Fluoroquinolones
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) - MC Levofloxacin (Levaquin) - MC Moxifloxacin (Avelox) - MC Gemifloxacin (Factive) Norfloxacin (Noroxin) Ofloxacin (Floxin) - otitis externa
PK of Fluoroquinolones
Distribution: tissue and fluids except CNS
Elimination: renal except moxifloxacin
Half-life: 4-12 hours
Fluoroquinolone MOA and Resistance
Inhibit ability of DNA gyrase and/or topoisomerase IV - inhibit ability of the bacterial DNA to replicate
Resistance: spontaneous mutations in genes of DNA gyrase or topoisomerase IV to reduce FQ affinity
Plasmid mediated
Fluoroquinolones SOA
Aerobic Gm neg. = all FQs
Pseudomonas aeruginosa = cipro and levo
Gm pos. streptococcus sp (respiratory) = levo, moxi, gemi
Anaerobic = moxifloxacin
Fluoroquinolone Clinical uses
UTI - cipro pneumonia - levo, moxi, gemi STI skin and soft tissue infx GI infections - good gm. neg coverage traveler's diarrhea - cipro osteomyelitis
Fluoroquinolones BBW
spontaneous tendon rupture
Esp. if >60 years, on corticosteroids, or kidney, heart, or lung transplants
Fluoroquinolones SE
nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, confusion, tendonitis, myopathy, peripheral neuropathy, aortic dissection/aneurysm, tendon rupture, QT prolongation
Fluoroquinolones drug interactions
Cipro = potent 1A2 inhibitor –> theopyhlline, warfarin, tizanidine, propranolol
Antacids, sucralfate, magnesium, calcium, iron = decreased absorptions of FQs
Fluoroquinolones Pseudomonas and special populations
Only oral agent against pseudomonas
Pregnancy and Lactation: exposure to infant
Peds: arthropathy and osteochondrosis
Caution in hepatic dysfunction
Sulfonamides
Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim (SMX-TMP, Bactrim DS, Septra)
Good distribution to body tissues, CSF, pleural fluid, synovial fluid
Eliminated through liver and kidneys
Sulfonamide MOA and Resistance
Folic acid synthesis inhibitors to inhibit DNA synth
Mutations result in additional production of PABA, changes in enzyme binding sites for sulfonamids
Plasmid mediated
Sulfonamide SOA and Clinical Uses
SOA: no anaerobic coverage, wide Gm + and - coverage
Uses: UTI, toxoplasmosis, MRSA, PCP or PJP in AIDS, sinusitis and otitis media but not recommended
Sulfonamide SE
SE: rash, fever, NVD, SJS, vasculitis, thrombocytopenia
W/ G6PD deficiency = hemolytic anemia
SJS
cell death causes the dermis and epidermis to separate
Hypersensitivity reaction of skin and mucous membranes
Sulfonamide DI
up to 70% protein bout = displaces other drugs
Potentiates the effects of warfarin, phenytoin, hypoglycemic agents, methotrexate
