Anti Protein Synthesis Flashcards
bacterial ribosomes
30s
50s
bacterial start codon
formyl methionine
sequence upstream of start codon - helps bind mRNA to 16s ribosome
shine dalgarno
A site - acceptor - tRNA 1st attaches
P site - peptide - growing polypeptide chain
E site - exit - emptying tRNA
elongation of protein synthesis
peptide transformed from P site to A site by
peptide transferase
tRNA holding the polypeptide is translocated from A site to P site, opening A site
translocation
1) bind irreversibly to the 30s, inhibit initiation complex
2) misread mRNA
3) breakup polysomes into nonfunctional monosomes
aminoglycosides
1) bactericidal
2) work on aerobic gram negatives
3) coupled with cell wall active drugs (B lactams, vancomycin)
aminoglycosides
Ways of entry
1) passive diffusion
2) ATP and O2 dependent active transport
aminoglycosides
triple antibiotic ointment
neomycin
bacitracin
polymixin B
treats hepatic encephalopathy but lactulose is better and hepatic coma to decrease bacteria growth
neomycin
treats tularemia, TB, bubonic plague
streptomycin
Pharmacokinetics
1) poorly absorbed orally - always given parenterally - distributed mainly to ECF (14-20)
2) high [ ] in otic perilymph and renal cortical tissue
aminoglycosides
loop diuretics should not be used with aminoglycosides to prevent ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity
Mech. of Resistance
1) microorganism produces transferase enzyme or enzymes that inactivate aminoglycosides
acetylation
phosphorylation
adenylylation
what two aminoglycosides are resistant to inactivation by bacterial enzymes
netilmicin
amikacin
SE: ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, acute tubular necrosis, NMJ blockade
aminoglycosides
Contraindications: in pregnancy (especially streptomycin) can cause deafness in newborn; avoid in sever renal dysfunction
aminoglycosides
displaces Ca2+ from nmj - leading to decrease Ach release
NMJ blockade
tubular damage, low GFR, results in loss of urinary [ ] capacity of tubules (ATN)
nephrotoxicity
causes acute proximal tubular necrosis (acute renal failure)
gentamicin
most nephrotoxic
gentamicin
neomycin
tobramycin
hearing loss, high frequency affected 1st then low frequency
cochlear ototoxicity
headache appears 1st followed by nausea, vomiting, dizziness, nystagmus, vertigo and ataxia
vestibular ototoxicity
most cochlear ototoxic agents
neomycin
kanamycin
amikacin
most vestibulotoxic agents
streptomycin
gentamicin
bind reversibly to 30s
blocks aminoacyl - tRNA enters A site
bacteriostatic
activity on gram + and - including anaerobes
tetracyclines
treats rickettsia, borrelia, vibrio, chlamydia, mycoplasma, and acne
tetracycline
Mech of resistance
1) development of efflux pump (Tet pump)
2) ribosomal protection proteins that displaces tetracycline
3) enzymatic inactivation of tetracycline
tetracycline
1st choice for rickettsia even in children
tetracycline
treatment for urethritis
tetracycline
doxycycline, azithromycin and ceftriaxone for both sex partners
treatment for H pylori
bismuth, metronidazole, tetracycline and H2 blocker for 4 weeks
