Anti-Metabolites: Anti-Folates
Two Classes—
Inhibitors of folate synthesis
– p-Aminobenzoic acid analogs
(PABA)
Inhibitors of folate use
– dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors
• Trimethoprim – bacterial
• Pyrimethamine – protozoa
• Methotrexate - mammalian
Mechanism
• PABA analogs
Sulfonamides
•
Enter into a normal metabolic pathway, but then block that pathway
•
Competitive inhibitor of dihydropteroate synthase
•
Bacteriostatic
Pharmacokinetics
• Oral, some topical (burns), rarely IV
•
Well absorbed from GI, high PPB, well distributed including to CNS
•
Variable metabolism, depending on drug and patient
•
Acetylation yields inactive metabolite (less water soluble)→ Crystalluria
•
Excreted in urine (90% by glomerular filtration)
•
10-20x blood concentration in urine
Sulfonamides: Clinical Aspects
Clinical Use-• Topical for burns--Silver sulfadiazine
•
Ophthalmic preparations – Sodium sulfacetamide
•
Urinary Tract Infections-- Uncomplicated, untreated, acute
•
Ulcerative colitis-- Sulfasalazine, Mesalamine
– Not absorbed-- split by gut bacteria reductase to release 5-aminosalicylate
•
Sulfonamides now are seldom used as single agents-- combine with
trimethoprim
Sulfonamide alone is almost never used as an antibiotic
Adverse Effects-• Allergic reactions-- fever, rash, etc.
– Up to 5% incidence
– Cross-reactivity with other sulfonamides-- carbonic anhydrase
inhibitors, thiazides, furosemide, sulfonylurea hypoglycemics
– Crystalluria
Sulfonamides: Clinical Aspects
Adverse Effects–
•
Stevens-Johnson syndrome—(Type IV)
– Fever, malaise, . . .
– Rare, but can be fatal
•
Hematopoietic effects
•
Hemolytic anemias-- G6PDH deficiency
Drug Interactions
Kernicterus in newborns
Resistance-• Mutations causing overproduction of PABA
•
Loss of permeability
•
New form of dihydropteroate synthetase-discriminates between PABA and
sulfonamide
Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibitors
• Trimethoprim-- blocks bacterial enzyme
• Pyrimethamine-- protozoan enzyme
• Methotrexate-- mammalian enzyme
Trimethoprim-• Readily absorbed from GI
• Wide distribution, including CNS
• Excreted in urine
• Can be used alone for UTI, but usually combined with a
sulfonamide
Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (Cotrimoxazole)
•
•
•
•
Combination is often bactericidal
DOC in Nocardia
Mycobacteria
Gm-ve Infections
(E.Coli, Salmonella,Shihella)
• Gm+ve Infections
Note: Pneumocystis jiroveci used
( Staph, Strepto, H. Influenzae )to be called Pneumocystis carinii (PCP)
Fungus: Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP)-both
for prophylaxis (when CD4 count <200) & treatment in HIV
infection.
• Protozoa : Toxoplasma Gondii (Sulfadiazine +
Pyrimethamine) both for prophylaxis (when CD4 count
<200) & treatment in HIV infection & in T of STORCH
infection.
Adverse Effects of Trimethoprim
Trimethoprim is 10,000x more effective against bacterial
DHFR than against the mammalian enzyme, but still may
see "anti-folate" effects
• Megaloblastic anemia, leukopenia, granulocytopenia
• Treat with folinic acid
Co-trimoxazole-- Add typical sulfonamide effects
• AIDS patients with Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)
receiving Co-trimoxazole-– Much higher incidence of adverse effects
– Fever, rashes, leukopenia, diarrhea
E. DNA gyrase inhibitors

•
•
•
Prototype quinolone antibiotic
Inhibits DNA replication
[by inhibiting DNA gyrase (Topoisomerase II)& IV]
Pharmacokinetics
– Oral administration
– Rapidly absorbed, metabolized (Glucuronidated)
and excreted in urine
Fluoroquinolones-–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Norfloxacin
Ciprofloxacin
Ofloxacin
Levofloxacin
Gatifloxacin
Moxifloxacin
Gemifoxacin
Note: -floxacin ending
•
Fluorinated analogues of nalidixic acid
•
Pharmacokinetics
– Well absorbed and distributed after oral administration (Iron,Calcium limit
absorption )
– Only 20% is metabolized (liver)
– Excreted in urine, blocked by probenecid
– Effective systemically after oral dose, parenteral forms also available
Fluoroquinolones
• Example 1st Generation: norfloxacin; activity against
common pathogens that cause urinary tract infections;
similar to nalidixic acid
• Examples of 2nd Generation: ciprofloxacin,
ofloxacin; excellent activity against gram-negative
bacteria, including gonococcus, Chlamydia, many grampositive cocci, mycobacteria, and Mycoplasma
pneumoniae
• Examples of 3rd Generation: levofloxacin,
gatifloxacin; less activity against gram-negative bacteria
but greater activity against some gram-positive cocci,
such as S. pneumoniae, entercocci, and MRSA; good for
many drug-resistant respiratory tract infections
• Examples of 4th Generation: moxifloxacin,
Gemifloxacin; broadest spectrum fluoroquinolones with
good activity against anaerobes
Activity & Clinical Uses
-UTIs particularly when resistant to Cotrimoxazole
-STDs/PIDs:Chlamydia (Ofloxacin), Gonorrhea
(Cipro,Ofloxacin)
-Skin, soft tissue & bone infection by gm-ve organisms
(all except norfloxacin)
-Diarrhea due to Shigella ,Salmonella, E.coli,
Campylobacter (any quinolone)

Fluoroquinolones
Adverse Effects-• Nausea and vomiting
•
Phototoxicity & rashes (other drugs?)
•

Headaches, dizziness, insomnia
•
Abnormal liver function tests
•
Blocks theophylline clearance-- cannot be co-administered
•
Connective tissue disorders including tendonitis or tendon rapture (in adults),
myalgia & leg cramps (in children)
– Do not use during pregnancy or in children (Fluorine is the culprit )
Resistance-• Altered (mutated) DNA gyrase
•
Especially Pseudomonas, Staph, Serratia
•
No longer recommended for gonococcus because of resistance
• Discuss about the rationality of long term
use of fluoroquinolones in children , adults
or in pregnancy.
F. Urinary tract antiseptics
NITROFURANTOIN
SYSTEMIC AGENTS
Urinary Tract Antiseptics
• Use systemic agents, which are efficiently cleared in the
urine:
– Penicillins
– Aminoglycosides
– Sulfonamides
• Resistance and re-infection are common
• May need to suppress bacteria for a long time
• Common UTI bugs are
E.Coli(m/c), staphylococcus saprophyticus ,enterobacter
cloacae, proteus mirabilis,klebsiella pneumonae,
pseudomonus aeruginosa and serriatia .
Nitrofurantoin
Mechanism
• Unknown, but may involve oxidative stress
• Bacteriostatic or bactericidal (depends on microbe)
Pharmacokinetics-• Rapidly absorbed (oral), metabolized , and excreted in urine (50% as active
drug)
• Even IV nitrofurantoin does not have a systemic effect
Clinical Use-• UTI, gram positive or gram negative microbes
• Most effective if urine pH < 5.5
Adverse Effects-• Anorexia, GI disturbances common, headaches
• Occasional hemolytic anemia (oxidative) especially if G6PDH deficient,
leukopenia, hepatotoxicity
• In renal insufficiency, see systemic toxicity
Resistance-• All Pseudomonas, some Proteus are resistant
