sulfonamides, trimethoprim, and quinolones Flashcards
Competitive inhibitors of Dihydropteroate synthase
Sulfonamides
Selective inhibitor of bacterial Dihydrofolate reductase
Trimethoprim
Sequential blockade of folate synthesis
Trimethoprim + Sulfamethoxazole (cotrimoxazole)
Act as substrates for dihydropteroate synthase, producing nonfunctional forms of folate
Sulfonamides
Prevents formation of active tetrahydrofolate (THF)
Trimethoprim
Sulfonamides for simple UTI
Triple sulfa, Sulfisoxazole
Drug for ocular infection
Sulfacetamide
Drug for burn infections
Mafenide, Silver Sulfadiazine
Drug for ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis
Sulfasalazine
Drug for burn wounds but causes metabolic acidosis
Mafenide acetate
First line for acute toxoplasmosis
Sulfadiazine + Pyrimethimine
Second line antimalarial agent
Sulfadoxine + Pyrimethamine (Fansinadir)
DOC for pjp, toxoplasma, nocardiosis
