Ch. 39 Protein synthesis inhibitors Flashcards
may cause toxic effects as a result of interaction with mitochondrial mammalian ribosomes
chloramphenico or the tetracyclines
ribosomes composed of 30S and 50S subunits
bacterial ribosomes
ribosomes composed of 40S and 60S subunits
mammalian ribosomes
consists of 4 fused rings with a system of conugated double bonds
tertracyclines
enter susceptible organisms via passive diffusion and also by an energy-dependent transport protein mechanism unique to the bacterial inner cytoplasmic membrane
tetracyclines
binds reversibly to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome , preventing binding of tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex, thereby inhibiting bacterial proetin synsthesis
tetracyclines
bacteriostatic antibiotics
against : gram(+) and (-)
protozoa, spirochetes , mycobacteria , atypical
tetracyclines
tetrayclines treatment
acne and chlamydia infections (doxycycline)
naturally occuring resistance to tetracyclines
efflux pump that expels drug out of the cell
-prevents intracellular accumulation
Spirochete: Lyme disease : cause , s/s (signs and symptoms), treatment
Borrelia burdorferi, bite of infected ticks,
skin lesions, headache and fever, followed by meningoencephalitis and evetually arthritis
bull’s eye pattern rash with a red outer ring (erhema migrans.
doxycycline
Cholera
cause , s/s (signs and symptoms), treatment
fecally contaminated food or water (vibrio cholerae)
enterotoxin that produces diarrhea
doxycycline
Chlamydial infections
cause , s/s (signs and symptoms), treatment
Chlamydia trachomatis
-nongonococcal , urethritis, PID, lymphogranuloma venerum
Chlamydia psittaci
-pneumonia, hepatitis, myocarditis , coma
doxycyline or azithromycin
mycoplasma pneumoniae
cause , s/s (signs and symptoms), treatment
mycoplasma pneumoniae
community-acquired pneumonia
—-military camps
Macrolide or doxycycline
Rocky Mountain Spotted fever
cause , s/s (signs and symptoms), treatment
rickettsia rickettsii
-fever, chills, aches in bones and joints
tetracyclines-started early in the disease process
dairy products will create nonabsorbable chelates thus decrease oral absorption for ?
-divalent and trivalent cations: mg and aluminum anta acids or iron supplements
tetracyclines
tetracyclines that are oral and IV
minocycline and doxycycline
where do tetracyclines concentrate?
bile, liver, kidney, gingival fluid, and skin
minocycline and doxycycline achieve therapeutic levels in the
CSF
achieves high levels in saliva and tears, eradicating the meningococcal carrier state
minocycline
tetracycline is primarily eliminated unchanged in
urine
not hepatically metabolized
tetracycline and doxycycline
undergoes hepatic metabolism
minocycline
- lesser extent in kidney
in renally compromised patients we prefer?
because?
doxycycline
because eleminated via bile into feces
adverse effects of tetracyclines
gastric discomfort, calcified tissues, hepatotoxicity , phototxicity (severe sunburn), vestibular dysfunction, pseudotumor cerebri,
