Drug Classes According To Pharmacophore Flashcards
mechanisms of antibacterial agents
- inhibiting cell metabolism
- inhibiting cell wall synthesis
- interacting with plasma membrane
- disrupting protein synthesis
- inhibition of nucleic acid transport and replication
drug class that inhibits cell metabolism
sulfanilamide
sulfanilamide SAR (structure, activity relation)
- para amino group essential
- aromatic and sulfonamide essential
- aromatic ring must have para substitutions
- sulfonamide nitrogen must be primary or secondary
fanisdar
combination of sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine
fanisdar MOA
- blocks synthesis of tetrahydrofolate
- which is an enzyme cofactor that provides one carbon units for synthesis of pyrimidine nucleic acid bases
fanisdar conditions to treat
- malaria
- uti’s
- gut infections
drug class that inhibits cell wall synthesis
penicillins
penicillin SAR
- beta-lactam essential
- free COOH essential
- bicyclic system important
- acylamino side chain essential
- sulfur usual but not essential
- cis stereochemistry important with respect to acylamino side chain (bold wedge)
drug class that interacts with plasma membrane
ion-conducting antibiotics
examples of ion-conducting antibiotics
vancomycin, gramicidin A and polymyxin B
SAR of ion-conducting antibiotics
- they are massive structures
- active for G- bacteria
drug class that disrupts protein synthesis
- aminoglycosides
- tetracyclines
- macrolides
drug class that inhibits nucleic acid transportation and replication
- quinolones
- fluoroquinolones
- work by stabilising complex formed between DNA and topoisomerases
SAR of quinolones
- bicyclic ring
- pyridine
- piperazinyl ring at position 7 beneficial
- cyclopropyl substituent at position 1 increased broad spectrum activity
- replacement of nitrogen at position 8 reduced adverse reactions
drugs that inhibit transcription phase (antiviral agents)
- Efavirenz
- Didanosine
drug that inhibits post transcription phase (antiviral agents)
idinavir
