Antibiotics III: Inhibitors of Protein Synthesis Flashcards
aminoglycosides
gentamicin, amikacin, streptomycin, neomycin
target of aminoglycosides
G- organisms and G+ staph; concentration-dependent
active transport across plasma membrane into cytosol is O2-dependent
aminoglycosides
drugs that bind to 30-S
aminoglycosides
tetracyclines
drugs that bind to 50-S
erythromycin chloramphenicol clindamycin dalfopristin/quinupristin linezolid
long post-antibiotic effect (hours)
aminoglycosides
used for resistant bacteremia, sepsis and G+ endocarditis
aminoglycosides (in combo w/ beta-lactams or vancomycin)
second-line drug for active TB
streptomycin
used in hospitals where resistance to gentamicin and tobramycin is common
amikacin
adverse reactions to aminoglycosides
ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity
prototype tetracycline
doxycycline
prototype glycylcycline
tigecycline
tetracycline resistance
increased drug efflux and production of proteins that interfere w/ drug binding to 30S subunit (tigecycline resistant to efflux)
distributed widely in bone and teeth
tetracyclines
form insoluble chelates with multivalent cations resulting in decreased oral absorption
tetracyclines
treatment and prophylaxis of malaria
tetracyclines
