Q

MOA of isoniazid?

A

Prodrug inhibitor of mycolic acid biosynthesis:
* acylated NADH not able to reduce alkene in fatty acid synthesis -> blocking mycolic acid synthesis

  2. Well distributed (granuloma and CSH)
  3. Used alone for prophylaxis
  4. Combo for infectious condition
  5. Combined with B6 (pyridoxine) to reduce peripehral neuritis

Q

MOA of rifampin?

A
  1. Inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase in bacterial cells by binding to b-subunit preventing transcription to RNA and translation to proteins
  2. Interacts with b-subunit of RNA polymerase when its a a2b trimer -> halting mRNA transcription -> preventing translation of polypeptides

Doesn’t stop elongation of mRNA once bindign to template strand of DNA has been intiated

18
Q

Why is rifampin not used as a monotherapy?

A

Resistance develops quickly

19
Q

SAR of rifamycin?

A

Inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase:
1. pi-pi bonding between naphthalene and aromatice amino acids of DDRP
2. Chelation to zic present in DDRP
3. H-bonding to enzyme through C21 and C23 OH

20
Q

Metabolism of rifampin?

A

Hydrolysis of Schiff base

21
Q

Describe the instability of rifampin?

A

Oxidation of parahydroxyquinone to paraquinone preventing pi-pi stacking

22
Q

ADR of rifampin?

A
  1. Excretion of red-orange color
  2. Hepatox and GI irritation
23
Q

DDI of rifampin?

A

CYP450 inducer (3A4 and 2C8/9/19) NOT D6

24
Q

Indication for rifaximin?

A

Traveler’s diarrhea, IBS-D

25
Q

What is the characterisitc of pyrazinamide?

A

Prodrug inhibitor of fatty acid symthesis -> Active against leten TB

26
Q

MOA of pyrazinamide?

A

Activated by pyrazibamidase to form pyrazinoic acid:
* Lowers pH of media
* Antimetabolite of NAD synthesis

27
Q

Indication for PZA?

A

Semidormant intracellular bacilli

28
Q

What is is the class of ethambutol?

A

Inhibitor of cell wall arabinan biosynthesis -> increases cell entry of other agents

29
Q

MOA of ethambutol?

A

Inhibits arabinosyl transferace that converts arabino to polyarbinose in AG and LAM

30
Q

ADR of ethambutol?

A

Optic neuritis with loss of visual acuity (red from green)

31
Q

What is the activity of ethionamide?

A

Activated by catalase peroxidase -> acytalates InhA or EthA leading to inhibtion of unsaturated fatty acid reduction and can produce an acyl radical

32
Q

What is PAS (para aminosalicylic acid)

A

Antimetabolte of PABA blocking folate acid synthesis

33
Q

ADR of ethionamide?

A

Hypersensitiy

34
Q

MOA of cycloserine?

A

Inhibitor of L-alanine racemase - blocks D-alanine syntheis (part of PG Mycobacterium)

35
Q

MOA of bedaquiline?

A

Breaththrough drug:
* Bonds at subunit C of ATP synthase
* Blocks the protein pump for ATP synthase

36
Q

What are the resistant mechanisms against bedaquiline?

A
  1. Mutations of ATP synthase
  2. Mutation to target: gene atpE codes of subunity
  3. Mutations in drug efflux pumps
37
Q

DDI of bedaquiline? BBW?

A

CYP3A4 inhibiton
BBW: QT prolongation from hERG channel blockage

38
Q

What is the MOA of pretomanid?

A
  1. Inhibition of cell wall mycolic acid biosynthesis in aerobic cells (replicating)
  2. Respiratory poisoning through NO release in anaerobic activity (static)
  3. Prodrug activated by deazaflavin
39
Q

Drug combos used for MAC infection?

A

Macrolides (choice): Clarithromycin, Azithromycin
Rifamycins: Refabutin
Misc: Ethambutol, Ciprofloxacin, Clofazimine

40
Q

Drug tx for leprosy?

A

Dapsone, Clofaziminem, Thalidomide

41
Q

MOA of dapsone?

A

Inhibits PABA incorporation into folic acid -> well absorbed

42
Q

MOA of clafazimine?

A

Generates ROS fro ractive carbones

43
