30-40% level
Term
Only ____ structurally new antibiotics have been approved since 1962.
Definition
3
Term
Reasons for little research and development of antibiotics
Definition
1. high cost of development
2. antibiotics have a low return rate
3. lack of guidance documents from the FDA
Term
From 1962-2000 ______major classes of antibiotics were introduced
Definition
no major classes introduced
=> gap in novel antibiotic discovery for over 20 yrs.
most antibiotics are produced by bacteria or fungi originally (approximately 70% of antibacterials are natural products or have a natural product pharmacophore)
Term
Mutilins developed from ....
Definition
Fungi, originally developed in 50s but are re-emerging as potential treatment
Term
Dificid treats? (fidaxomicin Difficid)
Definition
Closridium difficile. approved april 2011. product of filamentous bacteria, pharm companies used natural product to derive
Term
What are antibiotics
Definition
molecules that stop microbes both bacteria and fungi from growing or kill them outright.
Term
Bacteriostatic
Definition
antibiotics that stop bacteria from growing
Term
bacteriocidal
Definition
antibiotics that cause bacterial cell death
Term
Classification of antibiotics is based on (3)
Definition
1. the class and spectrum of microorganism it kills
2. the biochemical pathway it interferes with
3. the chemical structure of the pharmacophore
Term
Sulfonamides (synthetic) target what path? example?
Definition
folate pathway
Prontosil
Term
Beta Lactams
Definition
Cell wall
Peniciilin G
Term

Rifampin
Term
Rifampin is used in treatment of?
Definition
TB
Term
Oxazolidinones (synthetic)
Definition
Protein
Linezolid
Term
Lipopeptides
Definition
Bacterial Membrane
Daptomycin
Term
Polyketide
Definition
RNA Polymerase
Dificid
Term
What is the approach used to create successive generations of antibiotic classes?
Definition
Successive rounds of medchem using synthetic tailoring. you take a natural product and modify the structure to try to overcome the resistance by adding modifying side chain structure (penicillins) or functional groups so that enzymes can Chew that up and not the pharmacophore
