What are the major drug categories that work on the 30s subunit to inhibit protein synthesis?
1) Aminoglycosides
2) Tetracyclines
3) Glycylcyclines
What are the major drug categories that work on the 50s subunit to inhibit protein synthesis?
1) Macrolides
2) Other (Chloramphenical and Clindamycin)
3) Newer antimicrobials (Linezolid, Quinupristin/Dalfopristin)
What group of anti-bacterial protein synthesis inhibitors is both bacteriostatic AND bacteriocidal?
Aminoglycosides
During which event of protein synthesis do Aminoglycosides work?
Initiation/Formation of initiation complex.
During which event of protein synthesis does Linezolid work?
Initiation/Formation of initiation complex.
Where do Aminoglycosides bind?
30s subunit
Where does Linezolid bind?
50s subunit
What is the MOA of aminioglycosides?
1) Interfere with initiation codon functions - block association of 50s ribosomal subunit with mRNA-30s (bacteriostatic)
2) Incorporation of wrong amino acids (bacteriocidal)
What is the MOA of linezolid?
1) Interfere with initiation codon functions - block association of 50s ribosomal subunit with mRNA-30s (bacteriostatic)
During which event do Tetracyclines work?
Amino-acid incorporation
(1st step of Elongation)
During which event do Quinupristin/Dalfopristin work?
Translocation
What is the binding site of Tetracyclines?
30s subunit
What is the binding site of Quinupristin/Dalfopristin?
50s subunit
What is the MOA of tetracyclines?
Block the attachment of aminoacyl tRNA to acceptor site, or "A" site (bacteriostatic)
What is the MOA of Dalfopristin/Quinupristin?
Inhibits translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from acceptor site (A site) to P site. (bacteriorstatic)
During which event does chlroamphenicol work?
Formation of Peptide bond
During which event do macrolides work?
Translocation
During which event does clindamycin work?
Translocation
Where does chloramphenicol bind?
50s subunit
Where do macrolides bind?
50s subunit

50s subunit
What is the MOA of chloramphenicol?
Inhibits the activity of peptidyltransferase (bacteriostatic)
What is the MOA of macrolides?
Inhibits translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from acceptor site (A site) to P site. (bacteriorstatic)
What is the MOA of clindamycin?
Inhibits translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from acceptor site (A site) to P site. (bacteriorstatic)
