Control of Microbial Growth § Sterilizing Agents-- kill everything (e. g. heat, radiation) § Disinfectants-- kill most things. Too strong for living tissues (e. g. lysol, NH 3) § Antiseptics-- milder in action. Can be used topically, but not ingested. (e. g. alcohol, iodine) § Chemotherapeutics-- can be ingested (e. g. penicillin, sulfa drugs)

Medicines with an antimicrobial activity are divided into two groups: 1 – non-selective antimicrobial agents, causes most destructive effect on the majority of microorganisms (antiseptics and disinfectants). 2 - selective antimicrobial drugs (chemotherapeutic agents).

ORIGINS OF ANTISEPTICS Joseph Lister (1827 - 1912) n n n Realised that deaths from operations mostly occurred from infection contracted during the operation as a result of unclean practices. He started using Carbolic acid (phenol) during operations to maintain aseptic conditions with significant improvements. Like Semmelweiss he initially encountered opposition, but use of his methods by the Germans during the Franco. Prussian war in 1870 provided his major breakthrough and over the next 10 years, the practise of aseptic surgery became accepted.

Antimicrobials could be ► narrow-spectrum and effective only against a limited variety of pathogens or broadspectrum, affecting many different types of pathogens ► bactericidal if they kill the susceptible bacteria or bacteriostatic if they inhibit the growth of bacteria

Antiseptics and disinfectants - a group of drugs that are able to inhibit the growth, development or leads to death of microorganisms in the environment surrounding the patient or on the surface of the body. Antiseptics - (anti- against; septicas - putrid). This is a group of medicines that are used to eliminate pathogens in the wound (skin, mucous membranes) in the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract. Causes bacteriocidal or bacteriostatic effect depending on the concentration. Disinfectants - used for disinfection of medical instruments, utensils, facilities, equipment, etc. Disinfection - a complex of measures aimed at prevention of infection in the wound (in the body as a whole) or to prevent the spread of infection. • Draw a sharp line between antiseptics and disinfectants is not always possible, because many substances used in low concentrations as antiseptics, and higher - for disinfection.

Requirements for antiseptics and disinfectants. n n n n n Must have a broad spectrum of action; Rapid onset of action; Should have a small latency period; Should have a high activity; Must be chemically resistant; High availability and low cost; Lack of local irritant or allergic effects on tissues; Minimal absorption from the place of their application; Low toxicity.

Sources of antiseptics ► Early antiseptics were probably vegetable extracts § Many spices contain antibacterial agents Essential oils extracted from plants often have antibacterial properties ► Lister used carbolic acid which chemically is a solution of phenol ► § Phenol was originally extracted from coal tar. § Coal tar preparations are still used today in therapeutic soaps and shampoos. • To characterize the antimicrobial activity of the antiseptic agents used phenol ratio which indicates action force of the antimicrobial agent in comparison with the phenol. • The difference between antiseptics and disinfectants -The objectives of their application.

Cetylpyridinium chloride in the composition of the drug "Tserigel" is used for hand washing before surgery.

n Sulfonamides n Quinolones and Fluroquinolones n Nitrofuran derivatives II. Synthetic chemotherapeutic agents

Sulfonamides § Sulfa drugs (SA) - synthetic chemotherapeutic agents, which are derivatives of sulfanilamide, or amides of sulfonic acid. Common properties of SA: - Sulfa nucleus; - Mechanism of action; - Spectrum of antibacterial action. The first preparation of SA: Red Streptocid (1935).

Classification of SA 1. Preparations with the resorptive (system) actions which are well absorbed in the intestine, creating high concentrations in the blood and other tissues: § short-acting drugs (period of half of absorption less than 10 hours are applied 3 -4 times per day, sometimes even 4 -6 times a day in an amount of 4 -6 g/day): § - Sulfadimezin; § - Etazol; § - Norsulfazol; § - Urosulfan.

Classification of SA § drugs with intermediate action (t 1/2 = 10 -24 hours): § - Sulfazin; § - Sulfamethoxazole. • long-acting (t 1/2 = 24 -28 hours): § - Sulfadimetoxin; § - Sulfapiridazin; § - Sulfamonomethoxine. § extremely long-acting (t 1/2 of 48 hours): § - Sulfalen.

Classification of SA 2. Preparations of the intestinal action, which are slowly and incompletely absorbed from the GIT, they are use for the treatment of intestinal infections (t 1/2 <10 hours). § - Ftalazol; § - Sulgin; § - Ftazin; 3. SA for topical application (readily soluble in water and is used topically in the eye drops for the prevention and treatment of gonococcal eye disease in newborns, as well as for the treatment of conjunctivitis, blepharitis, corneal ulcers and other pathologies of the eye). § -Sulfacil-sodium.

Mechanism of action § Certain microbes require paraaminobenzoic acid (PABA) to synthesize dihydrofolic acid which is required to produce purines and ultimately nucleic acids. § Sulfonamides, chemical analogs of PABA, are competitive inhibitors of dihydropteroate synthetase. § Sulfonamides therefore are reversible inhibitors of folic acid synthesis and bacteriostatic not bacteriocidal.

Mechanism of action

Conditions necessary for the manifestation of the antibacterial action of the SA: n n n - microorganisms can use SA instead of PABA in the case when the concentration of the drug in tissues in 2000 -5000 times higher than the concentration of PABA; - SA efficiency sharply decreases in the presence of pus, blood and tissue breakdown products due to the PABA high concentration in these products; - SA have antimicrobial action only against those microorganisms which are themselves synthesized DHFA; - In SA resistant microorganisms observed increased synthesis of PABA; - The use of the SA in low concentrations contributes to the formation of resistant strains of microorganisms and leads to inefficiency of the SA.

SA antimicrobial spectrum § Currently used SA have broad spectrum, they inhibit gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria: Streptococcus pneumoniae, betahaemolytic streptococci, E. coli, klebciella, shigella, salmonella, enterobacter, gonococci, meningococci, and pneumococci; § Nocardia, § Chlamidia, § Protozoa (toxoplasma and malarial plasmodia).

SA pharmacokinetics n Absorption. Slightly in the stomach and mainly in the small intestine. Within 30 minutes after the administration of the SA are found in urine. The bioavailability is 70 -90%. n Biotransport. Reversibly bind to serum albumin, an agent which is directly proportional to the degree of hydrophobicity of the molecule of the drug. SA can displace from its association another protein drugs, particularly NSAIDs and endogenous substances (bilirubin). n Distribution. Pass through the blood-tissue, placenta and blood-brain barriers. Also passes into breast milk.

SA pharmacokinetics Biotransformation. Phase I reactions - acetylation, hydrogen substitution in the group NH 2 -acetic acid residue, thereby forming acetylated derivatives which do not have antimicrobial activity in an acidic medium and form crystals that disrupts the function of the kidney (crystalluria). Reaction Phase II – formation of double binding with glucuronic acid. n Excretion. Advantageously, urine, saliva, to a lesser extent and intestinal contents, but also breast milk. Are displayed in the form of metabolites and unchanged. n

§ § § § § Clinical uses of SA Infections of urinary tract GIT infections Respiratory tract infection Pharingitis, gingivitis Chlamidial infections Wounds, burns Toxoplasmosis Malaria For systemic treatment cotrimoxazole is more often used nowadays § Sufonamides are used for prevention of infections.

Side effects of sulfonamides - occur in 3 - 5% of patients and more frequently in children and the elderly. Complications due to overdose, and patients with hypersensitivity to the SA. 1.

Combined sulfa drugs (BISEPTOLUM). n The mechanism of action of the combined drug on the principle of combined violations of nucleic acid synthesis in two points: 1. at the level of DHFA inclusion in PABA synthesis; 2. at the level of THFA formation from DHFA.

Combined sulfa drugs (BISEPTOLUM). § The second (additional) mechanism is achieved by use of Trimethoprim (TMP) - antimalarial drug. § TMP has a similar antimicrobial activity with the SA and is superior in activity in the 20 -100 times. The most justifiable is a combination of TMP with sulfamethoxazole in the ratio of 1: 5. § Thus, the combined preparation ‘Biseptol-480’ created, which is a combination of TMP with sulfamethoxazole 1: 5 (80 mg + 400 mg). § This combination has a bactericidal effect, although each of the components exhibits - bacteriostatic.
