Anti fungal/viral Flashcards
Amphotericin B
1) Serious systemic mycoses, Cryptococcus (w or w/o Flucytosine for cryptococcal meningitis), Blastomyces, Coccidioides, Histoplasma, Candida, Mucor. Intrathecally for fungal meningitis.
2) Antifungal; Binds ERGOSTEROL (unique to fungi), forms membrane pores that allow leakage of electrolytes (AmphoTERicin “TEARs” holes in fungal membrane)
3) Fever/chills (“shake & bake”), Hypotension, NEPHROTOXICITY (–> Hypo-/kalemia/magnesiema), Arrhythmias, Anemia, IV phlebitis (“AMPHOTERRIble); Hydration reduces nephrotoxicity (see line #4); Liposomal Amphotericin reduced toxicity
4) Supplement K & Mg b/c of altered renal tubule permeability
Nystatin
1) “Swish & swallow” for oral candidiasis (thrush); Topical for diaper rash or vaginal candidiasis
2) Antifungal; Same MOA as Amphotericin B [Binds ergosterol (unique to fungi), forms membrane pores that allow leakage of electrolytes (AmphoTERicin “TEARs” holes in fungal membrane)].
Topical form b/c too toxic for systemic use
Fluconazole
1) Local & Less serious systemic mycoses; Floconazole specific=Chronic suppression of cryptoccal meningitis in AIDs pts & candida infection of all types
2) Antifungal-Azole; Inhib fungal sterol (ergosterol) synth by inhib P-450 enzyme that converts lanostrerol –> ergosterol
3) Testosterone synth inhib (GYNECOMASTIA, esp w Ketoconazole) Liver dysfnx (inhib cytochrome P-450)
Ketoconazole
1) Local & Less serious systemic mycoses
2) Antifungal-Azole; Inhib fungal sterol (ergosterol) synth by inhib P-450 enzyme that converts lanostrerol –> ergosterol
3) Testosterone synth inhib (GYNECOMASTIA, esp w Ketoconazole) Liver dysfnx (inhib cytochrome P-450**)
Clotrimazole
1) Topical fungal infxns**
2) Antifungal-Azole; Inhib fungal sterol (ergosterol) synth by inhib P-450 enzyme that converts lanostrerol –> ergosterol
3) Testosterone synth inhib (GYNECOMASTIA, esp w Ketoconazole) Liver dysfnx (inhib cytochrome P-450)
Miconazole
1) Topical fungal infxns
2) Antifungal-Azole; Inhib fungal sterol (ergosterol) synth by inhib P-450 enzyme that converts lanostrerol –> ergosterol
3) Testosterone synth inhib (GYNECOMASTIA, esp w Ketoconazole) Liver dysfnx (inhib cytochrome P-450)
Itraconazole
1) Local & Less serious systemic mycoses; Itraconazole specific=Tx for Bastomyces, Coccidiodes, & Histoplasma
2) Antifungal-Azole; Inhib fungal sterol (ergosterol) synth by inhib P-450 enzyme that converts lanostrerol to ergosterol
3) Testosterone synth inhib (gynecomastia) Liver dysfnx (inhib cytochrome P-450)
Voriconazole
1) Local & Less serious systemic mycoses
2) Antifungal-Azole; Inhib fungal sterol (ergosterol) synth by inhib P-450 enzyme that converts lanostrerol to ergosterol
3) Testosterone synth inhib (gynecomastia) Liver dysfnx (inhib cytochrome P-450)
Flucytosine
1) Tx of systemic fungal infections (esp. meningitis caused by Cryptococcus) in combo w/ Amphotericin B
2) Antifungal; Inhib DNA & RNA biosynth by conversion to 5-fluorouracil by cytosine deaminase
3) BM suppression
Caspofungin
1) Invasive aspergilliosis, Candida
2) Antifungal; Inhib cell wall synth by inhibiting synth of Beta-glucan
3) GI upset, flushing (by histasmine release)
Micafungin
1) Invasive aspergilliosis, Candida
2) Antifungal; Inhib cell wall synth by inhibiting synth of Beta-glucan
3) GI upset, flushing (by histasmine release)
Terbinafine
1) Tx dermatophytoses (esp onchomycosis=fungal infection of finger or toe nails)
2) Antifungal; Inhib fungal enzyme SQUALENE EPOXIDASE which is needed to make ergosterol
3) Abn LFTs, Visual disturbances
Griseofulvin
1) PO tx of superficial infections; Inhib growth of dermatophytes (tinea, ringworm)
2) Antifungal; Interferes w/ microtubule fxn; Disrupts mitosis. Deposits in keratin-containing tissues (e.g. nails)
3) Teratogenic (CI in pregnancy), Carinogenic, Confusion, HAs, Increase P-450**** & warfarin metabolism
Pyrimethamine
1) Tx Toxoplasmosis
2) Antiprotozoan; Inhibits parasitic Dihydrofolate Reductase (like Trimethoprim and Methotrexate)
Suramin and Melarsoprol
1) Tx Trypanosoma brucei (african sleeping ds)
2) Antiprotozoan
Nifurtimox
1) Tx Trypansoma cruzi (chagas)
2) Antiprotozoan
Sodium stibogluconate
1) Tx Leishmaniasis
2) Antiprotozoan
