classes that inhibit protein synthesis

subgroups of Penicillins
Pen G
Pen V
Aminopenicillins (amoxicilin/ampicillin)
b-lactamase resistant (nafcillin/oxacillin)
extended spectrum (ticarcillin/pipercillin)
Penicillins
MOA: b-lactam
bactericidal
Gram + (some gram – cocci)
excretion: renal (except nafcililn)
Pen G limitations
short half-life
narrow spectrum (Gram +)
not acid stable (not orally)
susceptible to b-lactamases
Pen V improved ___ compared to Pen G
absorption
more acid stable, can be given orally
Aminopenicillins
semisynthetic
broader spectrum, includes some gram –
acid stable, used orally
rash more common
Ticarcillin and Pipercillin
extended spectrum
treat more serious gram –
aka anti-pseudomonal penicillins
3 ways to overcome b-lactamase
give more drug
inhibit b-lactamase directly
make changes to drug
nafcillin and oxacillin
b-lactamase resistant
naficillin excretion
biliary
Cephalosporins
MOA: b-lactam
bactericidal
Gram + and – (generations differ)
excretion: renal
1st gen cephalosporins
mainly gram + cocci
some gram –
ex: Cefazolin
Cefazoline used for
prophylactically before surgery, long half life, high protein binding
2nd gen cephalosporins
gram + and -
extended coverage of –
3rd gen cephalosporins
more gram – than +
ex: ceftriaxone
Ceftriaxone uses
bacterial meningitis - Strep pneumoniae and N. meningitidis
crosses BBB
hepatic/biliary elimination
Ceftriaxone precaution
incompatible with calcium containing products
4th gen cephalosporins
gram + and -, for b-lactamase producing bacteria
ex: cefepime
Ceftaroline
advanced generation/newer cephalosporin
bactericidal
for MRSA
