Anti-TB Drugs
(Anti-TB) drugs
Tuberculosis or pulmonary tuberculosis is caused by
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis( MTB)
CLASSIFICATION OF DRUGS
: base on their efficacies and toxicities
First-line drugs: Good efficacy, cheap, less
toxicity and being well tolerated to patients
(PRIEST) P-pyrazinamide,R-Rifampicin, I-
Isoniazide,E-ethambutol,S-Streptomycin
. Second-line drugs:less efficacy,More
toxicity,veryexpensive, Difficult for patient to tolerate
Please TAKE Carbon Copy
P-PAS ( P-aminosalicylicacid) ,T-thioacetazone,A-
Amikacin,K-Kanamycin,E-ethionamide, C-
Cyclserine, C-Capreomycin
Antibiotics used In TB
a) Aminoglycosides—
Streptomycin,Kanamycin,Amikacin
b) Macrolides-RACE
D) Fluroquinolones( FQ)-Ciprofloxacin
Based on mechanism of action
1.Mycobacterium Cell wall synthesis blockers
Mycolic acid synthesis blocker-Isoniazide,Pyrazinamide
Arabinogalan synthesis blocker-Ethambutol
Peptidoglycan synthesis blocker- Cycloserine
2.Drugs inhibiting protein synthesis
a) By blocking 30 s ribsome- Aminoglycosides
b) By blocking 50 s ribosome- Macrolides
D-alanine
Cycloserine
D-alanine lygase
D-alanyl-D-alanine
2.Drugs inhibiting protein synthesis
A) AMINOGLYCOSIDES- STREPTOMYCIN
Aminoglycoside - Inhibits protein synthesis by
blocking to 30 S ribosome subunit
Bactericidal 5 NOS- 1) No To pregnacy woman
2) No protein synthesis
3) Not orally( IM)
Effective against Aerobic 4) NO- negative-organisaM
5) NO-
nephrotoxicty ,Ototoxicity
2.Drugs inhibiting protein synthesis
B)MACROLIDES-RACE
Macrolides - Inhibits protein synthesis by blocking
to 50 S ribsome subunit
Bactreostatic
RACE- Roxithromycin, Azithromycin,
Clarithromycin,Erythromycin
3.Drug inhibiting Nucleic acid synthesis
Mechanism
PAS inhibits DHFR ( dihydrofolate reductase )
there by inhibits synthesis of folic acid
4. P-aminosalicylic acid- DHFR blocker
PAS
Clotimaxozle- sulfamethoxazole+
trimethoprim
