Summary of Antibiotics and Antimalarials Notes
1. Antibiotics
- Historical Background: Discovery and evolution of antibiotics; major milestones.
- Nomenclature: Based on source, structure, or microbial target.
- Stereochemistry: Crucial for biological activity and selectivity.
- Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR): Understanding chemical groups essential for activity.
- Chemical Degradation: Hydrolysis, oxidation, and photodegradation pathways.
- Classification & Key Products:
- Chlortetracycline: Tetracycline class; broad-spectrum activity.
- Macrolides:
- Erythromycin: 14-membered ring; bacteriostatic.
- Clarithromycin, Azithromycin: Semi-synthetic derivatives with improved stability.
- Miscellaneous:
- Chloramphenicol: Broad-spectrum; risk of aplastic anemia.
- Clindamycin: Lincosamide; effective against anaerobes.
2. Prodrugs
- Concept: Inactive compounds metabolized into active forms.
- Application: Improve solubility, absorption, and targeted delivery.
3. Antimalarials
- Etiology: Malaria caused by Plasmodium species.
