exam 3 - OTHER INFO lecture 1 Flashcards
what two layers does the cell wall consist of and explain what they are?
- phospholipid bilayer (outer layer)
- peptidoglycan layer (thicker, has gram neg more than post)
what two components does the peptidoglycan layer have? what is the peptapeptide?
- n-acetylglycosamine, NAG
- n-acetylmuramic acid, NAM
they are opposing strands of amino sugars
peptapeptide DANGLES down from the NAM
what is the transpeptidase reaction? how does transpeptidase work?
- it is the formation and last stop of the peptidoglycan layer
- Transpeptidase is an enzyme that carries out the PCN binding protein
- transpeptidase work by linking the terminal alanien and lysine to make ONE SOLID THICK BARRIER of the peptidoglycan layer
what is the MOA of b-lactam ABX? what happens if a bacteria has no cell wall?
- they all INHIBIT THE protein binding protein (transpeptidase rx) that links the two opposing layers tg
No cell wall = death :(
what are the two PCN we learned? what is their unit? and pharmacokinetics?
- PCN G (benzyl) - IV
- PCN V (benzathine) - PO
the PO is used for minor infection, has poor bioavail, and narrow spectrum
unit - 0.6mg
pharmacokinetics - IV and PO, subject to hepatic metabolism but not all prob around 75-80% then renal excretion
half life - 30-1 hour in normal people but if you have kidney disease then its longer so be careful
what is the semisynethic PCN called? what group does it now include?
ISOXAZOLYL PENICILLINS
it now include stappococci
what are the 5 drugs part of the ISOXAZOLYL PENICILLINS group? are they PO or IV?
MC-DNO
1. methicilin - 1st drug but stapococci develoepd resisitance to this quickly
2.cloxacillin - PO
3. dicloxacillin - FAMOUS! GIVEN PO OR IV - reapidly excrete by the kidney
4. Nafcillin - IV high rate of nephrotoxicity :( so not used often
5. Oxacillin - IV
when do u use isoxazolyl pcn?
it includes strapyloccoci so use it for S.epiderminis and MSSA
what enzyme hydrolzyes the bond between C and N in b-lactam ring?
b-lactamase (penicillinase) hydrolzyes the bond between C-N in B-lactam making it useless
what is the pentagon ring called in b-lactam? what does it have?
thiazoline ring - has a sulfar
what are the TWO B-lactam drugs that contains thaizoline?
monobactams
carbapenems
why/how would carbapenem be resistance to many b-lactamases?
it would be resistance bc although it does contain thaizoline ring, it DOES NOT HAVE SULFA in the ring itself (normaly it would) –> this alters the sterochemical configuration of the molecule
what is the pharmacokinetics for aminopenicillins?
excreted by the kidney make sure of renal failure
what are the three B-lactamase inhibitors?
- clavulante acid
- tazobactam
- sulbactam
what are the untowrd effect of PCN?
- anaphylaxis - can happen due to the degradation of the product that triggers a immune repsonse
- varing severity of anaphalyxis
- desensitzation in preg women
