Pharma Midterm 3 Flashcards
(179 cards)
unique targets example of action
- inhibition of cell wall synthesis (B-lactam)
- Fungal cell membrane component:
- folic acid synthesis (sulfonamides)
similar targets action
dihydrofolate reductase
protein synthesis inhibitors
protein synthesis inhibitor acting on 30S subunit
- tetracyclines
- Aminoglycosides
protein synthesis inhibitor acting on 50S subunit
- Macrolides
- Phenicols
Example of drug having dose dependent toxicity, high dose effect
Phenicols, can cause bone marrow suppression
Common target drugs example
Primary antineolastic agents
antiparasitic drugs (cholinergic substances)
Example of Category A drug TOTALLY banned, target animals
Vancomycin; for small animals
Category B drugs
- fluroquinolones
- 3-4th generation cephalosporin
- colistin
Category C drugs, target animals
Macrolides, phenicols
smalls & Food producing
Category D drugs
tretracyclines
penicillines
Meaning of MIC (describing efficacy)
Concentration of antibacterial where Bacteria cannot GROW
Meaning of MPC (describing efficacy)
Concentration of antibacterial where we won’t select any mutant/resistant bacteria
Meaning of MBC (describing efficacy)
Concentration of antibacterial where Bacteria can be killed
Example of bactericidal
Aminoglycosides
Polypeptides
Fluoroquinolones
Metronidazole
Example of bacteriostatic
Tetracycline
Macrolides
Phenicols
(Post Traumatic Mouvement)
Define Postantibiotic effect
delayed antibacterial effect after concentration of the drug declined below the MIC (usually against Gram +)
define Synergistic, give example
Potentiate each other
penicillin + streptomycin
define additive, give example
broaden spectrum
gentamicin + metronidazol
define antagonist, give example
fights for the same subunit
erythromycin + florfenicol
Examples of transferring resistance between bacteria
- conjugation
- transduction (via bacteriophages)
- transformation (from dead bacteria)
List the 5 resistance mechanisms
- antibiotic degrading enzymes (penicillinase)
- antibiotic transforming enzymes
- increasing integrity of cell wall
- increased efflux pump expression
- modifying binding sites (MRSA)
List the antibacterial agents that are inhibitor of protein synthesis
- aminoglycosides
- tetracyclines
- macrolides
- lincosamides
- pleuromutilins
- phenicols
which type of tetracyclines have the best properties? Examples
Semisynthetically, doxycycline/minocycline
Short acting tetracyclines, (daily dose)
tetracyclines
oxytetracycline
chlortetracycline
(applied BID)
