Q

Conazole

MOA

A
  • Block synthesis at a later step than Allylamines

Q

Liposomal targeting of Fungal cell wall?

Selectivity

Role of Liposomes

Toxicities of AmBisome?

A
  • Mammalian have no cell wall
  • Attracts to the fungal cell wall - targeting agent
  • This makes the drug less nephrotoxic because there is less interaction, renal toxicity can still be seen

Q

Echinocandins MOA?

A

Interferes with the synthesis of the fungal cell wall

blocks 1,3-B-glucan synthase that converts UDP-glucose to B-D glucan

Ruptures the cell wall

A
  • Narrow spectrum
  • Candidal infections that are resistant to azoles
  • Apergillus infections
  • Less common
    • Esophageal candidiasis
    • Prophylactically in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant

Q

Echinocandins resistance?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Mutation of synthase and/or upregulation of other cell wall components.
20
Q

Mechanism of action of PZN

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Mechanism of action of pyrazinamide (PZA). PZA enters the bacilli by passive diffusion and is then converted by the nicotinamidase PncA into pyrazinoic acid (POA). POA exits the cell by passive diffusion, as well as by an efflux mechanism, which is not yet well characterized. In their revised mechanism, Zhang and co‐workers show that POA binds RpsA and blocks trans‐translation. Note: for simplicity, only the inner membrane of the mycobacterial cell envelope is depicted.
21
Q

INH is a ____ that gets converted by ____ then it can inhibit ___

Resistance is common with?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Prodrug that eventually gets coverted by KatG then it can inhibit INHa
  • Mutations in both of these sites pose problems
22
Q

What are the echinocandins

Study These Flashcards
A

Caspofungin, Anidulafungin, Micafungin

They are all very similar dont need to know specifics within class

23
Q

Allylamines?
What do they do?

Cidal or static?

What is their problem?

Study These Flashcards
A

Inhibit the conversion of squalene to squalene epoxide

Step in Sterol biosynthesis

Effectively block downstream conversion of lanosterol and ergosterol–> Malfunction

Static or cidal depends on the species

Causes build up of squalene

  1. Membrane tension, faulty membrane
  2. Build up of squalene

Problem very greasy not good systemically and first pass is an issue.

Not orally available mostly topical use

24
Q

WHat are the Non-Allylamines squalene epoxidase inhibitors?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Butenafine - Broader spectrum
  • Tolnaftate - Non-prescription preparations for decades.
  • Topically used greasy
25
Isoniazide (INH) DMPK: Administration? Distributes on an empty? Toxicity? MOA? Resistance?
26
Conazole Resistance and Main interaction with drugs and P450?
* Target modification and efflux - This whole thing occurs much more slowly than bacteria * Interaction with Heme of P450 and Azole nitrogen lone pair.
27
Coverage of conazoles Yeast (Candida) Mold (Asperigillus, Fusarium, Zygomycetes)
* Yeast all- Fluconazole, Itraconazole, Voriconazole, Posaconazole) * Asperigillus- Itra, Vori, Posa * Fusarium- Vori and Posa * Zygo- Posa
28
How resistant is Restistant TB? TB MDR TB Definition and second line XDR TB
29
Amphotericin B Solubility? What is it? Preparation?
Polyene macrolide no bacteria effect Amphoteric: Acidic carboxyl nd basic primary amino functional groups Poor water solubility Prep using emulsifying agents and liposomes
30
Clinical properties of Rifampin Usage Prophylactic usage? Toxicities? Interactions?
31
Name the Allylamines?
Naftifine Terbinafine (topical and pill)- One example of one that can be used systemically
32
What are the broad spectrum conazoles?
Vori, Isavu, Posa
33
What is the general trend with conazoles in terms of spectrum?
Spectrum increases as you go from: * Fluconazole (No molds) * Itraconazole * Voriconazole * Isavuconazole * Posaconazole (Broad and best)
34
Second line and alternative therapies for TB
* Unique second line * Ethionamide, Cycloserine, PAS, Capremycin, Bedquiline * Antibiotic classes already discussed * FQs (levo, oflo, Moxi) * AGs (kanamycin, amikacin, streptomycin) * COmbo therapy needs (INH, Pyrazinamide, ethambutol)
35
Difference between Human and Fungal cells
Sterol they have ergosterol instead of cholesterol
36
Rifabutin and Rifaximin? \_\_\_ Macrolides? Treatment of? Rifaximin absorption admin, treats, alternative for?
37
Standard TB Tx TB exists in 3 portions: Six month treatment (\_\_\_) 7 points Rationale for Therapeutic Combos Multiple Targets? Resistance Toxicities
* At cell wall mycolic acid and arabanogalactan layer, transcription and translation * High levels of resistance 3 to 4 durgs to overcome this * Puts stress on the liver
38
TB drugs in development
39
Ethambutol Only used for? Static or Cidal? MOA? Resistance? DMPK? Major Toxicity?
40
Properties of Rifampin? DMPK Metabolism Excretion?
41
Conazoles What do they do?
Ergosterol biosynth inhibitors Azole group think inhbition of CYP450s
42
Schematic Diagram of Mycobacterial Cell wall Or at least the parts that are targeted for TB 8 parts
43
Antifungal coverage chart
44
Conazole P450 interactions 3 points to know? Mechanism of Human P450 interactions?
* All have 3A4 * Voriconazole has the most * Isavu and Posa have the fewest
45
Fungin Coverage?
* Good with yeast but variable efficacy with everything else
