1 Broad-spectrum antibiotics
Chapter 37 Broad-spectrum antibiotics Tetracycline Chloramphenicol Shutcm-MBL 1

2 Part 1 Tetracyclines Pharmacokinetics
Oral absorption: incomplete; avoid use with milk, iron preparation and anti-acid drugs. Distribution: widely; easy to accumulate in bone and teeth. Excretion: mainly from bile and urine; exists enterohepatic circulation. Shutcm-MBL

3 Antimicrobial activity, mechanism, and spectrum
1. Efficacy: quick bacteriostatic; 2. Mechanism: inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S subunit and blocking tRNA binding to the A site. 3. Spectrum: broad spectrum of activity • G+菌:<penicillin, cephalosporin • G-菌:<aminoglycosides • Others: chlamydia, mycoplasma, rickettsia, leptospira, amoeba. Shutcm-MBL

4 Therapeutic uses 1. Richettsiae infections: ship fever; 2. Mycoplasmal pneumonia (first choice); 3. Chlamydia infections: cervicitis, urethritis, trachoma. 4. G+ and G- infections (second line choice) 5. Penicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. 支原体肺炎 Shutcm-MBL

5 Adverse reactions 1. Local reactions: gastrointestinal tract adverse reaction;necrosis; phlebitis; 2. Secondary infections (Superinfections): a second infection superimposed on an earlier one, especially by a different microbial agent of exogenous or endogenous origin, that is resistant to the treatment being used against the first infection. 3. Effects on teeth : forbidden use for pregnant or breast-feeding woman, and children under Liver, kidney toxicity. Shutcm-MBL

6 Part 2 Chloramphenicols
Pharmacokinetics Oral absorption: rapidly and completely absorbed; Distribution: all tissues and body fluids including CNS; Excretion: metabolized and then eliminated from kidney. Shutcm-MBL

7 Antimicrobial activity, mechanism, and spectrum
1. Efficacy: quick bacteriostatic; 2. Mechanism: inhibit protein synthesis of bacteria 3. Spectrum: aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Chloramphenicol binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit at the peptidyltransferase site and inhibits the transpeptidation reaction. Shutcm-MBL

8 Clinical uses In general, it is rarely used due to toxicity.
1. Typhoid fever (first choice: third-generation cephalosporins and quinolones); 2. Bacterial meningitis (first choice: third-generation cephalosporins) 3. Anaerobic infections (alternative drugs); 4. Rickettsial diseases (first choice: tetracyclines) 5. Brucellosis (first choice: tetracyclines) Shutcm-MBL

9 Adverse reaction 1. Bone marrow suppression (1) A dose-dependent, reversible depression of erythrocyte, platelet and leucocyte formation that occurs early in treatment; (2) An idiosyncratic, non-dose related and usually fatal aplastic anemia. 2. Grey baby syndrome: circulatory collapse (neonates forbidden, daily dosage<25mg/kg); 3. Secondary infection; 4. Hypersensitivity reactions. Shutcm-MBL
