Lecture 8 - Antitubercular agents Flashcards
1st line Antitubular Agents
RIPE
Rifamycins
Isoniazid
Pyrazinamide
Ethambutol
Rifamycins
Rifampin
Rifabutin
Rifapentine
Rifamycins MOA
Inhibit DNA dependent RNA polymerase
Bind to b-subunit of enzyme complex
Rifampin ADME properties
Widely distributed, highly lipophilic
Hepatic metabolism, 3-4hrs 1/2 life
mostly feces excreted some in urine
Rifabutin ADME properties
Widely distributed
Hepatic metabolism, 45hrs 1/2life
5 metabolites its metabolized to
Rifapentime ADME properties
High fat meals inc AUC & Max
Widely distributed
Hepatic metabolism, 17hr 1/2 life
Excreted mostly in feces 70/30
Big reason for choosing one Rifamycin over another?
DI
Rifampin DI
has a bunch
Warfarin = inc clot risk
Cyclosporine, Tacrolimus
HIV protease inhibitors + NNRT inhib
Rifabutin DI
way less DI, 50% of induction seen w/ rifampin
still has CYP3A4 tho
Rifapentine DI
more potent inducer than rifabutin but less than rifampin
rarely used
Rifampin Adverse Reactions
Hepatitis main issue
GI, rash, Genitourinary = change colors
Rifabutin Adverse Reactions
Rash, Urine discoloration, GI, some Hematologic
higher incidence
Rifapentine Adverse Reactions
Hepatic, Hematologic, Genitourinary
Rifampin role in therapy
1st line in pulmonary + extra pulmonary TB
resistance rapidly evolves if used alone
Rifabutin role in therapy
Rifampin alternative, as effective in drug susceptible TB
** used in pts w/ HIV if using protease inhibitors **
Rifapentine role in therapy
approved for once weekly use in INH in continuation phase of therapy w/ HIV neg patients
** Avoid in HIV + patients on antiretroviral therapy
Isoniazid (INH) MOA
- inhibit synthetic pathways of mycelia acid
- inhibit catalase-peroxidase enzyme
- Bactericidal ( against activity growing) and bacteriostatic (against non-replicating organisms0
Isoniazid (INH) ADME
well distributed, rapid absorption
excreted mostly in urine
Fast acetylators = lower 1/2 life
Slow acetylators = higher 1/2 life
Isoniazid (INH) Adverse effects
Hepatitis
Neurotoxic - peripheral neuropathy ~ 17% ( give Vit B to prevent)
Hypersensitivity reactions
Isoniazid Hepatitis risk factors
Alcoholics Preexisting liver damage Reg women + women 3 months postpartum Concomitant hepatotoxic agents Active Hep B HIV-seropositve pts on HAART
Isoniazid DI
Phenytoin
Theophylline
Clopidogrel
Isoniazid Role in therapy
1st line, indicated for all clinical forms of TB, used in combo
Used alone for latent TB
