Lipoglycopeptides Flashcards
What is Telavancin
semi-synthetic derivative of vancomycin
Telavancin MOA
dual:
- interferes with cell wall synthesis by binding to the d-ala-d-ala terminus of peptidoglycan precursors
- binding to cell membranes causing membrane depolarization and increased membrane permeability

Lipoglycopeptides have poor activity against
enterococcus species with VanA
Telavancin oral absorption
poor, IV only
Telavancin 1/2 life
6-8 hours; long
Telavancin elimination
64-76% renal
Telavancin dosing
usually 24-48 hours depending on CrCl
Telavancin adverse effects
*taste disturbance
*nausea
*vomiting
*foamy urine
renal
rigors
infusion-related
*red man syndrome
*QT prolongation
*contraindicated in pregnancy
clinicians are also cautioned to consider renal function
Telavancin is okay/not okay for pregnancy
NOT OKAY
Telavancin drug interactions
phospholipid agents used in measuring activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, and coag-based factor X assays
co-administration with heparin is contraindicated
Long acting lipoglycopeptides
Dalbavancin, ortivancin
Long acting lipoglycopeptide MOA
binds to d-ala-d-ala terminus of lipid II in peptidoglycan chain
