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
