Antibacterial Drugs Flashcards
sulfisoxazole
Intermediary metabolism: sulfonamide
-inhibit dihydropteroate synthase (1st step in folic acid synthetic pathway; PABA used as substrate)
-PABA (acid) required for folic acid synthesis in (most) bacteria
=an alternative substrate: Thymidine and DNA synthesis
-side effect: crystaluria (drug crystal formation in renal tubules), hemolytic anemia (rbc destroyed and removed from blood stream)

trimethoprim
Intermediary metabolism
- bind and inhibit dihydrofolate reductase (2nd step for folic acid formation)
- reduce thymide synthesis (no useful/harmful product)
- additive effect to sulfonamide (used in combination)
- gram+ bacteria more sensitive
penicillin
Cell wall disruptor: penicillin
- have beta-lactam ring nucleus
- inhibit cell wall synthesis/maintenance, bind to specific proteins, bind to specific proteins (PBP=penicillin binding protein), prevents peptidoglycan strand crosslinking, causes osmotic disruption
- degraded by penicillinases or beta-lactamases of bacterial wall
- gram+ bacteria sensitive
- gram- bacteria resistant
- side effect: hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions, anaphylactic shock, GI upset
methacillin
Cell wall disruptor: penicillin
“derivative”
-have beta-lactam ring nucleus (inc GI tract stability, inc penicillinase resistance, inc spectrum of action)
-inhibit cell wall synthesis/maintenance, bind to specific proteins, bind to specific proteins (PBP=penicillin binding protein), prevents peptidoglycan strand crosslinking, causes osmotic disruption
-degraded by penicillinases or beta-lactamases of bacterial wall
oxacillin
