2. Steps in Protein synthesis
STEP 1:
• Transcription of mRNA from a DNA in the nucleus.
• Synthesis of the various other types of RNA using
the appropriate DNA.
• Migration of RNAs from the nucleus into the
cytoplasm.
• Prior to the beginning of the protein synthesis, all of
the component parts are assembled in the
ribosome.
3. Steps in Protein synthesis
STEP 2: Initiation:
• In the cytoplasm, protein synthesis is actually initiated
by the AUG codon on mRNA.
• The AUG codon signals both the interaction of the
ribosome with m-RNA and also the tRNA with the
anticodons (UAC).
• The tRNA which initiates the protein synthesis has N-
formyl-methionine attached.
• The next step is for a second tRNA to approach the
mRNA
• The final process is to start growing peptide chain by
having amine of 2nd
AA to bond to the carboxyl acid
group of methinone (met) in order to elongate the
peptide
4. Steps in Protein synthesis
STEP 3: Elongation:
• Elongation of the peptide begins as various
tRNA's read the next codon.
• Role of Peptidyl transferase
5. Steps in Protein synthesis
Step 4: Termination:
• When the stop signal on mRNA is reached, the protein
synthesis is terminated. The last amino acid is
hydrolyzed from its t-RNA.
• The peptide chain leaves the ribosome.
• The ribosome is now ready to repeat the synthesis
several more times.

7. Sites at which antibiotics acts
• 30 s ribosomal Unit:
Aminoglycosides
Tetracyclins
• 50s ribosomal Unit

Macrolides
Streptogamidins
Oxazolidinones
8. Aminoglycosides: History
• Most aminoglycosides are naturally occurring
substances produced by actinomycetes of either the
genus Streptomyces or Micromonospora.
• 1944: First member Streptomycin discovered by
Waksman from Streptomyces griseus.
• 1949: Discovery of Neomycin Streptomyces fradiae.
• 1957: Discovery of Kanamycin Streptomyces
kanamycetius
• 1963: Gentamicin discovered from Micromonospora
purpurea.
9. Structure
• Features of aminoglycosides include
amino sugars bound by glycosidic
linkages to a relatively conserved six-
membered ring that itself contains amino
group substituents (Aminosugars).
• Complex heterocyclic compound
• Aminocyclitol group+ one/more Amino
Sugars group
• Depending on Aminocyclitol ring mainly
two types
• Aminocyclitol is Streptidine
(Streptomycin, Dihydrostreptomycin)
• Aminocyclitol is Deoxystreptamine
Neomycin derivative: Neomycin,
Fremycetin
Kanamycin derivative: Kanamycin,
Amikacin, Tobramycin
Gentamicin derivative: Gentamicin,
Netilmicin, Sisomicin, Spectinomicin
10. Pharmacological Properties
• Poor absorption by oral route
• I/M or I/V route recommended
• Do not cross BBB
• Only extracellular distribution- Extensively distributed in
extracellular fluid
• Polar and water soluble
• Do not enter cell due to polar nature
• Limited biotransformation- Not significantly metabolized
• Excreted unchanged in urine via glomerular filtration
• Half life 2-4 hrs
• Low protein binding
• Used mainly as Sulphate salt
• More active in alkaline pH
• Ototoxicity and Nephrotoxicity
• Narrow margin of safety
• Rapid development of antibacterial resistance
12. Mechanism of Action
• Aminoglycosides bind to the 30S subunit of the
bacterial ribosome, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein
synthesis (translation):
1. Interfere with formation of initiation complex of peptide
formation
2. Binds to Ribosome and alter its shape in such a way
that there is misreading of mRNA causing
incorporation of incorrect AA.
3. Causes breakup of polysomes into nonfunctional
monosomes
4. Interfere with attachment of tRNA to mRNA-Ribosome
complex protein
• Requires oxygen uptake, therefore ineffective
against anaerobes.
• Bactericidal

14. Antimicrobial Spectrum:
1. Gram (-) Aerobic Bacilli
2. Beta-lactamase producers:
Staph. aureus
N. gonorrhea
3. Mycobacteria
Clinical Uses:
Severe gram (-) rod infections
Mycobacterial infections
15. Bacterial resistance to aminoglycosides occurs via one of
three mechanisms that prevent the normal binding of the
antibiotic to its ribosomal target:
1. Efflux pumps prevent accumulation of the
aminoglycoside in the cytosol of the bacterium.
2. Production of Enzymes Aminoglycosyl acetyl
transferase, Aminoglycosyl nucleotidyl transferase,
Aminoglycosyl phosphotransferase that adenylate or
phosphorylate hydroxyl group on aminoglycoside
molecules or acetylate exposed aminosugars thus modify
Aminoglycoside prevents binding to the ribosome.
3. Mutations within the ribosome prevent aminoglycoside
binding.
Resistance
16. Toxicity
• All members are Nephrotoxic and Ototoxic but vary in
ability to cause this adverse effect.
• Ototoxicity (esp. with loop diuretics):
• Auditory damage – Neomycin, Kanamycin
and Amikacin
• Vestibular Damage – Streptomycin,
Gentamicin; Tobramicin and Gentamicin less likely to
cause vestibular toxicity.
• Nephrotoxicity (esp. with cephalosporins)
Neomycin, Tobramycin, Gentamicin - most
nephrotoxic
• NM Blockade: It causes NM blockade by interfering with
acetyl choline release from motor nerve by blocking Ca+
+ ion
19. Streptomycin
• Oldest aminoglycoside
• Narrow spectrum
• Used with penicillin
• Rapid drug resistance: Ribosomal resistance to this agent develops
readily, limiting its role as a single agent
• Mainly used as a second line agent for treatment of tuberculosis
• Given at 0.5-1 g/d (7.5-15 mg/kg/day for children) IM or IV
• Should be used only in combination with other agents to
prevent emergence of resistance
• In plague, tularemia and sometimes brucellosis, 1 g/d (15
mg/kg/day for children) IM or IV + oral tetracycline +Penicillin
• Effective for enterococcal endocarditis and 2 week therapy of
viridans streptococcal endocarditis
• Can cause fever, skin rashes and other allergic reactions, pain at
injection site
• Vestibular dysfunction – most serious toxic
effect
• If given during pregnancy, can cause deafness in the newborn
20. Neomycin
• Streptomyces fradiae
• Broad spectrum
• Complex of A (Neamine), B (Framycetin), C (Neomycin)
• Neomycin B most commonly used
• Used for oral and topical application
• Effective against many Gram negative and Gram positive
bacteria
• Not active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
21. Kanamycin
• Streptomyces kanamycetius
• Broad spectrum
• Kanamycin A,B,C
• Kanamycin A is major component
• Active against aerobic gram negative bacteria
• Used for Topical application and oral route for enteric
infection
• Paromomycin is also a member of this group and all have
similar properties.
22. Used for bowel preparation for elective surgery.
There is complete cross-resistance between kanamycin
and neomycin.
Not significantly absorbed from the GIT; excretion of any
absorbed drug is mainly through GF into the urine.
Too toxic for parenteral use, now limited to topical and oral
use.
Solutions 1-5 mg/ml – used on infected surfaces or
injected into joints, pleural cavity, tissue spaces or
abscess cavities where infection is present (15
mg/kg/day).
23. Ointments (Neomycin-Polymyxin-Bacitracin
combination) applied to infected skin lesions or in the
nares for suppression of staphylococci.
In preparation for elective bowel surgery, 1 g of Neomycin
given orally q 6-8 hours + 1 g of erythromycin base.
Paromomycin, 1 g q 6 hours orally for 2 weeks; effective in
intestinal amoebiasis.
Sudden absorption of postoperatively instilled kanamycin
from the peritoneal cavity (3-5 g) has resulted in curare-
like neuromuscular blockade and respiratory arrest
(Calcium gluconate and neostigmine can act as
antidotes).
Prolonged application to skin and eyes-severe allergic
reactions.
24. Gentamicin
• Extended spectrum aminoglycoside
• Microspora purpurea (micin)

25. Employed mainly in severe infections (sepsis and
pneumonia) caused by gram (-) bacteria in
combination with a cephalosporin or a penicillin.
may be life saving

G for bactericidal activity in endocarditis due to viridans
streptococci or enterococci and in combination with
Nafcillin in selected cases of staphylococcal endocarditis
