UNIT– I: Antibiotics Notes – Summary
- Historical Background
- Antibiotics are substances that inhibit or kill microorganisms.
- Penicillin, discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, was the first widely used antibiotic.
- Nomenclature
- Based on chemical structure, source (natural/semi-synthetic), and microbial target.
- Includes suffixes like -cillin, -mycin, -cycline.
- Stereochemistry
- Stereochemistry influences binding affinity and biological activity.
- Specific 3D arrangements are crucial for efficacy and resistance avoidance.
- Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR)
- Modifications in structure can alter potency, spectrum, and resistance profile.
- SAR guides drug design and improvement.
- Chemical Degradation Classification
- Antibiotics can degrade via hydrolysis, oxidation, or isomerization.
- Stability depends on storage and chemical structure.
- Important Classes and Products
- β-Lactam Antibiotics:
- Penicillin, Cephalosporins, Monobactams, β-Lactamase Inhibitors
- Aminoglycosides:
- Streptomycin, Neomycin, Kanamycin
- Tetracyclines:
