distinguish between sulfonamide functional group and sulfonamide pharmacophore

why is this important for patient counseling 

sulfonamide functional group is different than antibiotic class

pharmacophore= minimum structure required to get any pharmacological activity 

patients who have sulfa allergy can't take certain drugs like chlorthalidone, HCTZ, lasix, Celebrex, tolbutamide, zonisamide 

100

why are tetracyclines good antibiotics 

how can you tell if an antibiotic is a tetracycline 


broad spectrum 

has 4 annulated 6 member rings

10 ; Tigecycline 

100

describe difference in gram -/+ cell wall

what is MOA of this group


gram- is more complex; it has extra layer of cell membrane and b-lactamase is produced in the periplasmic space

gram+ only has one big layer and b-lactamase is produced outside the cell and must be regenerated more often 

Penicillins stop the cell wall crosslinking NAG-NAM is not able to bind to another because penicillin looks like D-Ala-D-Ala-- this causes PBP to bind to penicillin instead of making the cross link and it is permanently inhibited-- cell wall is defective 


100

what is important about C7 in cephalosporins 

it needs to be a good leaving group 

100

which carbons are essential in the SAR for quinolones 

which Carbon is better if the R group is kept small 

3 and 4

2

200

what is the main mechanism of resistance a bacteria has against sulfonamides

make more PABA

200

describe a hyclate 

monohydochloride hemithanolate hemihydrate

HCL 1/2C2H5OH 1/2H2O

200

compare Pen G to Pen V


what is special about methicillin 

Pen V

-more acid stable=oral; similar spectrum, less potent; similar sensitivity to b-lactamase and allergenicity; longer D of A

methicillin contains a bulky r chain group that causes steric hindrance and shields the lactam from hydrolysis-- both ortho positions are filled= increased stability 


200

what happens if the double bond moves to the 3,4 spot instead of the normal 2,3

greatly reduced activity-- not in conjugation for leaving group 

200

at physiological pH what does a quinolone look like 

zwitterion-- has + and - charge

= neutrals 

300

If the pH of urine is < the pKa for a sulfonamide functional group, will the drug have good water solubility?

what are ways to help dissolve sulfonamides in urine?

no

1. increase fluids

2. raise urine pH

3. use sulfa drug with lower pKa value

4. mix sulfas to reach the total dose needed 

300

describe the MOA of tetracyclines


hinders translation when making proteins

binds to 30s subunit to stop anticodons from being able to join


300

describe characteristics of carbenicillin 

derivative of Pen G

very broad-- most broad of all 

large doses are not good for patients with cardiac issues because it comes as a salt -- sodium form 

300

what is the MOA for cephalosporins 

bactericidal 

similar to penicillins

bind to PBP

causes cell lysis 

300

what are side effects of fluroquinolones 

joint and bone degradation

photosensitivity 

400

what happens if a functional group is added to N4?

what happens if a functional group is added to N1?

for N1, can both H's be substituted?

N4 substitution results in activity loss-- unless pro drug

N1-- withdrawing group= more acidic= more activity

sulfone maintains activity

amide decreases activity

Both H's can't be substituted unless it is going to be a prodrug 

400

what C's can be changed and keep or increase activity

what happens if 11a is alkylated 

do you want a hydroxy group at C6?


5, 5a, 6, 7, 9

activity is abolished 

no-- makes more likely for degradation to occur

400

what are the degradation products of acid and base breakdown-- names 

Acid: penilloaldehyde & D-penicillamine

Base: penilloic acid

400

describe issues that can happen with tetrazolethiomethyl leaving group in cephalosporins 

good leaving group

-- causes hemorrhages-clots

-- makes it easier to become alcoholics 

400
what are the topoisomerases that are used in quinolones 

topo II= gram -

topo IV= +

500

Describe MOA for sulfonamide and trimethoprim

name enzyme

what does sulfonamide look like and how does it inhibit

is sulfamethoxazole or trimethoprim more potent 

Both drugs work to stop the pathway that makes folic acid

Folic acid is necessary pathway to make nucleic acids-- DNA and RNA

Sulfa= competitively inhibit dihydropteroate synthase by looking similar to PABA

Trimethoprim selectively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase-- selective for bacteria over human by 100,000X

Trimethoprim is more potent-- mixes are 5:1

500
what are the degradation products of tetracyclines


what can the acid degradation of tetracyclines cause if someone take out of data medicine

acid: 4-epitetracycline, anhydrotetracycline, anhydro-4-tetracycline

base: lactone

old medicine can cause a Fanconi like syndrome that hurts the kidneys 

500

how are acylureidopenicillins taken 

what are beta-lactamase inhibitors 

name the drug that is in combo with impenem and why there has to be another drug with it 

IM or IV 

drugs that are given to help with efficacy -- stop the breakdown of beta-lactamase which will stop b-lactams from being able to do their jobs

Cilastatin sodium goes with imipenem because imipenem is broken down by renal dehydrogenase 1-- cilastatin is an inhibitor of this enzyme  

500

when cephalosporins are metabolized what does it form?

is this active or inactive?

lactone is formed as leaving group

no longer looks like amino acid structure needed to bind to PBP

inactive

500

for gram negative bacteria what is the relationship between log P and uptake

for gram negative bacteria what is the relationship between log P and uptake  

inverse

direct
