Antimycobacterial Drugs Flashcards
treatment of active TB
4 drugs- isoniazid rifampin pyrazinamide ethambutol
treatment of MDR-TB
5-6 drugs
latent TB treatment
isoniazid or rifampin alone for 9 months
locations of TB drugs
intracellular
extracellular
cavities
speed of intracellular replication
slow
speed of extracellular replication
fast
speed of cavitary replication
slow
mycolic acid
long chain branched fatty acids in the wall
mycelia acid benefits
resist dehdyration, disinfectants, antibiotics, hide from macrophages
isoniazid works at
extra
intra
cavity
isoniazid is cidal or static
either- depends on location
isoniazid MOA
prodrug activated to nicotinoyl radical by Katg which inhibits mycolic acid synthesis by blocking InhA and KasA
KatG
mycobacterium enzyme that activates isoniazid to nicotinoyl radical
nicotinoyl radical
active form of isoniazid
InhA
acyl carrier protein reductase
KasA
acyl carrier protein synthetase
isoniazid resistance mechanisms
spontaneous resistance
KatG mutation
InhA overexpression
resistance to oxidative stress
isoniazid clearance
NAT2 aceylation in liver which is then either excreted by kidney oR converted to hydrazine by cops
acetylated and excreted
what increases isoniazid toxicity
slow acetylators
cyp inducers
isoniazid side effects
hepatotoxicity
neurotoxicity- PNS and CNS
prevention of isoniazid side effects
B6 supplements
isoniazid interactions
inhibits MAO- do not give with tyramine foods, excessive caffeine, MAOI
cyp inhibitors
alcohol
extracellular acting first line tb drugs
isoniazid
rifampin
ethambutol
streptomycin
intracellular acting first line tb drugs
isoniazid
rifampin
pyrazinamide
cavity acting first line tb drugs
isoniazid
rifampin
ethambutol
rifampin acts in
intracellular
extracellular
cavity
rifampin cidal or static
cidal
rifampin MOA
inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase
rifampin resistance
RNA polymerase mutations
rifampin clearance
deacetylation in liver
specific isoniazid CNS effects
memory loss
psychosis
seizures
specific isoniazid PNS effects
paresthesia of hands/feet
rifampin ADR
elevated AFT- rare hepatotoxicity
turns secretions red
thrombocytopenia
hypersensitivity rxn
rifampin interactions
cyp inducer- MANY drug interactions
oral contraceptives
warfarin
protease inhibitors
rifapentine
same as rifampin but longer half life and fewer drug interactions
pyrazinamide acts where
intracellular
