Q

What are the mechanism of antibacterial activity

A

1) inhibition of antemetabolites
egsulphonamide, they inhibit the enzyme catalysed reactions

2)inhibition of cell wall synthesis-eg penicillin and cephalosporins, this leads to bursting or the cell and death

Q

What is the Moa of sulphonamide

A

They act as competitive enzyme inhibitors and block the biosynthesis of folic acid in bacterial cell.
Sulphonamide has a similar structure to paba which allows it to mimic and bind to dihydrofolate preventing it from producing folic acid.

25
Q

Monobactams

A

They are monocyclic β-lactam produced by bacteria.
Eg Azthreonam/Tigemonam

26
Q

Aminoglycosides

A

Antibiotics that contain amino sugars
Eg gentamicin ,neomycin,amicasin,tobramycin
-they synergize with beta lactam antibiotics because it incraeses their ability to permeate

27
Q

Side effects of aminoglycosides include

A

Can cause permanent damage to 8th cranial nerve causing ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity.

28
Q

Moa of aminoglycosides

A

The aminoglycosides irreversibly bind to the 16S ribosomal RNA & freeze the 30S initiation complex (30S-mRNA-tRNA) so that no further initiation can occur.

29
Q

What are macrolides

A

-They are chemical related antibiotics from actonomycetes.
-has one or two sugars glycodically linked to the lactine ring
-active against penicllin resistant strains and gram negative bacteria

30
Q

Eg of macrolides

A

Erythromycin, Oleandomycin, Carbomycin, Spiramycin, Picromycin

31
Q

Tetracyclines

A

They are effective group of antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces species by fermentation.
-has 3 structural features;Tricarbonyl methane, phenolic b-diketone,Dimethylamino group.

32
Q

Polyenes

A

They are antibiotics produced by various strains of Streptomyces.
-characterized by a alarge lactone function and a sequnece of of conjugated double bonds.
-active against yeast and fungi but inactive against bacteria
-the more conjugated bond, the greater the antifungal activity.

33
Q

Eg of polyenes

A

Amphotericin B, Candicin, Nystatin And Natamycin

34
Q

how many rings are in Alpha and Gamma lactams?

A

3 and 5 rings

35
Q

6-APA means

A

6–aminopenicillanic acid and is obtained by deacylation of phenoxymethyl penicillin

36
Q

C atom with the COOH(C-3) has what type of configuration?

A

Dextro

37
Q

Amidic C-6 has what type of configuration?

A

Laevo

38
Q

properties of penicillins include

A

the free acids have poor oral and parental absorption
they are poorly lipid soluble and do not cross the BBB

39
Q

what are Depot preparations?

A

They are salt repository preparations which are sparingly soluble in water.
they are injected into the muscles and the active substances are slowly released into the blood.

40
Q

Both Peniciliins and Cephalosporins belong to which precursors?

A

Cysteine and Valine

41
Q

what bacteria are 1st Gen cephalosporins more active against?

A

-they are more active against Gram positive with limited activity against Gram negative

42
Q

1st Gen Cephalosporins

A

-eg include Cephalexin, Cephradine,Cefadroxil
-they are hydrolysed by beta lactamase and have lower activity
-they have a single methyl at position C-3 and alpha amino group at C-7 with a phenyl group

43
Q

2nd Gen Cephalosporins

A

-Loracarbef has a tetrahydropyrimidine ring because of the C atom in the ring instead of sulphur
eg include Cefuroxime, Loracarbef,Cefotiam

-Cefotiam has an aminothiazole ring at C-3 side chain

44
Q

3rd Gen Cephalosporins

A

majority of them have an aminothiazole ring at position C-7

45
Q

4th Gen

they have greater activity against gram negative
-they hav C-7 side chain
-they possess a positively charged quarternary nitrogen at C-3 side which makes them easy to diffuse through gram negative bacteria membrane
eg cefozopran

46
Q

Clavulanic acid(Sulbactam) is produced by?

A

streptomyces clavuligerus
it is the clinically useful irreversible inhibitor of beta lactamase and is termed as a suicide inhibitor because it gets destroyed in the process.

what is the indication of chloramphenicol?

A

Q

moa of chloramphenicol

A

they inhibit bacterial protein synthesis caused by Haemophilus influenzae or Neisseria meningitis

Q

examples of naturally occuring antimalarials include

A

Quinine-from cinchona officinalis
artemsinine-Artemisia annda
,cinchonine

59
Q

SAR of Quinine

A
