Antimycobacterial
Streptomycin

Antimycobacterial
Quinupristin
- Protein synthesis inhibitor
- Site: Ribosome(50S)
- Blockade of translocation reaction
Dalfopristin
- Protein synthesis inhibitor
- Site: Ribosome(50S)
- Action: Induction in conformational change in the 50S ribosome
Two Mechanisms
1) Binds penicillin-binding proteins and inhibits catalytic functions of these enzymes.
2) Activate autolysins
Time dependent bactericidal

Beta- Lactams
Bind terminus of nascent peptidoglycan pentapeptide --> inhibition of transglycosylase
Bactericidal

Vancomycin
Inhibits enolpyruvate transferase --> blocks N-acetylmuramic acid synthesis.

Fosfomycin
Inhibits the binding of the tRNA to the (A) site of the ribosome.

tetracyclines
Inhibits the transpeptidation reaction of peptidyltransferase

Chloramphenicol
Inhibits translocation reaction to the (P) site.
(4 drugs)
- 1) aminoglycosides
- 2) macrolides
- 3) lincosamides
- 4) type B streptogramins
