Penicillin
1. Nucleus: thiazolidine ring / ß-lactam ring / side chain
2. ß-lactamase from S. aureus to hydrolysis ß-lactam ring
3. Inhibit cell wall / peptidoglycan => Gm(+) vs Gm(-) 50~100 vs 1~2 molecules
4. PBP (penicillin-binding protein): trans-peptidation / carboxy-peptidation & inhibited by ß-lactam antibiotics
Bacterial resistance
Mechanism: (1) destruction by ß-lactamase
(2) failure to penetrate outer membrane
of GNB to reach PBP
(3) GNB outer membrane efflux drug
(4) binding affinity decreased to PBP
Untoward reactions
Hypersensitivity reactions: 1. Range from rash to anaphylaxis and act as ha
pten to combine with protein
2. Penicillin allergy: (1) major determinant: penicilloyl and
penicillanic acid derivative (2) minor determinant: benzyl penicillin, Na benzyl penicilloate
3. Mediated by IgE and minor determinant are major cause of anaphylactic reactions
Cephalosporin
1. 1945 discovery => 1964 cephalothin => >20 available (from cephalosporin C)
2. Broad spectrum, low toxicity, easy used, favored PK profile
3. Cephem nucleus: ß-lactam ring fued c 6-member dihyfrothiazine ring (S)
Classification
Related to microbiologic & pharmacologic differences:
1st: focus on Gm(+) 2nd: varying on Gm(+) & enhanced on GNB; ceph
amycin => against anaerobic bacteria, as B. fragilis
3rd: marked increased on GNB, but GPC decreased & ceftazidime for P. aeruginosa
4th: active against GNB (P. aeruginosa) & GPC => 3 / 4 so-called extended spectrum cephalospori
ns / ESBL or ampC
1. ß-lactamase destruction (1) staphylococci: reduced by binding affinity to BPB
decreased (2) GNB: type / amount vary and antibiotic degrade
d at periplasmic space 2. Reduce penetration of antibiotic through membrane
to PBP: through porin depend on size, shape, charge & hydrophilic
3. Increased efflux from periplasmic space: higher permeability in E. coli than P. aeruginosa (due to AcrAB efflux system)
4. Alteration PBP to reduce binding affinity: S. pneumoniae, MRSA, H. influenzae, N. gonorrhea
Mechanism of resistance
Adverse reactions and toxicities
1. Hypersensitivity reactions: most common, but less than penicillin; associated c cutaneous rash, eosinophilia, fever & infrequently c serum sickness, anaphylaxis, angioedema
2. Hematologic reaction: eosinophilia, cytopenia (WBC, pl & RBC)
3. GI tract: diarrhea, obstructive biliary toxicity (ceftriaxone)
4. Others: seizure, local phlebitis, pain IIM), superinfection or overgrowth of Candida spp. / Cl. difficle
Aminoglycosides
1. 1940 one part of As, belongs to conc-dependent bactericidal activity
2. Active for P. aeruginosa, mycobacteria, protozoan, N. gonorrhea
3. Potential of toxicity: nephro, oto-toxicity & neuro-muscular blockade
4. Resistant decreased by known mechanism, new dosage strategies, avoid risk factors, shorter course
Mechanism of resistance
1. Intrinsic:
(1) enzyme: active electron transport
chain => anaerobic bacterail to AG
(2) non-enzyme: mutations at 16S rRNA
=> M. tuberculosis (SM), M.
abscessus, M. chelonae (amikacin)
2. acquired: combined of
(1) decreased drug intake
(2) efflux pump activity
(3) enzyme modification
3. Exposure to AG can select 2 types of
drug-resistant subpopulations
(1) activattion of Mex XY efflux pump
(2) phenomen of adaptive resistance =>
clinical tx failure
4. Enzymatic modification:
(1) amino group => modified by N-acetyl-
transferase (AAC)
(2) hydroxyl group => modified by O-
nucleotidy-transferase (ANT) or O-
phospho-transferase (APH)
(3) modofied drug bind poorly to
ribosomes => high level of resistance
Toxicity
1. Other than spectinomycin, AG had the potential injury to renal PCT, damage to cochlea / vestibular apparatus & neuro-muscular blockade
2. Untoward effects (rare): hypersensitivity reactions, inflammation, phlebitis, pain while injection (IM), no irritation on cavity injection, hepatoxicity or photosensitivity
Once-daily dosing regimens
1. Total daily dosage could achieve targeted peak serum conc. for a given level of renal function
2. When renal function impaired, total daily dose may be reduced or dosage interval prolonged
Glycopeptides & lipopeptides
1. vancomycin: (1) 1950 soil & tx for PCN-R S .aureus => replac
e by methicillin / cephalosporin due to toxicity => 1980 steady increased of R strain after large use
(2) inhibition of cell wall: block trans-glycosylation by binding to D-ALA-D-ALA terminal of pentapeptide c stable complex => could not processed by glycosyl-transferase & interrupt cooperation of murein monmers into growing peptidoglycans => interrupt of cell wall synthesis
Antimicrobial activity
Broad spectrum of activity against of Gm(+):
(1) staphylococci: S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. sapr
ophyticus, S. haemolyticus, S. hominis
(2) enterococci: E. faecalis, E. faecium
(3) streptococci: S. pneumoniae, GAS, GCS, GGS, S.
bovis, viridans group
(4) L. monocytogenes
(5) Gm(+) anaerobes: Peptostreptococci, Actinomyces, Propionibacterium, Clostridium spp
Adverse effects 1. Recommendation for a serum target level <40~50μg/m
L for ototoxicity (vertigo / tinnitus): rare; but augmentation by AG co-administration
2. Synergisitc nephrotoxic effect by vancomycin & AG: 14~20%
3. Infusion-related reactions: most; red-neck or red-man Sx => rash or pruritus over head, face, neck, upper trunk +/- hypotension, angioedema; 3.4~11.2% & histamin release from basophil / mast cell
4. Neutropenia: 1~2% after long-term use (>6.2 months) and suggest monitor WBC 2 weeks later
5. Pregnancy C: safe during 2nd / 3rd trimesters 6. Treatment of C. difficile- related diarrhea by vancomyci
n => might induce C. difficle colitis also
Clinical uses
1. Endocarditis: drug choice for MRSA (4~6 weeks); plus GM or RIF for native valve type
2. Meningitis / ventriculitis: combined c 3 cefa (cefotaxime / ceftriaxone) for pneumococcal meningitis
3. Osteomyelitis: 4~6 weeks plus complete surgical debridement for successful outcome
4. Pseudomembraneous colitis: 7~10D oral vancomycin for C. difficle / S. aureus related colitis
5. Febrile neutropenia: controversial 6. Prophylaxis: for endocarditis while GU / GI pro
cedure on cardiac dz
Quinolones
1. 1962 nalidixic acid => 1970s oxolinic acid & cinoxacin => 1980s FQ derivative
2. Broad spectrum of activity, good oral absorption, good tolerability
3. Temafloxacin, sparfloxacin, grepfloxacin, trovafloxacin removed from market due to toxicity
4. 4. mechanism of action: work on DNA gyrase (gyrA / B) & topo-isomerase IV (parC / E)
