antimycobacterials, antifungals, and antivirals Flashcards
what are 4 antimycobacterials?
pyrazinamide (PAZ)
isoniazid (INH)
ethambutol (EMB)
rifampin (RIF)
is PAZ bacteriostatic or bactericidal?
bacteriostatic
pyrazinamide (PAZ) MOA
uncertain, requires activation via hydrolytic enzymes to form pyrazoic acid
PAZ use
active TB (m. tuberculosis only)
is INH bacteriostatic or bactericidal?
bactericidial
MOA of INH
inhibits mycolic acid synthesis
ADR/ DIs of INH
peripheral neuropathy
weak MAOI
must take pyridoxine (B6)
use of INH
active and latent TB
is EMB bacteriostatic or bactericidal?
bacteriostatic
MOA of EMB
inhibits formation of arabinogalactan (component of cell wall)
ADR of EMB
visual disturbances–> can’t tell red from green
use of EMB
active TB and MAC infections
is RIF bacteriostatic or bactericidal?
bactericidal
MOA of RIF
inhibits DNA dependent RNA polymerase
ADR/ DI of RIF
extremely potent CYP450 INDUCER
orange-red secretions
use of RIF
rifampin- TB
rifabutin- MAC
MRSA
list 3 types of antifungals
polyenes
azoles
echinocandins
polyene examples
amphotericin B and nystatin
MOA of polyenes
binds ergosterol in fungal cell membranes–> leaky pores
ADR of polyenes
nephrotoxicity
infusion rxns
electrolyte abnormalities (hypokalemia)
azole MOA
inhibits fungal P450 dependent enzymes blocking ergosterol synthesis
ADR/ DI of azoles
QT prolongation
inhibits CYP450!!!!!
what does fluconazole NOT treat

how to take itraconazole
caps- with means
solution- empty stomach
