Q

Pyrazinamide (PZA) MOA

A

Converted to pyrazinoic acid, lowering pH of environment

Inhibits fatty acid synthetase, involved in mycelia acid which are important for cell well

24
Q

Pyrazinamide (PZA) ADME

A

well absorbed, widely distributed

crosses inflamed meninges

Hepatic metabolism, 9-10hr 1/2 life

25
Q

Pyrazinamide (PZA) Adverse Reactions

A

Hepatotoxicity ~ 15% in trials in early trials at higher doses

GI - N/V
Urine retention ~ 50%
Gout

26
Q

Pyrazinamide (PZA) DI

A

Doesn’t have any really

BUT enhances hepatitis effects of Rifampin

27
Q

Pyrazinamide (PZA) Role in therapy

A

1st line, essential component of multi drug 6month therapy

** Pts have to be on PZA for 1st 2 months **

Primary resistance is low, but if resistant to INH/Rifampin will probs be resistant to PZA

28
Q

Ethambutol MOA

A

Interferes with cell wall biosynthesis

Inhibits arabinosyl transferase (EmbB)

29
Q

Ethambutol ADME

A

Well absorbed

Widely distributed

Hepatic metabolsim

excreted urine and feces

30
Q

Ethambutol Adverse Reactions

A
Neuropathy
** Retrobulbar optic neuritis**
GI
Hyperuricemia
Hypersensitivity
31
Q

Retrobulbar optic neuritis

A

Bilateral blurry vision and red/green color vision
Slowly reversible
TIW admin reduces the risk

32
Q

Ethambutol DI

A

None

33
Q

Ethambutol Role in therapy

A

1st line, 4th drug of combo

protects against rifampin resistance, dropped once susceptibilities results are back

34
Q

TB Treatment Algo

A

If think they have TB, start on RIPE

Once susceptibilities back, E can be d/x if no drug resistance

P has to be on of 1st 2 months, can take off after for rest

**If dont get P in 1st 2 months, have to stay on therapy for 9 **

35
Q

Bedaquiline ( Diarylquinoline) MOA

A

Inhibits ATP synthase through inhibition of proton transfer chain required for energy generation

36
Q

Bedaquiline ( Diarylquinoline) ADME

A

Absorption inc w/ food
Large Vd
Hepatic metabolism

37
Q

Bedaquiline ( Diarylquinoline) Adverse effects

A

** Nausea ~ 38%
QTc prolongation
Black box for Cardiac toxicity/sudden death

38
Q

Bedaquiline ( Diarylquinoline) Black Box

A

“Only use when an effective treatment regime cannot otherwise be provided”

39
Q

Clofazimine MOA

A

Prodrug, originally anti-leporsy

exactly mechanism not well understood

causes accumulation of ROS radicals and cause cell death basically

40
Q

Clofazimine ADME

A

Absorption variable, inc w/ food
Highly Lipophilic
No hepatic metabolism

41
Q

Clofazimine Adverse effects

A

** Pigmentation changes = pink/brown/black color

GI = abdominal pain

42
Q
