Quiz 3 Flashcards
Minocycline
PSI, Tetracycline. reversibly binds to 30s ribo. subunit preventing tRNA binding–translation stops.
Valacyclovir (Valtrex)
Herpesvirus drug.?Guanosine analog gets incorporated into viral DNA via DNA poly
Cycloserine
Second-line antimycobacterial. Inhibits cell wall synthesis
Caspofungin
Antifungal, Echinocandin. lyses cell wall.
Fidaxomicin
PSI, Macrolide/Ketolide. Binds to 50s ribo. subunit (can inhibit its formation) to block peptidyltransferasecenter to prevent AA elongation.
Fluconazole
Antifungal, Azole. Inhibits P450 enzyme that converts lanosterol to ERGOSTERL, disrupting fungal membrane.
Dapsone
Antimicobacterial, Leprosy drug. Inhibits folate synthesis.
Linezolid
PSI, “other”. binds to 50s subunit to inhibit ribosome complex formation.
Isoniazid
First-line antimycobacterial. Prodrug gets converted and blocks mycolic acid production
Famciclovir
Herpesvirus drug. ?Guanosine analog gets incorporated into viral DNA via DNA poly
Trimethoprim
Antifolate. Inhibits dehydrogolate reductase, preventing dihydrofolic to tetra
Amantadine
Respiratory flu drug. inhibits viral uncoating. Blocks viral membrane matrix protein M2 so viral and host membrane can’t fuse.
Azithromycin (Zithromax, Zpak)
PSI, Macrolide/Ketolide. Binds to 50s ribo. subunit (can inhibit its formation) to block peptidyltransferasecenter to prevent AA elongation.
Micafungin
Antifungal, Echinocandin. lyses cell wall.
Acyclovir
Herpesvirus drug. Guanosine analog gets incorporated into viral DNA via DNA poly
Nitrofurantoin
Urinary Tract Antiseptic. bacteria makes drug a toxic intermediate that damages their DNA
Cotrimoxazole (Bactrim)
Antifolate. Trimethoprim + Sulfamethoxazole
Tobramycin
PSI Aminoglycoside. Binds to 30s ribo subunit preventing protein synthesis initiation AND cause misreading of mRNA causing wrong AA insertion.
Doxycycline
PSI, Tetracycline. reversibly binds to 30s ribo. subunit preventing tRNA binding–translation stops.
Norfloxacin
2nd line antimycobacterial and 2nd Gen Flouroquinolone. Enters bacteria via diffusion; uses dual mechanism to inhibit DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.
Flucytosine
Antifungal, “Other”. drug enters fungal cell and is converted into the antimetabolite 5-FU
Amphotericin B
Antifungal, Polyene Antibiotic. binds to ergosterol in membrane making ion pore > death.
Ethionamide
Second-line antimycobacterial. Prodrug gets converted and blocks mycolic acid production
Ketoconazole
Antifungal, Azole. Inhibits P450 enzyme that converts lanosterol to ERGOSTERL, disrupting fungal membrane.
Moxifloxacin
2nd line ANTIMYCOBACTERIAL and 4nd Gen Flouroquinolone. Enters bacteria via diffusion; uses dual mechanism to inhibit DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.
Pyrazinamide
First-line antimycobacterial. Inhibits growth by lowering intracellular pH
Posaconazole
Antifungal, Azole. Inhibits P450 enzyme that converts lanosterol to ERGOSTERL, disrupting fungal membrane.
Ribavirin
Viral Hepatitis drug. guanosine analog causes dec guanosine triphosphate, blocking DNA/RNA synthesis.
