ANTIBIOTICS: By: Prof Avijit Mazumder DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Objectives: What are antibiotics? What are the various classes and their mode of action? Why is resistance developing to antibiotics? Is this a problem? What role can the pharmaceutical scientists play in regard to this problem? DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Penicillins • First antibiotic to be used in 1941 • Originally isolated from Pc notatum Low toxicity • Effective derivatives created from manipulating drug’s basic molecular structure • Kills bacteria by preventing them from forming the rigid cell wall • Because human cells do not have cell walls, they are not affected DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
MODE OF ACTION: NAM NAG NAM NAG L-Ala L-Ala D-Glu D-Glu L-Lys L-Lys GLY 5 D-Ala D-Ala D-Ala DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI D-Ala D-Ala
Drug List Penicillins • amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox) • amoxicillin-clavulanate (Augmentin) • ampicillin (Principen) • ampicillin-sulbactam (Unasyn) • carbenicillin (Geocillin) DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Drug List Penicillins • dicloxacillin • oxacillin • penicillin G (various) • penicillin V (Veetids) • piperacillin DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Drug List Penicillins • piperacillin-tazobactam (Zosyn) • ticarcillin (Ticar) • ticarcillin-clavulanate (Timentin) DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Therapeutic Uses of Penicillins • Beta-hemolytic streptococcus • Meningitis • Otitis media • Pneumonia • Respiratory infections • Tooth and gum infections • Venereal diseases (syphilis and gonorrhea) • Endocarditis due to streptococci DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Penicillins’ Side Effects • Diarrhea • Allergies in 7% to 10% of population DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Penicillins’ Dispensing Issues • Take on an empty stomach • Food slows absorption • Acids in fruit juices or colas could deactivate the drug DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Penicillin Resistance • Penicillinase-resistant penicillins work against gram-positive aerobes • Extended-spectrum penicillins are more resistant to gram-negative bacteria • Penicillin combinations improve effect DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Classification of newer penicillins • Acid Resistant Penicillins: Phenoxymethyl Pc. • Penicillinase resistant Penicillins: Methicillin, Cloxacillin • Extended Spectrum Penicillins: Ampicillin, Mezlocillin, Ticarcillin, Piperacillin • Β lactamase inhibitors: Clavulanic acid Salbactum DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
BETA LACTAMASE INHIBITORS • Clavulanic acid : Obtained from Streptomyces clavuligerus, it has a beta lactum ring but no antibacterial activity. • Addition of clavulanic acid reestablishes the activity of amoxicillin against beta lactamase producing acid resistant S.aureus, E.coli, Proteus, Salmonella that are not responsive to amoxicillin alone. DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Cephalosporins • Have a mechanism of action similar to penicillins • A person allergic to penicillin, about 10% chance of being allergic DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Cephalosporins Alert the Pharmacist if a patient allergic to penicillins is receiving a cephalosporin prescription. Warning! DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Cephalosporins • First-generation • Similar to penicillinase-resistant penicillins with greater gram-negative coverage • Used for • community-acquired infections • mild to moderate infections DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Cephalosporins • Second-generation • Increased activity, especially against Haemophilus influenzae • Used for Respiratory infections • UTIs DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Cephalosporins • Third-generation • Active against a wide spectrum of gram-negative organisms • Long half-life, so once-a-day dosing for some • Used for • Ambulatory patients • Children DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Cephalosporins • Fourth-generation • Active against a wide spectrum of gram-negative organisms • Long half-life, so once-a-day dosing for some. • Highly resistant to beta lactamases and so widely used against hospital acquired serious infections • Eg: Cefepime DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Cephalosporins Side Effects • Share side effects of penicillin • Few may initiate unique toxic reactions • Lower frequency of toxicity than many other antibiotics DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Cephalosporins All of the cephalosporins look alike when written in the generic form. Watch for dosing and indications for use. Warning! DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Drug List Cephalosporins • cefaclor (Ceclor) • cefadroxil (Duricef) • cefazolin (Ancef) • cefdinir (Omnicef) • cefditoren (Spectracef) • cefepime (Maxipime) DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Drug List Cephalosporins • cefotaxime (Claforan) • cefotetan (Cefotan) • cefoxitin (Mefoxin) • cefpodoxime (Vantin) • cefprozil (Cefzil) • ceftazidime (Fortaz) • ceftibuten (Cedax) DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Drug List Cephalosporins • ceftizoxime (Cefizox) • ceftriaxone (Rocephin) • cefuroxime (Ceftin, Zinacef) • cephalexin (Keflex) • cephradine (Velosef) DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
USES OF CEPHALOSPORINS • Alternative to Pc G particularly in allergic patients • Respiratory tract infections caused by gram negetive spp • Penicillinase resistant staphylococal infection • Septicaemias caused by gram negetive organism: aminoglycosides+ cephalosporins • Surgical prophylaxis: First generation cephalosporins eg cefazolin(im) is employed in all surgery. • Meningitis: Pyogenic meningitis require bactericidal activity in CSF pref with Ab at sev times higher conc than MBC • Hospital acquired infection DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Aminoglycosides • Treat serious infections • Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to ribosomal subunits DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Aminoglycosides • Less frequent dosing may help reduce toxicity • Less drug accumulates in the kidney and ear • Simplified drug monitoring • Levels should be checked prior to administration of second dose to confirm drug elimination DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Aminoglycosides’ Side Effects • Nephrotoxicity, destructive to kidney • Ototoxicity • Permanent deafness • Equilibrium problems DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Drug List Aminoglycosides • amikacin • gentamicin (Garamycin, Genoptic) • kanamycin (Kantrex) • neomycin (Myciguent, Neo-Fradin) • streptomycin (none) • tobramycin (Nebcin) DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
Tetracyclines • Broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotics • Inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to ribosomes • Suppress the infection and require phagocytes to complete the eradication of the bacteria DR AVIJIT MAZUMDER, SPTM,NMIMS UNIVERSITY, MUMBAI
