Q

Tetracyclines MOA

A

Entry:
gram +: through the inner cytoplasmic membrane via an active transport system that depends on pH differential

gram-: become charged and enter through porin channels (OmpF and OmpC)

inhibits bacterial protein synthesis

binds reversibly to 30s ribosomal unit; inhibits the enzyme binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosomal acceptor site which prevents peptide elongation and protein synthesis

genitourunary
spirochetal 
malaria treatment and chemiprophylaxis
other: acne, bioterrorism
42
Q

Tetracyclines adverse effects

A

GI: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, epigastric pain

pill esophagitis with doxycycline (patients should drink 8 oz of water and stand upright for 30 min)

reduced risk of c. diff

photosensitivity and hyperpigmentation: blue/black discolorations where scars or inflammation, muddy/brown discoloration on sun-exposed area; USE SUNSCREEN AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN EXPOSED TO SUN

blue/black discoloration of gums secondary to bone pigmentation that is visible through non-pigmented oral mucosa occurs with long term use of minocycline and is permanent

nephotoxicity if impaired renal function

neurotoxicity with minocycline causing vertigo, dizziness, tinnitus, lack of concentration (reversible), vestibular effects higher in women

psuedotumor cerebri

43
Q

Tetracyclines are generally ___ in pregnancy

A

avoided

44
Q

Tetracyclines can cross the placenta, found in fetal tissues, and can have ____ effects on the developing fetus

A

toxic

45
Q

___ has been noted in animals treated early in pregnancy

A

embryotoxicity

46
Q

Tetracycline should be taken with/without food

A

without; can reduce absorption by 50%

47
Q

Doxycycline and minocycline should/should no be taken with food

A

food doesn’t not have effect that is clinically significant

48
Q

divalent and trivalent cations: Al, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn interaction with tetracyclines

A

significant reduction of all tetracycline absorption

should not be administered concurrently

give tetracycline 1-2 hours before or 2 hours after divalent/trivalent cations

49
Q

Interaction of doxycycline with carbamazepine, phenytoin, barbiturates

A

decreased 1/2 life by 44-52%; increases hepatic metabolism, monitor for decreased therapeutic effect. avoid using at the same Time.
