Inhibitors of Protein Synthesis (IPS) Flashcards
Prokaryotic ribosome subunits
50s and 30s (combined = 70s)
7 Inhibitors of PS
- Macrolides
- ketolides
- Clindamycin
- Streptogramins
- Oxazolidinones
- Aminoglycosides
- Broad spectrum abx
Inhibits 30s
Aminoglycosides & tetracyclines
Macrolide drugs
Erythromycin (oral, IV)
Clarithromycin (oral)
Azithromycin (oral, IV)
Macrolide properties
G+
reversibly bind to 50s
bacteriostatic; concentration/organism dependent
Oral absorption, biliary excretion, fecal elimination
Macrolide elimination
Fecal
H. pylori alternative tx with macrolide
clarithromycin + omeprazole (+ ampicillin)
DOC for macrolides
Chlamydia- azithromycin (or tetracylcine)
Mycoplasma pneumonia (erythromycin or tetracycline)
Legionella spp (azithromycin + rifampin or quinolone)
Syphilis in those allergic to Pen G
Resistance to macrolide
efflux pump
methylation of drug binding site (ribosome)
Toxicity of macrolide
GI sx (clarithro-least, Erythro- most) QT prolongation- torsades Ototoxicity (IV erythro) hepatic changes (jaundice, hyperbillirubinemia, abnormal LFT)
QT wave
time for heart to contract and refill; represents depolarization and repolarization of ventricles
macrolide with least drug interaction
Azithromycin
Drug with worst drug interactions
Erythromycin
Erythromycin
potent inhibitor of CYP3A4; inhibits hepatic metabolism of other drugs that require CYP3A4, increasing their serum concentrations and potential toxicity
Erythromycin drug interactions
Carbamazepine Clozapine Cyclosporine Methadone Quinidine Protease inhibitors
Macrolide with worst QT prolongation
Azithromycin
Increased QT when erythromycin is administered with
cisapride or pimozide
sparfloxacin or grepafloxacin
GI macrolides
clarithro < azithro < erythro
Drug interactions macrolide order
azithro < clarithro = erythro
Ketolide drug
Telithromycin (ketek)
MOA of telithromycin
bind to TWO sites on 50s to inhibit protein synthesis
Telithromycin properties
BROAD-SPECTRUM
static
50s
Good against repiratory pathogens including erythromycin and PCN-resistant pneumococci
activity against intracellular and atypical bacteria
VERY HEPATOTOXIC
Kinetics of telithromycin
oral
metabolized by CYP3A4
side effects: diarrhea, GI
Contraindication of telithromycin
myasthenia gravis
Telithromycin use
only CAP (not DOC: use macrolide)
Clindamycin properties
oral, parenteral and topical 50s G+ cocci, anaerobic G-/G+ Resistant: G- aerobes and enterococci static or cidal metabolized by liver, minimally excreted by kidneys
Clindamycin use
Strep (not enterococci), staph (MRSA); gram + anaerobes (clostridia);
TSS (w/ vanco, nafcillin, or first gen cephalosporin)
OSTEOMYELITIS- obtains high concentration in bone
Toxoplasma encephalitis
Toxoplasma encephalitis tx
clindamycin
Osteomyelitis tx
clindamycin
Clindamycin toxicity
well-known cause of pseudomembranous colitis crosses placenta (avoid in prego and nursing)
Streptogramin drug
Dalforpristin; quinupristin (synercid) (IV)
Synercid mechanism
Dalfopristin: inhibits early protein synthesis
Quinupristi: inhibits late protein synthesis
BACTERICIDAL TOGETHER
Synercid use
Aerobic G + including:
PCN-resistant pneumonia, MDR-strep
compicated skin infections due to MSSA or MRSA
VRE
VRE tx
synercid
Adverse reaction of synercid
hepatotoxicity
inhibit P450 system (CYP3A4), many metabolic interactions (warfarin, diazepam)
Drug interactions of synercid
warfarin, diazepam
Contraindication of synercid
breast-feeding children hepatic disease pregnancy streptogramin hypersensitivity
Linezolid (oxazolidinones) activity
aerobic G+ organisms
MOA of linezolid
bind to 50s, preventing formation of 70s ribosome;
bacteriostatic (except for in strep)
Reversible, non-selevtive inhibitor of MAO
