It also discusses second-line drugs including para-amino salicylic acid, ethionamide, cycloserine and thiacetazone. The document aims to inform readers about different drug options for treating TB.
Mycology is the study of fungi. The name “fungi” is derived from “mykos” meaning mushroom. The fungi are eukaryotic organisms and they differ from the bacteria, which are prokaryotic organisms, in many ways (Table 71-1). The fungi possess rigid cell walls, which possess two characteristic cell structures: chitin and ergosterol.

Parasitic infections are caused by organisms that live and feed off another organism, known as the host, often causing harm in the process. These parasites can be single-celled organisms like protozoa or multicellular organisms like helminths (worms). Types of Parasitic Infections:
1. Protozoal Infections: Caused by single-celled organisms such as Plasmodium (malaria), Giardia lamblia (giardiasis), Entamoeba histolytica (amebiasis), and Trypanosoma (sleeping sickness, Chagas disease).
2. Helminthic Infections: Caused by parasitic worms including nematodes (roundworms), trematodes (flukes), and cestodes (tapeworms). Examples include Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm), Schistosoma (schistosomiasis), and Taenia solium (tapeworm).
3. Ectoparasitic Infections: Caused by organisms that live on the external surface of the host's body, such as lice, fleas, ticks, and mites.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. ANTITUBERCULAR AGENTS
INTRODUCTION
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease usually caused by Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (MTB) bacteria. Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection spread through
inhaling tiny droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected person. It mainly
affects the lungs, but it can affect any part of the body, including the tummy (abdomen)
glands, bones and nervous system.
3. Symptoms of TB
Typical symptoms of TB include:
A persistent cough that lasts more than three weeks and usually brings up phlegm, which
may be bloody
Weight loss
Night sweats
High temperature (fever)
Tiredness and fatigue
Loss of appetite
Swellings in the neck
4. Definition of Antitubercular drugs:
CLASSIFICATION
According to clinical utility the anti TB drugs can be divided into two classes.
The drugs which are used in the treatment of Tuberculosis are known as Antitubercular drugs.
FIRST line drugs [HRZSE]
• F Field defects causing drug i.e. Ethambutol [E]
• I Isoniazid (INH) [H]
• R Rifampicin [R]
• S Streptomycin [S]
• T Twice a day given drug i.e. Pyrazinamide [Z]
(All other first line antitubercular are given once a day)
5. SECOND line drugs
• S Salicylates like Para-amino salicylate
• E Ethionamide
• C Cycloserine
• O Old drug: Thioacetazone
• N Newer Drugs:
Quinolones e.g. Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, gatifloxacin and
Moxifloxacin Macrolides e.g. Clarithromycin, Azithromycin
• D Drugs rarely used: Aminoglycosides e.g. Capreomycin, Kanamycin, and Amikacin
• Rifabutin
6. ISONIAZID (INH) [H]
Adverse Effects:
Mild increase Liver Function Tests (10-20%),
Peripheral neuropathy (dose related incidence, 10-20%
incidence with 10 mg/kg/d), Loss of appetite, Nausea,
Vomiting, Stomach pain, Weakness.
Dizziness, Slurred speech, Lethargy, Progressive liver
damage (increases with age; 2.3% in pts > 50 yrs),
Hyperreflexia. Agranulocytosis, Anemia, Megaloblastic
anemia, Thrombocytopenia, Seizure.

Isoniazid
USES:
1. Isoniazid is used with other medications to
treat active tuberculosis (TB) infections. It is
also used alone to prevent active TB
infections in people who may be infected
with the bacteria (people with positive TB
skin test).
2. Isoniazid is an antibiotic and works by
stopping the growth of bacteria.
3. This antibiotic treats only bacterial
infections. It will not work for viral
infections (such as common cold, flu).
7. Mechanism of Action:
Inhibits synthesis of mycolic acids – essential components of mycobacterial cell walls. Its prodrug activated by enzyme
catalase-peroxidase. The activated form of isoniazid - forms a covalent complex with an inh-A (Acyl carrier protein -AcpM)
and KasA, a ß-ketoacyl carrier protein synthetase, which blocks mycolic acid synthesis and kills the cell.
9. Mechanism of Action:
Ethambutol inhibits mycobacterial arabinosyl transferases. Arabinosyl transferases are
involved in the polymerization reaction of arabinoglycan, an essential component of the
mycobacterial cell wall.
Adverse Effects:
Acute gout or hyperuricemia, Abdominal pain, Anaphylaxis, Confusion, disorientation,
Fever, Headache, LFT abnormalities, Malaise, Nausea, Optic neuritis; symptoms may
include decreased acuity, color blindness or visual defects (usually reversible with
discontinuation), Peripheral neuritis, Rash.
10. PYRAZINAMIDE
Synthesis:
Uses:
Pyrazinamide is used with other medications to treat tuberculosis (TB).
It is an antibiotic and works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections.
It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu).

11. Mechanism of Action:
Pyrazinamide's exact mechanism of action is not known. Susceptible strains release
pyrazinamidase, which converts PZA to pyrazinoic acid (POA). POA decreases the pH
below that which retards the growth of M. tuberculosis and inhibiting the fatty acid
synthesis. Studies indicate that PZA is most effective in the initial stages of treatment, which
may be the result of diminished organism populations in macrophages early in therapy.
Adverse Effects:
Malaise, Nausea, Vomiting, Anorexia, Arthralgia, Myalgia.
Fever, Rash, Itching, Acne, Photosensitivity, Gout, Dysuria, Porphyria, Thrombocytopenia,
Hepatotoxicity, Interstitial nephritis.
12. RIFAMPICIN
Uses:
Rifampicin is used for the treatment of tuberculosis in combination with other antibiotics, such
as pyrazinamide, isoniazid, and ethambutol for the treatment of tuberculosis, it is administered
daily for at least 6 months. Combination therapy is used to prevent the development of
resistance and to shorten the length of treatment.

Mechanism of Action:
Irreversibly inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is inhibited in at least three
ways:
1. Interference with the initiation complex of peptide formation.
2. Misreading of mRNA, which causes incorporation of incorrect amino acids into the peptide,
resulting in a nonfunctional or toxic protein.
3. Breakup of polysomes into nonfunctional monosomes.
14. Uses:
Streptomycin is an antibiotic medication used to treat a number of bacterial infections. This
includes tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium complex, endocarditis, brucellosis,
Burkholderia infection, plague, tularemia, and rat bite fever.
In veterinary medicine, streptomycin is the first-line antibiotic for use against gram negative
bacteria in large animals (horses, cattle, sheep, etc.). It is commonly combined with procaine
penicillin for intramuscular injection. Tularemia infections have been treated mostly with
streptomycin.

PAS
PARA-AMINO SALICYLIC ACID:
Synthesis:
Uses:
4-Aminosalicylic acid, also known as Para-Amino Salicylic acid (PAS) is primarily used to
treat tuberculosis.
Specifically it is used to treat active drug resistant tuberculosis together with other
antituberculosis medications.
PAS has also been used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, but has been
superseded by other drugs such as sulfasalazine and mesalazine.
16. Mechanism of action:
Aminosalicylic acid is a folate synthesis antagonist that is active almost exclusively against
mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is structurally similar to p-amino benzoic acid (PABA) and
the
Sulfonamides.
Adverse Effects:
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, goiter with or without myxedema,
hypersensitivity (eg, fever, skin eruptions, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic
anemia, jaundice, hepatitis, encephalopathy, Loffler syndrome, vasculitis).
17. ETHIONAMIDE:
Synthesis:
Uses:
Ethionamide is used in combination with other antituberculosis agents as part of a second-
line regimen to treat tuberculosis (TB). The antimicrobial spectrum of ethionamide
includes M. tuberculosis, M. bovis and M. segmatis.
This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as
common cold, flu).

18. Mechanism of action:
Ethionamide is a prodrug which is activated by the enzyme ethA, a mono-oxygenase in
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and then binds NAD+ to form an adduct which inhibits InhA
(enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase enzyme) in the same way as isoniazid. The mechanism
of action is thought to be through disruption of mycolic acid
Adverse Effects:
Disorder of gastrointestinal tract (50%), Postural hypotension, Dizziness, Drowsiness,
Headache
Peripheral neuropathy, Psychosis.
19. CYCLOSERINE
Synthesis:
Uses:
Cycloserine used exclusively to treat tuberculosis caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis
resistant to first line agents.
Cycloserine is also sometimes used to treat urinary tract and other types of infections that
have not responded to other treatments.
