12 hrs
16-18 hrs
MOA Bind to 30s ribosomal subunit, blocking binding of aminoacyl tRNA to the acceptor site Addition of amino acids to the growing peptide is prevented.
Properties Bacteriostatic Crystalline amphoteric Low water solubility Transport passive diffusion Oxygen dependent process
RESISTANCE Natural Transport system crucial Oxygen dependent Induced Acquired resistance Plasmid borne I/C concentration due to influx or ↑ efflux. Enzymatic inactivation Impaired entry Alteration in the porins proteins production interfere with the binding of drugs to target site.

ADVERSE REACTIONS (NUMEROUS) HYPERSENSITY REACTIONS. G.I.T. NVD, Modify flora: anal pruritis, candidiases, Pseudomembranous enteroclitis with shock and death Discolor teeth in children, Phototoxicity, Vestibular toxicity (minocycline) Renal toxicity Hepatic toxicity
MACROLIDES Target is bacterial ribosome Attached to 50s unit Interferes with translation Bacteriostatic usually Bactericidal at high conc.
Erythromycin Clarithromycin Ezithromycin Roxithromycin Telithromycin (ketolide)
Clarithro and Ezithro are synthetic derivative of Erythromycin
MACROLIDES So named because they contain a many-membered lactone ring to which are attached one or more deoxy sugars
MOA Bind to 50s ribosomal subunit, blocking transfer of amino acid from incoming charged tRNA to the acceptor site
inhibiting translocation of peptidyltRNA Block of initiation complex
Properties Bacteriostatic, Have lactone ring Poor water solubility More active in alkaline pH good absorbed from small intestine; well distribute to body tissues poor penetration in CNS can cross the placenta Destroyed by gastric acid
First-pass metabolism reduces bioavailability Drug food interactions Food delays absorption. Oral and IV small amount excreted in urine Ezithromycin better absorption on empty stomach
RESISTANCE • Reduced cellular permeability or enhancement of efflux 2. Production of enzymes that hydrolyze macrolides (Estrases) Enterobacteriaceae 3. Change in ribosomal binding site properties.
PK profile ABSORPTION
small intestine;
Inactivated by gastric acids Food delays absorption. Oral or I/V. Clarithromycin is absorbed rapidly from the GIT First-pass metabolism reduces bioavailability to 50% - 55%. Distributes widely to body tissues, except CSF.
PK profile Distributes widely to all tissues, except CSF and ear Significant concentrations in breast milk(50% of serum). Cross the placental barrier, ( 5% to 20%). Protein binding is approximately 70% to 90%.
ELIMINATION. ORAL: 2% to 5% excreted in active form in the urine; I/V : 12% to 15% _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Concentrated in the liver and appears in active form in bile. The plasma elimination half-life of erythromycin is 1.6 hours Clarithromycin also is eliminated by renal and nonrenal mechanisms, metabolized in the liver to several metabolites, the 14-hydroxy metabolite being the most significant because of the amount produced and its important biological activity. The exact biodisposition of azithromycin still is under study.
EXCRETION Erythromycin Hepatic metabolism (CYP3A) Some biliary secretion Azithromycin Feces as unchanged drug Prolonged half-life (68 hrs) Given for only 5 days Clarithromycin Unchanged in urine (30%) and feces
