50s inhibitors

Study These Flashcards
A

linezolid, macrolides, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, quinupristin/dalfopristin

24
Q

Initiation blockers

Study These Flashcards
A

linezolid and aminoglycosides

25
Elongation blockers
aminoglycosides, tetracycline, macrolide, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, q/d
26
Protein synthesis inhibitors = static or cidal
static except aminoglycosides or certain combinations
27
Which inhibit mitochondrial ribosomes and cause bone marrow suppression
TLC Tetracycline, Linezolid, and chloramphenicol | *genetic variation here
28
Linezolid
MOA =Binds 50s and prevents formation of initiation complex Spectrum = Gram + including MRSA and VRE Resistance = altered 23s binding site --> no cross resistance :) SA = Bone marrow suppression (tLc), inhibits MAO --> seratonin syndrom with SSRIs (hallucinations, increase heart rate, agitation, and nausea)
29
Aminoglycosides - gentamycin, neomycin, amikacin, tobramycin, and streptomycin (GNATS)
MOA - Bacteriocidal -prevents initiation, causes mRNA misreading, and early termination. Spectrum = gram negative aerobes (Usually used in combo) Resistance = failure to enter cell wall --> cotreat with cell wall inhibitor (genrally ampiciliin/amoxicillin), enzymes that inactivate the drug Amikacin --> pseudomonas Concentration dependent killing! Adverse side effects = tubular necrosis, ototoxicity, hearing loss in pregnancy (class D) Notes = IV administration and excluded from CSF
30
Concentration dependent killers
aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones
31
time dependent killers
beta lactams and vanco
32
Tetracylcines - tetracycline, doxycycline, democlocycline and minocycline
``` MOA = binds 30s preventing attachment of aminoacyl tRNA Spectrum = B. burgdorferi, H. pylori, and Mycoplasm pneumoniae due to resistnance Resistnace = decreased uptake (intinsic), increased efflux*, altered ribosomal target Adverse effects: Kelates cations, photosensitivity, discoloration of teeth, pregnancy class D ```
33
Chloramphenicol
MOA = binds 50s preventing peptidyltransferase Spectrum = extened, but little use due to side effects Resistance = acetyltransferase alters drug = no binding Adverse effects = TOXIC, Bone marrow suppression (tlC), Aplastic anemia, Gray baby syndrome (Class D)
34
Grey baby syndrome
Caused by chloramphenicol = premature infants lack UDP-glucuronyl transferase and decreased renal function leads to high drug levels --> cardio/pulmonary collapse
35
Macrolides - Erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin
``` MOA = inhibits tranlsocation of 50s Spectrum = broad coverage or respiratory pathogens, Chlymidia (single dose) Upper respiratory infections Resistance = methylation of 23s (shared with clindamycin and q/d) Adverse effects = hepatic failure, prolonged QT, inhibits cyp450, Clarithromycin = pregnancy class D ```
36
Clindamycin
MOA = Blocks translocation of 50s Spectrum = gram + including anaerobes --> acne Resistance = mutation of ribosome / methylation of 23s (cross resistance with macrolides and q/d) Adverse effects = Hypersensitivity, C. Diff!
37
Streptogramins - Quinupristin/ Dalforpristin
MOA = Binds 50s to inhibit tranlocation, cobined action is bactericidal Spectrum = reserved for MRSA and VRE Resistance = Enzymes that incactivate, Efflux pumps, and methylation of 23s (cross resistance with macrolides and clindamycin) Adverse effects = arthralgias and myalgias, inhibits cyp450
38
Mech of resistance = decreased uptake
Tetracyclines, Sulfonamides, Aminoglycosides, and Chlormaphenicol (The Stupid Ass Coach)
39

40
Mech of resistance = altered target
Like everything (need acronym or exclusion list)
41
Mech of reistance = Upregulation of substrate
Sulfonamides (increased PABA synthesis)
42
Mech of resistance = enzymatic inactivation
MC STAB MC (MCs are incactivating each other to win the rap battle duh! ) = Macrolides Clindamycin - Streptogrammins Tetracylines Aminoglycocidess B-lactamases - Metronidazole Chloramphenicol
43
Rare resistance
Bacitracin, polymyxins, nitrofurantoin, metronidazole
44
Rifampin
MOA = bactricidal, binds RNA pol and blocks elongation Spectrum = TB, extended (RIPES due to high resistance) Resistance = intrinsic due to binding, and aquired due to rpoB mutations preventing binding (Inhibited Binding) Adverse effects = orange red fluids, Induction of CYP3A4 (faster warfarin metabolism)
45
Fidaxomicin
MOA = bacteriocidal Inhibits RNA pol Spectrum = Narrow Gram + anaerobes - C. diff! Side effects = Few due to low absorbtion Resistance = point mutation in RNA pol in vitro (no en vivo yet!)
46
Fluoroquinolones - Ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin

47
Sulfonamides - Sulfamethoxazole
MOA = PABA analog Resistance = change in dihydropterate synthetase, efflux, increased PABA production Adverse effects = hypersensitivity --> Stevens-Johnson, crystalluria --> acute renal failure, Hemolysis in G-6=P DH deficiency, kernicterus (neurologic condition in severly jaundiced newborns *Can compete for albumin --> adverse effects with warfarin and other drugs
48
Trimethoprim
MOA = Inhibits DHFR Resistance = altered or increased DHFR, alternative metabolic pathways, Adverse effects GI upset
49
Bactrim = TMP and SMX
``` MOA = Sequential folate synthesis blockage Spectrum = broad treatment of UTIs, pneumocystis ```
50
Metronidzaole (Flagil)
``` MOA = electron sink --> free radicals --> DNA breaks Spectrum = anaerobes --> C diff, Protozoa Resistance = rare Adverse effects = pregnancy class D, Disulfiram like reaction with EtOH ```
51
Nitrofurantoin
MOA = inhibits synthesis of DNA, RNA, cell wall, and protein via ribosome destruction Spectrum = Broad spectrum and rapidly excreted **UTIs Resistance = Lack of resistance due to variety of processes Adverse effects = vomiting and rash
52
Don't use with Newborns
Chloramphenicol and Sulfonamides
53
Don't Use in children
Techincal Foul if you use Tetracyclines or Fluoroquinolones
54
Don't Use During Preganancy
Fuck Cunt Shit it's the MCAT (Because the three worst swear words should be associated with that God-forsaken exam and its likely what you say if you accidently get pregnant) Fluoroquinolones, Chloramphenicol, Sulfonamides, Metronidazol Clarithromycin Aminoglycosides, Tetracyclines
55
Don't use in elderly / adjust for renal function
FAB because old people say fab = fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides and B lactams
56
Cause Hemolysis
Sulfonamides = aplastic anemia in g-6-p dh defeciency | Chloramphenicol too but not g6p related
57
What is coadministered with Penicillin
Probenicid (due to low half life of the drug)
