3 INTRODUCTION:

5 MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Interfere with the synthesis of bacterial cell wall. Bacteria synthesizes UDP-NAM and UDP-NAG. Peptidoglycan are linked- long strands (UDP splits) Cleavage of terminal D-Ala by transpeptidases Energy released is used for cross linkage between peptide chains. Inhibits the transpeptidases which constitute penicillin binding proteins
(PBPs) When bacteria divides in presence of beta lactam antibiotics-CWD-swell-
burst-lysis.

9 PENICILLINS: Introduction: First antibiotic, discovered by Alexander Fleming Obtained from Penicillium notatum, presently P. chrysogenum. Bactericidal Effective against gram positive bacteria, less against gram negative. Nucleus
Thiazolidine & beta- lactam ring Side chains via amide linkage

10 CLASSIFICATION: Natural
Penicillin G (PnG ) Semisynthetic
Acid resistant –penicillin V penicillinase-resistant penicillins – methicillin, cloxacillin,
dicycloxacillon Extended spectrum penicillins
1. Aminopenicillins: ampicillin, bacampicillin, amoxicillin.
2. Carboxypenicillins: carbenicillin.
3. Ureidopenicillins: piperacillin, mezlocillin. Beta-lactamase inhibitors: clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam. 2/1/2017
11 NATURAL PENICILLINS (PnG):
Narrow spectrum Active against gram positive. Bacterial resistance: production of penicillinase. PENICILLINASE: beta lactamase
Opens beta ring – inactivates PnG. Ex: staphylococci, gonococci, B. subtilis, E. coli, H. influezae.

12 Natural penicillin(cont..)
PHARMACOKINETICS: Acid labile, 1/3rd dose is absorbed, sod. PnG( i.m)- rapid and complete. Peak plasma level-30mins Distribution – extracellular, body fluids, CSF – poor. Plasma protein bound – 60% metabolism-little Excretion rapid renal. 105 – GF
Neonates – slow tubular secretion, t1/2 longer

Bacampicillin: ester Completely absorbs in g.i.t.Largely hydrolysed

18 Extended Spectrum Penicillins Cont.. Carboxypenicillins Carbenicillin:
Special feature- activity against Pseudomonus aeruginosa & indole positive proteus.
Neither penicillin resistant nor acid resistant. Absorption – inactive orally, excreted rapidly in urine Used as sodium salts- 1-2g i.m. or 1-5 g i.v. every 4-6hrs. High dose causes bleeding Uses: burns, UTIs, septicaemia. Combined with gentamycin but should not be mixed in same syringe. Carbenicillin indanyl: orally active ester.

19 Extended Spectrum Penicillins Cont..
Ureidopenicillins: Piperacillin:
Antipseudomonal penicillin, 8 times more active than carbenicillin. Good activty against Klebsiella, Enterobacteriaceae, Bacteriodes. Treating gram negative infections in
neutropenic/iimmunocompromised or burn patients. t1/2 -1hr.
Mezlocillin- not available in India.

20 Beta lactamase inhibitors Beta lactamase: opens beta lactam ring, inactivates antibiotics. Three inhibitors : clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam are for clinical use. Clavulonic acid:
Strep. clavuligerus. No activity of its own. Suicide inhibitors, gets inactivated after binding to enzyme. Permeates outer layer of cell wall of gram- bacteria. Used in combination with amoxicillin(coamoxiclav)
Pharmacokinetics: Rapid oral absortion, BA-60% Metabolism: hydrolysed and decarboxylated. Eliminated- GF(not effected by probenecid).
2/1/2017
21 Beta lactamase inhibitors Cont..
Uses: Skin and soft tissue infection, intraabdominal * gynaecological
sepsis, urinary, biliary and respiratory tract infection Gonorrhoea: 3g amoxicillin+ o.5g clavulonic acid+ 1g probenecid-
highly curative. Adverse effects: G.i. tolerance is poor. Candida stomatitis/vaginitis & rashes.
