Protein SynthesisInhibitors
Claro M. Isidro M.D.
Protein Synthesis
Stages of Protein Synthesis1. Initiation - involves formation of an initiation
complex that contains mRNA, both subunits of ribosomes and the first aminoacyl-tRNA (formyl-methionyl tRNA)
2. Elongation - includes synthesis of the first peptide bond to addition of the last amino acid. Also involved Peptide bond formation - polypeptide is transferred from
peptidyl-tRNA in the P site to aminoacyl-tRNA in the A site
Translocation - moves ribosome one codon; places peptidyl-tRNA in the P site; deacylated tRNA leaves via the E site; A site is empty for next aa-tRNA
Summary
3. Termination – encompasses the release of the completed polypeptide chain and dissociation of the ribosome from the mRNA.

I. AMINOGLYCOSIDES
Antimicrobial Spectrum:• Gram (-) Aerobic Bacilli• Beta-lactamase producers: Staph. aureus N. gonorrhea• Mycobacteria
I. AMINOGLYCOSIDES
Mechanism of Action:interferes with initiation complex of
peptide formationinduces misreading of mRNA causing
incorporation of incorrect AAcauses breakup of polysomes into
nonfunctional monosomesRequire oxygen uptake, therefore
ineffective against anaerobes.Bactericidal
I. AMINOGLYCOSIDES
Microbial Resistance:•enzyme inactivation•Cell surface alteration•receptor protein alteration•oxygen requirement related
I. AMINOGLYCOSIDES
Kinetics:• Very poorly absorbed from intact GIT,
well absorbed thru IM, IV• They are highly polar compounds that
do not enter the cells readilly, poorly penetrate the BBB
• not significantly metabolized• primarily excreted unchanged through
GF
I. AMINOGLYCOSIDESClinical Uses:• severe gram (-) enteric bacteria
especially when there is suspicion of sepsis
• always used in combination with a beta-lactam antibiotic to extend coverage to include potential gram (+) pathogens
• Penicillin aminoglycoside combinations also are used to achieve bactericidal activity in treatment of enterococcal endocarditis and to shorten duration of therapy for viridans streptococcal and staphylococcal endocarditis
• Mycobacterial infections
I. AMINOGLYCOSIDES
Toxicity:• Ototoxicity (esp. with loop diuretics)
– Auditory damage – Neomycin, Kanamycin and Amikacin
– Vestibular damage- Streptomycin, Gentamicin
• Nephrotoxicity (esp. with vancomycin & amphotericin)
• Neomycin, Tobramycin, Gentamicin - most nephrotoxic
STREPTOMYCIN• ribosomal resistance to this agent develops readily,
limiting its role as a single agent• Mainly used as 2nd line agent for the treatment of
tuberculosis given at 0.5-1 g/d , IM or IV.• usually given in drug combination to prevent emergence
of resistance.• In plague, tularemia and sometimes brucellosis, 1 g/d (15
mg/kg/d for children) IM or IV + oral tetracycline is used• + Penicillin; effective for enterococcal endocarditis and 2
week therapy of viridans streptococcal endocarditis.• can cause pain at the injection site, fever, skin rashes and
other allergic reactions • most serious toxic effect is vestibular dysfunction• if given during pregnancy, can cause deafness in the
newborn
GENTAMICIN
• in severe infections (sepsis and pneumonia) caused by gram (-) bacteria that are likely resistant to other drug, used in combination with a cephalosporin or a penicillin
• given at 5-6 mg/kg/d IV in three equal doses
• + Penicillin G for bactericidal activity in endocarditis due to viridans streptococci or enterococci and in combination with Nafcillin in selected cases of staphylococcal endocarditis
Gentamicin• Neither gentamicin nor any other
aminoglycosides should be used for single agent therapy of pneumonia because penetration of infected lung tissue is poor and local condition of low pH and low oxygen contribute to poor activity
• Serum concentrations and renal function should be monitored if administration for more than a few days or if renal function is changing
GENTAMICIN• Gentamicin sulfate 0.1% - 0.3% cream,
ointment – for the treatment of infected burns, wounds, or skin lesions and the prevention of intravenous catheter infections.
• Topical gentamicin is partly inactivated by purulent exudates
• Ten milligrams can be injected subconjunctivally for treatment of ocular infections
• Nephrotoxicity is reversible and usually mild• Ototoxicity is Irreversible manifested as
vestibular dysfunction• hypersensitivity reactions are uncommon
TOBRAMYCIN
• Antimicrobrial spectrum and pharmacokinetic properties is identical to gentamicin
• Given at 5-6 mg/kg IM or IV into three equal amounts q 8 hours.
• Blood levels should be monitored in renal insufficiency
• Slightly more active against pseudomonas but not to E. faecium
• Ototoxic and nephrotoxic
AMIKACIN
• semisynthetic derivative of kanamycin• resistant to many inactivating enzymes• Strains of multiple drug resistant
tuberculosis, including Streptomycin resistant are usually susceptible
• given at 7.5 -15mg/kg/d as a once-daily or 2-3x weekly
• Serum concentrations should be monitored
• Nephrotoxic and ototoxic (auditory portion of CN VIII)
NETILMICIN
• shares many characteristics with gentamicin and tobramycin
• dosage and the routes of administration are the same
• completely therapeutically interchangeable with gentamicin or tobramycin and has similar toxicities
KANAMYCIN & NEOMYCIN• Paromomycin• Used for bowel preparation for elective surgery• Complete cross-resistance between kanamycin and
neomycin• Not significantly absorbed from the GIT; excretion of
any absorbed drug is mainly through GF into the urine• Too toxic for parenteral use, now limited to topical and
oral use• Solutions 1-5 mg/ml- used applied on infected surfaces
or injected into joints, pleural cavity, tissue spaces or abscess cavities where infection is present. ( 15 mg/kg/d)
• Ointments (Neomycin-Polymyxin-Bacitracin combination); applied to infected skin lesions or in the nares for suppression of staphylococci
KANAMYCIN & NEOMYCIN• In preparation for elective bowel surgery, 1 g of
Neomycin given orally q 6-8 hours + 1 g of erythromycin base
• Paromomycin, 1 g q 6 hours orally for 2 weeks is effective in intestinal amebiasis
• Nephrotoxic and ototoxic ( Auditory dysfunction)• Sudden absorption of postoperatively instilled
kanamycin from the peritoneal cavity (3-5 g) has resulted in curare-like neuromuscular blockade and respiratory arrest (Calcium gluconate and neostigmine can act as antidotes)
• Prolonged application to skin and eyes-severe allergic reactions
SPECTINOMYCIN• chemically related to the aminoglycosides• binds at the 30 S subunit (bacteriostatic)• dispensed as the dihydrochloride
pentahydrate for IM injection• used solely as an alternative treatment for
gonorrhea in patients who are allergic to penicillin or whose gonococci are resistant to other drugs

into a number of tissues (lungs, tonsils, cervix)• tissue half life – 2-4 days• long half-life allows once daily oral administration
and shortening of treatment in many cases ( a single 1 g dose of azithromycin is as effective as a 7 day course of doxycycline for chlamydial cervicitis and urethritis)
Azithromycin
• Community acquired pneumonia – 500 mg loading dose, followed by a 250 mg single daily dose for the next 4 days
