Antibacterial Antibiotics Flashcards
Interfere with last step of cell wall synthesis (transpeptidation or cross
linking)
Penicillins (Penicillum notatum)
Beta lactam attached to:
thiazolidine ring, Nucleus: 6 aminopenicillanic acid
Beta lactamase Inhibitors
(Clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam)
No antibacterial activity. They inactivate beta lactamases
Beta lactamase Inhibitors (Clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam)
The beta lactam ring is not fused to another ring, no cross sensitivity with penicillin
Monobactam
magic bullet for Pseudomonas
Aztreonam
Thienamycin, Meropenem, Imipenem (cleaved by dihydropeptidase; cilastatin)
Carbapenems
Drugs under Natural Penicillins
Penicillin G (Benzylpenicillin) PO, IV, IM(Procaine and Benzathine) Use: RHD and Syphilis Penicillin V (Phenoxymethylpenicillin) PO
Drugs under Penicillinase Resistant/Antistaphylococcal Penicillins/Narrow Spectrum
Methicillin (2,6 dimethoxyphenylpenicillin) Prototype; off the market (interstitial nephritis) Nafcillin (2 ethocy 1 phenylpenicillin) Isoxazolyl Penicillins (Oxacillin, Cloxacillin,Dicloxacillin best absorbed orally)
