Suttle Treatment of Tb Flashcards
bactericidal treatments require…
bacteria to be actively growing
Tb can survive within
macophages–> making them resistant to AB’s
general course of tx for TB infection
multi-agents (will become resisitant to single therapy) and for a protracted course of tx.
First line therapy against M. tuberculosis
INH + RIF+ pyrazinamide + (ethambutol or streptomycin)
First line tx for MAC
Clarithromycin + ethambutol or clofazamine or cipro or amikacin
why is rifabutin better than rifampin
less potent CYP inducer
why is rifampentene better than rifampin
longer half-life (once weekly dosing)
*intermediate CYp inducer
best LATENt therapy
IND-RPT under DOT
who does not get INH-RPT
, 2, pregnant, HIV, LTBI with INH or RIF resistance
Active cases of TB get what dosing regimine
initial phase –> 8 weeks
continuation phase-> 18 weeks
*2-4 drugs taken for 26 weeks on different dosing schedules
how to ensure compliance
DIRECT OBSERVED THERAPY
HIV NEGATIVE PT’S WITH NEGATIVE AFB SPUTUM AND CHEST X RAY CAN GET
*AFTER INHITIAL PHASE
CONTINUATION PHASE OF OCE WEEKLY INH/RPT
ISONIAZID TARGETS
cell wall synthesis
ethambutol targets
cell wall synthesis
pryazinamide targets
unknown–> disrupts plasma membrane and enables energy metabolism
MOA for isoniazid
interferes with mycolic acid synthesis
- cidal for rapidly dividing bacilli
* static for latent/ slow growing
isoniazid
resistance to isonizaid
inability to take up the drug, alteraiton of taret enzyme, overproduction of target enzyme,
*rapid resistance, never as mono thereapy
metabolism of Isoniazid
acetylated by Nacetyl transferease
*chronic liver disease will decrease metabolism
normal half life 1-4 hours depending on acetylaiton status
(slow vs fast acetylators)
excretion of isoniazid
75% in the urine
can isoniazid reach therapeutic levels in the brain
yes, rapidly absorbed from GI (oral or IM) cna distributes to all tissues
Adverse effects of isoniazid
peripheral neuropathy
B6 depletions (competes with pyridoxal phosphate)
hepatotoxicity
allergic rxns )not dose rleated)
drug interactions
drugs with Al+ salts, give 1 hour prior to antacids
corticosteroids decrease efficacy
CYP inhibitors–> caution with phenytoin, diazepam, fluoxetine, nelfavir,
MOA for rifampin
inhibitio of RNA synthesis bind RNA pol beta subunit)
is rifampin cidal or static
cidal
resistance to RIFAMPIN
DNA dependent RNA polymerase does not bind drug, never given as mono therapy
spectrum of rifampin
intra or extracellular mycobacterium
name the rifamycins
rifampin, rifapentine, rifabutin *RIF is most common
Distribution of rifampin
well absorbed, distributes to tissues well, 75% bound to proteins+ CSF
absorption problems with rifampin
impaired by food of para-aminosalicylic acid
