3. Protozoal Infection
Unicellular protozoal cells have metabolic processes closer to human
cells than bacteria
Protozoal infections are less easily treated than bacterial infections:
Protozoal
Infections
Malaria
Amoebiasis
Leishmaniasis
Trypanosomiasis
Trichomoniasis
Giardiasis
4. Amoebiasis
Causative agent: Protozoal parasite
Amoebiasis: Infection of Large Intestine
: Entamoeba
histolytica
Cyst Tropozoites
- Not active
- Survive outside
of Host Body
-Tissue lysis of wall of intestine
Diarrhoea
Dysentery
-Presence of Blood
& mucous in stools
-Abdominal Pain
Parasite invade to blood vessels & Causes problems
in Liver & Brain: Leads to death of Host
Exist in 2 Forms
9. Binds to proteins and DNA, resulting in cell death
Metronidazole is a Prodrug that is reduced in the cytoplasm
by a Nitroreductase enzyme; resulting toxic intermediates
disrupt nucleic acid structure.
9
10. Metabolism: In the liver, metabolism of metronidazole leads to two
major metabolites, hydroxylation of the 2-methyl group to 2-
hydroxymethyl metronidazole and oxidation to metronidazole acetic
acid (MAA)
10
13. Mechanism of action is similar to that of Metronidazole
Used in the treatment of intestinal and hepatic Amoebiasis
Greater efficacy than Metronidazole
.
Tinidazole
1-Chloro-3-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propan-2-ol
Ornidazole
1-(2-ethylsulfonylethyl)-2-methyl-5-nitro-imidazole
14. Dichloroacetamide Derivatives
Mechanism of Action:
Side effects: Flatulence, Vomitting
Effective in Intestinal, Luminal and local Amoebiasis
Diloxanide Furoate
4-[(Dichloroacetyl)(methyl)amino]phenyl furan-2-carboxylateDiloxanide
16. Alkaloids
Emetine
Dehydroemetine
Differ only in a double bond next to the ethyl substituent
Alkaloid derived from Cephaelis ipecacuanha
Synthetic analog
Less side effects
Parenterally administered (IM/SC), by oral route cause vomiting
MOA: Inhibiting intra-ribosomal translocation of tRNA-amino acid complex
Inhibition of Protein Synthesis
17. 1. Emetine Possesses a skeleton with two Tetrahydoisoquinoloine ring
system and a Terpenoidal portion.
2. Psychotrine is a phenolic. It gives Emetine on reduction followed by
methylation.
3. Emetine is non Phenolic moiety.
4. N-5 and C-9 are critical positions : Essential for Biological activities
Chemistry
17
18. 1. Local stimulation: Pain and tenderness in the area of injection
2. Gastrointestinal tract discomfort: Nausea, vomiting CTZ (oral and IV)
3. Diarrhoea and abdominal cramps
4. Neuromuscular blockade: Muscle weakness and discomfort
5. Cardiac toxicity: Arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, hypotension,
ECG changes
Contraindication: Not be used in patients with cardiac or renal disease,
in pregnancy
Emetine Adverse Effects
19. 8-Hydroxyquinolines
Quinoline ring: Basic nucleus
Effectiveness limited to bowel luminal organism
-Not effective against intestinal wall/extraintestinal tissue tropozoites
Poor Absorption
Interfere with Thyroid functions: decreases 131I uptake
SE: On long term use-Goiter
Neurotoxicity
Green stools
5-Chloro-7-iodo-quinolin-8-ol
5,7-diiodoquinolin-8-ol
Iodoquinol Clioquinol
20. Broad-spectrum Antiparasitic and Antiviral drug used in medicine for the
treatment of various helminthic, protozoal and viral infections.
SE: Stomach pain, headache, vomiting, discolored urine, excessive
urinating, skin rash, itching
MOA: Interference with the Pyruvate: Ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR)
enzyme-dependent electron transfer reaction which is essential to anaerobic
energy metabolism
Tizoxanide is an active metabolite of Nitazoxanide
Nitrothiazolidines
Nitazoxanide
[2-[(5-Nitro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)carbamoyl]phenyl]ethanoate
22. Antibiotics
Paromomycin
Aminoglycoside antibiotic
Use in Amoebiasis, Leishmaniasis
MOA: Cause leakage in cell membrane of parasite
SE: Abdominal distress and Diarrhea
Administered as by IM and in capsule dosage form
