antimycobacterials Flashcards
First Line antimycobaterials
Isoniazid, Rifampacin, Pyrinizinamide, Ethambutol
INH- MOA
Inhibits mycolic acid synthesis
INH activation
KatG- only in Mb
INH & liver enzymes
p450 inhibitor, metabolized in liver, various rates of acetylation
INH distribution
All tissues- w/ high intracellular concentrations
INH MOR
katG mutation
INH- AE
Hepatitis, B6 deficiency- peripheral neuropathy, give pyridoxine, Inhibition of Phenytoin metabolism- ataxia
INH method of admin
Oral
INH Tmax
1-2 hr
INH 1/2 life
.75-5h
INH excretion
Kidney
Rifampin- MOA
binds to beta subunit of Mb RNA pol –> inhibits transcription
RIF method of admin
Oral- well absorbed
RIF T1/2
2.5-5hr
RIF- distribution
all tissues
RIF & liver enzymes
CYP450 inducer
RIF excretion
mostly feces, some urine
RIF AE
Reddish/ brown Urine, Hepatitis, Abdominal discomfort, fever, skin eruptions
RIF drug interactions
inc elimination of other drugs esp Birth control and HIV proteases- monitor the level
RIfabutin
doesn’t affect CYP450 so use in AIDs patients so don’t inc elimination of PI
Rifampimicin
Used for leprosy
Pyrizinamide (PZA)- MOA
Pyrizinamidase converts it to pyrizinmatoic acid –> unknown MOA
PZA method of admin
Oral
PZA 1/2 life
9 hr
PZA- distribution
well distributed in tissues but concentrates in cells
PZA activity
active in acidic environments ie lysozomes inside of macropahges
PZA metabolism
Liver
PZA excretion
Kidney
PZA AE
Hyperuricemia- Pyrazinoic acid inhibits renal secretion of Uric acid –> Gout monitor SGOT (liver enzyme) and uric acid, Heptatitis, Arthralgia, fever, skin rashes
