Lecture 8 - Med Chem Antibiotics 3 Flashcards
1st gen Quinolones
Nalidixic acid = 1st to market, D/c’d
Oxolinic acid
Clinoxacin
Enoxacin
Common structure of quinolone antimicrobials?
N-1-alkylated 3-carboxypyrid-4-one ring fused to another aromatic ring
Quinolones absorption
well absorbed following oral admin and highly serum protein bound
comparatively long 1/2 life but restricts use mainly to protein free compartments such as urinary track

Quinolones MOA
Bactericidal action results from inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV
Why dont quinolones kill host cells?
Humans use Topoisomerase II, this doesn’t bind to quinolones
Chemical incompatibilities of quinolones
chelate metal ions and lose potency
dont give with Ca, Mg, Al supps or dairy
3rd/4th gen quinolones
3rd gen = gatifloxacin + gemifloxacin
4th gen = moxifloxacin + trovafloxacin
Sulfonamides MOA
Antimicrobial activity by interfering with folate synthesis
Step by step MOA Sulfonamides
- Bacteria use PABA to make folic acid
- purees essential for DNA synthesis
- Sulfonamides similar to PABA, but have higher afifinity for dihydropteroate synthase
- sulfonamide will bind instead of PABA, leading to inhibition of DNA synthesis
Sulfisoxazole info
- one of most popular sulfonamide w/ broad antimicrobial spectrum in vitro
- clinically use restricted ti uncomplicated UTI
Sulfisoxazole structural features
- Acidity of N attached to aromatic SO2 grp is inc by attaching EW ring
- this inc acidity inc antibacterial potency but also dramatically inc water solubility under physiologic conditions
- this addresses problem of insolubility leading to crystallization in urine associated with earlier sulfonamides
Sulfonamide resistance
- Common and involves alterations in Dihydropteroate synthase*** so that is discriminates better between PABA and sulfonamides
- Bacteria able to take up preformed folic acid into cells are intrinsically resistant to sulfonamides
Sulfsalazine info
- treat UC and CD
- pro drug, missing free para-amino = inactive antibacterial
- its red ago dye given orally, not absorbed in gut and majority delivered to distal bowel
- Reductive metabolism by gut bacteria convert to sulfapyridine and 5-ASA (mesalamine) = purpose for admin of drug
Trimethoprim works by…
inhibition of action of dihydrofolate reducatase
Bacterostatic mainly used in prophylaxis and treatment of UTI
Trimethoprim selectivity between bacterial and mammalian dihydrofolate reductase results from…
subtle but significant architectural difference between the two enzymes
Metronidazole
Flagyl, antibiotic + antiprotozoal
comes in oral, cream or IV
Metronidazole MOA
Nitroimidazole class
inhibits nucleic acid synthesis by disrupting the DNA of microbial cells
only occurs in anaerobic cells
Isoniazid for TB
acts as bactericidal by affecting the synthesis of lipids, NA and Mycelia acid of cell wall of these species
Isoniazid MOA
Bio activation of INH
- INH = prodrug, activated by oxidation via KatG to reactive species capable of acylating enzyme system found exclusively in M.Tuberculosis
- mycelia acid important part of mycobacterial cell well. inhaler important enzyme
- activating intermediates from INH interact with NADH bound within active site of inhaled to form acylated NDA which is no longer capable of catalyzing reduction of unsaturated fatty acids which are essential for synthesis of mycloic acids.
INH resistance
loss of catalyst activity is associated with the deletion of catalase gene, katG as well as over expression of of InhA
INH metabolism
- readily absorbed from GI
- extensively metabolized to inactive metabolites
- Acetylhydrazine serves as CYP450 substrate resulting in formation of reactive intermediate which capable of acylating liver protein resulting in liver necrosis **
Major metabolite INH
N-acetylisoniazid, formed by action of N-acetyltransferase
Which metabolite of INH plays role in liver necrosis?
Acetylhydrazide
Rifamycin Antibiotic MOA
inhibit bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase by strongly binding to B-subunit of enzyme.
Inhibition of DDRP leads to blocking of initiation of chain formation in RNA synthesis
** No effect once polymerization has begun ***
Benefit of Rifampin + Rifapentine
Significant benefit over prev investigated rifamcyins in that they’re orally active, highly effective, and high clinical efficacy in oral txm of TB
Detailed MOA Rifamycin
- suggested that naphthalene ring of rifamycins pi-pi bonds to an aromatic amino acid ring in DDRP protein
- DDRP metalloenzyme which contains 2 zinc atoms
- C1/C8 of rifamycin chelate to zinc atom, inc binding to DDRP and O at C21/C23 form strong H bond to DDRP
- binding to DDRP results in inhibition of RNA synthesis
SAR Rifamycin
- Free OH groups req at C1/C8/C21/C23 + appear to lie in plane
- Acetylation at C21/C23 = inactive compounds
- reduction of double bond in ring results in dec activity
- opening macro ring = inactive compound
Pyrazinamide info
- bioisostere of nicotinamide, possess bactericidal action
- activity is pH depending w// good in vivo activity at pH 5.5 but nearly inactive at neutral pH***
- especially beneficial active against semi dormant intracellular tubercle bacilli that are not affected by other drugs.
Pyrazinamide MOA
- prodrug, converted into active form Pyrazinoic acid (POA) by bacterial nicotinamidase/pyrazinamidase (PZase)
Pyrazinamide Metabolism
- readily absorbed after oral admin, little excreted unchanged
- major metabolic route consists of hydrolysis by PZase to pyrazinoic acid then oxidized by Xanthine oxidase to 5-hydropyrazinoic acid
Ethambutol info
1.Bacterostatic for TB
+ enantiomer is 200-500X moe active than - enantiomer
usually given in combo w/ other TB drugs
Ethambutol MOA
- not completely known
- exerts bacteriostatic activity by inhibition of arabunosyl transferase, an enzyme that polymerizes arbinose into Arabian and then arabinogalactan, a mycobacterial cell wall constituent
Ethambutol mechanism of resistance
involves gene over expression of arabinosyl transferase
Ethambutol Metabolsim
- majority oral admin excreted unchanged, no more than 15% appear as Metabolite A/B
- both metabolites are devoid of biologic activity
Cell wall/cell envelope of mycobacterium
- Plasma membrane
- Peptidoglycan layer
- AG
- Layer of mycolylates
- LAM
Second line TB agents
Ethionamide Para-aminosalicyclic acid cycloserine capreomycin kanamycin
usually less well tolerated or higher incidence of ADE
usually used in case of resistance
Ethionamide info
- Bactericidal
- MOA: similar to INH, prodrug converted to active acylating agent, which inactivates inhaled
- orally active, but single large dose (>500mg) not well tolerated. SE = GI,CNS, sensitivity
PAra-Aminosalicylic Acid (PAS)
used as 2nd line due to resistance and SE
thought to act as antimetabolite interfering with in crop of para-amino benzoic acid into folic acid
When co-admin w/ INH found to reduce acetylation of INH, thus increasing plasma lvls of INH
