SAMFORD UNIVERSITY GLOBAL DRUG INFORMATION SERVICE’S C L I PS CURRENT LITERATURE AND INFORMATION FOR PHARMACISTS® http://www.samford.edu/pharmacy/drug-information-center/ Volume 19 (Issue 5) February 9, 2015 PLEIOTROPIC EFFECTS OF ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS Although unintended effects of antimicrobial agents occur, some effects may produce therapeutic advantages. Many anti-infective agents have effects that stem beyond their anti-infectiveness. These advantages include anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. The other therapeutic advantages of antibacterial agents are not approved for use by the (Food and Drug Administration) FDA. However, the risk:benefit profile for using these agents must clearly be defined. A critical review of the beneficial non-antiinfective effects of antimicrobial agents (e.g., macrolides, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, and ketoconazole) was evaluated.

Non-anti-infective effects of antimicrobials and their clinical applications: a review: Mayo Clin Proc. 2015;90(1):109-127. Methods Comprehensive PubMed search between January 1, 2000 and April 25, 2014 was conducted. Bibliographic searches were also used in data analysis. Results Table 1: Non-antiinfective effects of antimicrobial agents DRUG / CLASS MECHANISM OF ADVERSE EFFECTS PLEIOTROPIC EFFECTS ACCEPTED USE ACTION (LONG-TERM USE) Cystic Fibrosis-may reduce Macrolides Bacteriostatic Long term use: Anti-inflammatory, polyketide Nausea, vomiting, immunomodulatory exacerbations; may be used in patients with Pseudomonas abdominal pain, drug- effects; inhibit aeruginosa (azithromycin dose: drug interactions; QTc proinflammatory prolongation, cytokines, decrease 500 mg three twice a week [or resistance mucus daily] in patients who weighed at hypersecretion least 40 kg, and 250 mg three times a week [or daily] for patients who weighed less than 40 kg.

Many of the ways in which these antimicrobials are used are not FDA approved. Dosages for unapproved uses are largely unknown. The recommendation to use these agents will be dependent upon an acceptable risk:benefit profile that minimizes adverse events and toxicities. 2 Prepared by: Maisha Kelly Freeman, PharmD, MS, BCPS, FASCP Pleiotropic effects of antimicrobial agents.
