Protein Synthesis Inhibitors/Ribosomal Agents Part I: Tetracyclines, Glycylcyclines, and Oxazolidinones (Course: Phar 5337) Dakshina M. Jandhyala PhD, Email: [email protected] Phone: 713 743‐0475 Office: 6009, Health 2 Learning Objectives • Identify the mechanism of action for Tetracyclines and Oxazolidinones • Identify resistance paradigms employed by bacteria to resist the action of these antibiotics • Identify the spectrum for these antibiotics • Identify the common formulations and routes of administration for these antibiotics • Identify key PK/PD characteristics of these antibiotics • Identify any adverse reactions or key drug‐drug interactions with these antibiotics Protein Synthesis and the Ribosome https://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/cells/ribosomes/ribosomes.html Steps in bacterial protein synthesis and targets of several antibiotics. Amino acids are shown as numbered circles. The 70S ribosomal mRNA complex is shown with its 50S and 30S subunits. In step 1, the charged tRNA unit carrying amino acid 6 binds to the acceptor site on the 70S ribosome. The peptidyl tRNA at the donor site, with amino acids 1 through 5, then binds the growing amino acid chain to amino acid 6 (transpeptidation, step 2). The uncharged tRNA left at the donor site is released (step 3), and the new 6-amino acid chain with its tRNA shifts to the peptidyl site (translocation, step 4). The antibiotic-binding sites are shown schematically as triangles. Chloramphenicol (C) and macrolides (M) bind to the 50S subunit and block transpeptidation (step 2). The tetracyclines (T) bind to the 30S subunit and prevent binding of the incoming charged tRNA unit (step 1).
