition of a methyl substituted nitrogen into the lactone ring
14
Q
- Macrolide unstable in acidic pH due to acid-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization involving the C6 OH and the C9 ketone leading to anhydroerythromycin (GI irritant)
A
erythromycin
15
Q
- why do clarithromycin and azithromycin have better acid stability?
A
- structural modification of C60H group and ketone group
these modifications improve penetration into host cells, increase passage via porins and generally broaden the spectrum of aactivity
16
Q
- act by blocking tunnel pore by which growing peptides exit ribosome by binding to proximal part of the exit tunnel
- backlog develops near P site and then extends to A site
- bottom line, they inhibit A and P sight functions
- Do NOT directly block peptidyl transferase activity, peptide bond can still be formed!!!
A
- Macrolides
17
Q
- macrolide with higher activity against intracellular pathogens such as Chlamydia, Legionella, Moraxella, species and Helicobacter pylori compared to erythromycin
A
Clarithromycin
18
Q
- macrolide, with the best activity against respiratory infections such as H. Influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis, S. pnuemoniae
A
Azithromycin
