NH2, OH, CH3
In R5, it decrease its activity when ______ was attached.
halide and methoxy
Can form chelates with cations reducing bioavailability with quinolones
Quinolones
Can form chelates with cations reducing bioavailability with quinolones (thus, we should ____ antacids and all other _______)
- Avoid
- Metal ion sources (Fe+3)
It interferes with DNA gyrase
Nalidixic acid
inhibit DNA synthesis during bacterial replication.
Nalidixic acid
Active against gram (-) bacteria but not effective against pseudomonas organisms.
Nalidixic acid
Nalidixic acid is active against _____ bacteria but not effective against pseudomonas organism
- gram (-)
- pseudomonas organism
In Nalidixic acid this is more active
7-hydroxymethyl metabolite
p210
Nalidixic acid
How many generations does Quinolones have?
4 Generations
Have moderate gram-negative activity and minimal systemic distribution
First Generation
Example of First Generation
- Cinoxacin (Cinoxacin)
- Nalidixic acid (NegGam, Wintomylon)
- Oxolinic acid
NegGam and Wintomylon
Nalidixic Acid
Have expanded gram negative activity and atypical pathogen coverage, but limited grampositive activity
Second Generation
Example of Second Generation
Class I
- Lomefloxacin (Maxaquin)
- Norfloxacin (Noroxin)
- Enoxacin (Penetrex)
Class II
- Ofloxacin (Floxin)
- Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
Retain expanded gram-negative and atypical intracellular activity but have improved gram positive coverage
Third Generation
Example of Third Generation
- Levofloxacin (Levaquin)
- Sparfloxacin (Zagam) *
- Moxifloxacin (Avelox)
Improve gram-positive coverage, maintain gram-negative coverage, and gain anaerobic coverage
Fourth Generation
Example of Fourth Generation
- Clinafloxacin
- Gemifloxacin (Factive)
- Moxifloxacin (Avelox, Vigamox)
- Gatifloxacin (Tequin)
- Sitafloxacin
- Trovafloxacin (Trovan) (withdrawn)
not available in the market due to CNS, Gl adverse effects
Cinoxacin
It is a close congener of oxolinic acid, an anti-bacterial agent no longer in the market.
Cinoxacin
It is more completely absorbed and less protein-bound than nalidixic acid
Cinoxacin
Higher concentration than nalidixic acid
Cinoxacin
It is a Broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, active against gram (+) and gram (-)
Norfloxacin
Fluoride atoms provide increase in potency against gram (+)
Norfloxacin
Activity generally is not effective against obligate anaerobic bacteria
Activity generally is not effective against obligate anaerobic bacteria
Norfloxacin
Activity generally is not effective against obligate anaerobic bacteria
Norfloxacin
It is used for uncomplicated gonorrhea in 800 mg single oral dose
Norfloxacin
The primary use is for the treatment of UTI and STD, for uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis and chancroid.
