Term
drug
Definition
type
Term
amphoterecin B
Definition
macrolide w/ amphitatic structure. MOA: nonpolar side binds tightly to ergosterol in fungal cell membrane. , polar side= pores for ions to leak out. 2. some resistance in candida and psuedallescheria- instrinsic resistance. Acquired resistance is not clinically significant 3. broad spectrum. Used as initial treatment for lifethreatening systemic, then switchhed to triazoles. 4.iv suspended in deoxycholate, oral admin only for gi infect. Liposomal prep - higher doses w less toxicity, but more expensive 5. renal damage, interaction with nephrotoxic drugs
Term
Flucytosine
Definition
MOA: taken up by fungal cytosine permease. Conversio to 5-FU, FUTP (inhbit RNA synth), and 5dUMP (DNA synth) 2.resistance: loss of FC to FU conversion, or FU to FUMP conversion, or loss of permease 3.limited to candida and cryptococcus, 44. oral: absorbed rapidly from GI, well distributed (including CNS), synergu w amphoterecin B, itraconazole. Usually given in combo to avoid resistance 5. toxici ty w renal impairment, can also cause bone marrow imparement, GI effects.
Term
azoles
Definition
imidazole: MOA of all azoles- inhibit p450 enzyme lanosterol demethhylase (ERG11) blocks ergosterol biosynt. Causes disrupt of membrane, as well as accumulation of toxic precursor methylsterol, blocking membrane enzymes. 2. azole drug resistance: pump overexpression, target enzyme altered or overexpressed. Mutation leading to production of less toxic, alternative sterol 3. broad spectrum 4. minor gi distress, rare hepatitis , p450 drug interactions
Term
ketoconazole
Definition
imidazole : oral
Term
clotrimazole
Definition
imidazole: oral and vulvovaginal candisasis, dermatophyte infect 2. topical
Term
miconazole
Definition
imidazole 2. oral and vulvovaginal candisasis, dermatophyte infect 3. topical
Term
traconazole
Definition
triazole
Term
itroconazole
Definition
triazole 2. most potent azole, favored over kotconzaole- more ffective less toxic. Its metabolite has antifungal activity 3. GI enhanced by GI acid and food., lipid soluble metabolized by . 4. Cp3a4 isoenzyzme metabolzied, gi distress and teratgeenic , cant be given with proton pumps which decrease acidity.
Term
fluconazole
Definition
triazole 2. oral, no need fo acidity. Distirubted in CNS. Fewer interactions with other drugs.
Term
voriconazole
Definition
newest triazoles with improved bioavailability
Term
posaconazole
Definition
newest triazoles with improved bioavailability
Term
terbinafine
Definition
MOA: inhibitor of squalene epoxidase blocks ergosterl synth. Toxic accum of sterol squalene 2. synergistic with triazole compounds, prevents anil bed and skin infections, targets tinea 3. minimal side effects- GI distress and headache
Term
nystatin
Definition
topical amphoterecin derivative 2. local supression of candidal
Term
caspofungin
Definition
moa: b(1,3)-glucan synthase inhibitor- messes up cell wall 2. resistance via mutation in FKS1 (B 1,3 glucan synthase) 3. candida and aspergillosis resistant to amphtoericin B 4. parenterally
