Isoniazid 1.Antituberculous activity • Bacteriostatic & bactericidal for tubercle bacilli • Remarkably selective for mycobacteria • Resistance mutants occurs easily when given as the sole drug. • Be active against both extracelluar and intracellular tubercle bacilli. • Penetrating into phagocytes, Diffusing readily into all body fluid and tissues, including caseous material. 2.Mechanism of action • Inhibiting synthesis of mycolic acids – the essential components of mycobacterial cell walls. •The Bacterial Cell Wall Gram Positive Gram Negative Mycobacteria Peptidoglycan Cytoplasmic membrane Mycolate Porin Outer membrane proteins Acyl lipids LAM Isoniazid 3.ADME • Absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract readily. • Distributed widely in all body fluids and tissues. • Metabolism, especially acetylation by liver Nacetyltransferase, is genetically determined (slow acetylators,rapid acetylators, and middle acetylators). • Excreted mainly in the urine. Isoniazid 4.Clinical Uses • Combination with rifampicin or second-line agents, used for severe infections with M tuberculosis. • As a single agent, indicated for prevent and treatment of active tuberculosis of early stage. 5.Adverse reactions • Allergic reactions: rashes, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc. • Hepatotoxicity • Peripheral neuritis (slow acetylators, the structure of isoniazid is similar to that of pyridoxine, Vit B6) • CNS toxic effects • GI effects Rifampicin • • • • 1. Antibacterial activity Broad-spectrum Resistance mutants occurs easily, if used alone. Bactericidal for mycobacteria. Penetrates most tissues and into phagocytes. 2.Mechanism of action • Binding strongly to the b subunit of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA ploymerase • Inhibiting RNA synthesis. DNA template DNA template 3.Mechanism of resistance • Resistance results from one of several possible points in the gene for b subunit of RNA polymerase. These mutation prevent binding of rifampicin to RNA polymerase. Rifampicin 4.ADME • Absorbed well after oral administration. The absorption is attenuated by food and paraaminosalicylic (PAS). • Distributed widely, even in CSF when meninges is infectious. • Metabolized in liver by deactylation, and rifampicin is a enzyme inducer. • Excreted mainly through the liver into bile, then undergoes enterohepatic recirculation. Rifampicin 5. Clinical Uses • mycobacterial infections • other indications • • • • 6. Adverse reactions GI effects Cholestatic jaundice or hepatitis Hypersensitive reaction Causing a harmless orange color in urine, sweat, tear, and contact lenses. Ethambutol 1.Antimycobacterial actvity • Nearly all strain of M. tuberculosis are sensitive. • Be bactericidal to intercellular and extrecellular M. tuberculosis. • Ethambutol inhibits mycobacterial arabinosyl transferases, which are involved in the polymerization reaction of arabinoglycan, an essential component of the mycobacterial cell wall. • Resistance to ethambutol is due to mutations resulting in overexpression of mycobacterial arabinosyl transferases. 2.Clinical Uses • Treatment for tuberculosis of various forms when given concurrently with isoniazid. 3.Adverse reactions • Retrobulbar neuritis. • Hypersensitive reactions. • GI upset, rash, fever, headache, etc. Pyrazinamide • Bactericidal (in vitro a slightly acidic pH). • Well absorbed (p.o.), widely distributed. • Resistance for Pyrazinamide develops fairly readily, but there is no cross-resistance with other antituberculous drugs. • Adverse reactions hepatotoxicity, GI reactions, drug fever, and hyperuricemia (acute gouty arthritis). Streptomycin • The first effective drug to treat tuberculosis. • in treatment of life-threatening forms of tuberculosis, eg, meningitis and disseminated disease, and in treatment of infections resistant to other drugs. • Resistance to Streptomycin developed easily when it is used alone. • Given simultaneously to prevent emergence of resistance and toxic reaction. The principle for using antituberculous drugs • Treatment should be initiated with antituberculous drugs early. • Be initiated with combination antituberculous drugs . of • be continued for a long time (6-9 months). e.g. 2HRZ/4HR and 2SHRZ/4HRE 2. Antifungal agents Antifungal agents Onychomycosis Fungal infections traditionally have been divided to two distinct classes: systemic and superficial. So, the major antifungal agents are described with “systemic” and “topical”. Oral infection with Candida (Thrush) http://vasculitis.med.jhu.edu/treatments/cytoxan.html www.thachers.org/ internal_medicine.htm Classification of antifungal agents • Polyenes: Amphotercin B • Azoles: Ketoconazole, Fluconazol • Pyrimidine analogues: Flucytosine • Echinocandins: Caspofungin, micafungin, anidulafungin • Allylamine: Terbinafine Polyenes Amphotercin B • Broad-spectrum • Amphotericin B remains the drug of choice for all lifethreatening mycotic infections (It is often as the initial regimen). e.g. Cryptococcal meningitis; • local administration: mycotic corneal ulcers Amphotercin B Mechanism of action Adverse reactions: (1) fever, chill, hyperpnea, myalgia and hypotension, etc. (~75%) (2) nephrotoxicity: renal tubular acidosis and renal wasting K+ and Mg2+ (3) hematological Toxicity: hypochromic, normocytic anemia, etc. (4) hepatotoxicity, (5) cardiac toxicity, (6) CNS side effects (7) hypersensitive reaction Prevention of adverse reaction: (1) Pretreatment with oral acetaminophen or use of intravenous hydrocortisone hemisuccinate. (2) Supplemental K+ is required. (3) Do physical examination termly. (4) drug interactions New formulations of Amphotercin B : Flucytosine (5-FC) • a norrow-spectrum antifungal drug. • drug resistance occurs rapidly when flucytosine is used alone. • used predominantly in combination with amphotericin B for therapy of crypotococcal meningitis in AIDS patient, or with itraconazole for chromoblastomycosis. Adverse reactions: • depressing the function of bone marrow (leading to leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, etc.). • Plasma levels of hepatic enzymes are elevated (reversible). • rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Mechanism of action Azoles antifungal agents Imidazoles • ketoconazle • miconazole • clotrimazole Triazoles • fluconazole • Itraconazole • voriconazole Azoles antifungal agents Mechanism of action: • reduce ergosterol synthesis by inhibition of fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme Antifungal activity : • Systemically (ketoconazle, fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole) or topically (miconazole, clotrimazole). Azoles antifungal agents Ketoconazle : • the first oral azoles introduced into clinical use (systemically or topically). • less selective for fungal P450 • clinical use has been limited by endocrine side effects, liver toxicity and the drug interactions. • itraconazole or fluconazole has replaced ketoconazle for patients who can afford the more expensive, newer product. Itraconazole: • antifungal spectrum: broader than kotoconazole • side effects (interact with hepatic microsomal enzymes): less than kotoconazole. Azoles antifungal agents Fluconazole • good water solubility and good CSF penetration (high bioavailability). • drug interactions and side effects are also less because of its least effect on hepatic enzyme of all the azoles. • Be used in: (1) Candidiasis, (2) Cryptococcosis. Voriconazole • The newest triazole to be licensed • less mammalian P450 inhibition • Visual disturbance are common (30%) • Be used in: (1) candidiasis (2) aspergillosis Topical antifungal agents Polyenes : Nystatin: (topically used) Griseofulvin (systemic treatment) - Nucleoside analogue Allylamines: Terbinafine: oral formulation - squalene epoxidase inhibitor 3. Antiviral Drugs Antiviral Drugs 1. Characters of Virus Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites their replication depends primarily on synthetic processes of the host cell. Consequently, to be effective, antiviral agents must either block viralentry into or exit from the cell or be active inside the host cell. As a corollary, nonselective inhibitors of virus replication may interfere with host cell function and produce toxicity. 2.Classification of virus DNA virus RNA virus The major sites of antiviral drug action Four types of antiviral agents 1.
