Beschreibung
Pyrazinamide was synthesized in 1952, and it is the nitrogen-analog of nicotinamide. It
exhibits hepatotoxicity. Synonyms of this drug are dexambutol, miambutol, esnbutol, ebutol, and others.
Chemische Eigenschaften
Crystalline Solid
Verwenden
Pyrazinamide is used therapeutically as an antitubercular agent. Pyrazinamide is used to form polymeric copper complexes, create pyrazine carboxamide scaffolds useful as FXs inhibitors, and as a component of mycobacteria identification kits. It is used to study liver toxicity prevention and mechanisms of resistance .
Indications
Pyrazinamide is a synthetic analogue of nicotinamide.
Its exact mechanism of action is not known, although
its target appears to be the mycobacterial fatty acid synthetase involved in mycolic acid biosynthesis.
Pyrazinamide requires an acidic environment, such as
that found in the phagolysosomes, to express its tuberculocidal
activity. Thus, pyrazinamide is highly effective
on intracellular mycobacteria. The mycobacterial enzyme
pyrazinamidase converts pyrazinamide to pyrazinoic
acid, the active form of the drug.A mutation in the
gene (pncA) that encodes pyrazinamidase is responsible
for drug resistance; resistance can be delayed
through the use of drug combination therapy.
Antimicrobial activity
It is principally active against actively metabolizing intracellular
bacilli and those in acidic, anoxic inflammatory lesions.
Activity against M. tuberculosis is highly pH dependent: at pH
5.6 the MIC is 8–16 mg/L, but it is almost inactive at neutral
pH. Other mycobacterial species, including M. bovis, are resistant.
Activity requires conversion to pyrazinoic acid by the
mycobacterial enzyme pyrazinamidase, encoded for by the
pncA gene, which is present in M. tuberculosis but not M. bovis.
A few resistant strains lack mutations in pncA, indicating alternative
mechanisms for resistance, including defects in transportation
of the agent into the bacterial cell.
Acquired resistance
Drug resistance is uncommon and cross-resistance to other
antituberculosis agents does not occur. Susceptibility testing
is technically demanding as it requires very careful control of
the pH of the medium, but molecular methods for detection
of resistance-conferring mutations are available.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Pyrazinecarboxamide (PZA) occurs as a white crystalline powder that is sparingly soluble in water and slightly soluble in polar organic solvents. Its antitubercular properties were discovered as a result of an investigation of heterocyclic analogs of nicotinic acid, with which it is isosteric. Pyrazinamide has recently been elevated to first-line status in short-term tuberculosis treatment regimens because of its tuberculocidal activity and comparatively low short-term toxicity. Since pyrazinamide is not active against metabolically inactive tubercle bacilli, it is not considered suitable for long-term therapy. Potential hepatotoxicity also obviates long-term use of the drug. Pyrazinamide is maximally effective in the low pH environment that exists in macrophages (monocytes). Evidence suggests bioactivation of pyrazinamide to pyrazinoic acid by an amidase present in mycobacteria.
Air & Water Reaktionen
Water soluble.
Reaktivit?t anzeigen
Pyrazinamide is a carbamate ester. Incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. May react with active metals or nitrides to produce flammable gaseous hydrogen. Incompatible with strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides.
Pharmazeutische Anwendungen
Like isoniazid, pyrazinamide is a synthetic nicotinamide analog,
although its mode of action is quite distinct.
Pharmakokinetik
Oral absorption: >90%
C
max 20–22 mg/kg oral: 10–50 mg/L after 2 h
Plasma half-life: c. 9 h
Plasma protein binding: c. 50%
It readily crosses the blood–brain barrier, achieving CSF
concentrations similar to plasma levels. It is metabolized to
pyrazinoic acid in the liver and oxidized to inactive metabolites,
which are excreted in the urine, although about 70% of
an oral dose is excreted unchanged.
Pharmakologie
Pyrazinamide is well absorbed from the GI tract and
is widely distributed throughout the body. It penetrates
tissues, macrophages, and tuberculous cavities and has
excellent activity on the intracellular organisms; its
plasma half-life is 9 to 10 hours in patients with normal
renal function. The drug and its metabolites are excreted
primarily by renal glomerular filtration.
Clinical Use
Pyrazinamide is an essential component of the multidrug
short-term therapy of tuberculosis. In combination
with isoniazid and rifampin, it is active against the
intracellular organisms that may cause relapse.
Nebenwirkungen
Hepatotoxicity is the major concern in 15% of pyrazinamide
recipients. It also can inhibit excretion of urates,
resulting in hyperuricemia. Nearly all patients taking
pyrazinamide develop hyperuricemia and possibly acute
gouty arthritis. Other adverse effects include nausea,
vomiting, anorexia, drug fever, and malaise. Pyrazinamide
is not recommended for use during pregnancy.
l?uterung methode
The amide crystallises from water, EtOH or 1:1 hexane/EtOH in four modifications viz -form, -form, -form and form. [R. & S.rum Acta Cryst 28B 1677 1972, Beilstein 25 III/IV 772.]
