Infectious diseases caused by fungi called Mycosis ….cell wall composed of chitin…Contain Ergosterol Cutaneous Mycosis/Epidermis = Superficial infection invoving skin … Drugs for Subcutaneous & Systemic inections Amphotericin B (Fungicidal/Fungistatic) From S.nodosus DOC in Systemic mycosis… MOA bind to Ergosterol...form pore… Allowing leak of Electrolytes & small molecules…cell death Antifungal spectrum   activity against Candida albican, Histoplasma capsulatum,Cryptococcus neoforamans, Coccidicoides immitis, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Apergillus P.K  insoluble in water, Deoxycholate added to form colloidal suspension ↓Nephrotoxicity. …  Liposome formulation AMBISOME, AMPHOTECT, ABELCET… S.E  fever & chills, Thrombophlebitis, Nephrotoxicity, Hypotension, normocytic anemia exacerbate in HIV pt receiving Zidovudine Flucytosine (Fungistatic) Pyrimidine metabolite.

How Anti Microbials inhibit the cell walls of bacteria ? Review of pharmacology from lipincott.

 Anti – microbial drug selectively interfere with synthesis of bacterial cell wall  Pencillins MOA:  interfere with last step of Bacterial cell wall synthesis (Transpeptidation/Cross-linkage)….result in exposure of Alteration in Osmotically memb…Cell lysis occur … either though Osmotic pressure or by Autolysin….Pencillin effective only against rapid growing bacteria  Pencillin-binding Protein  1. PBP are bacterial enzymes involved in synthesis of cell wall   2. PBP involved in maintenance of morphological feature… Pencillin also cause changes in morphological feature  Inhibition of Transpeptidase PBP catalyze cross-linkage b/w Peptidoglycan chain….  Pencillin inhibit this Transpeptidase-Catalyzed reaction…. the cross-linkage formation essential for integrity of cell wall…. As a result” Park Nucleotide” UDP-acetylmuramyl-Ala-D-Gin-L-lys-D-Ala-D-Ala accumulation  Production of Autolysin  Gram+Ve cocci produce degradative enzyme “Auto...
