Clarithromycin

About Clarithromycin
It is a new macrolide antimicrobial drug.It is the most effective macrolide against Haemophilus influenzae, chlamydia trachomaitis and chlamydia pneumoniae.
Mechanism of Action of Clarithromycin
Clarithromycin is a member of macrolide antibiotic.It binds to the 50S sub unit of bacterial ribosome and inhibits translocation.ie:they interfere with the transfer of the newly formed peptide chain from the A site to the P site and fails to expose the A site .So that A site is unable to bind with the next aminoacyl tRNA complex. This leads to premature termination of amino acid chain and there by inhibits protein synthesis.
Pharmacokinets of Clarithromycin
Absorption: Clarithromycin is completely absorbed after oral administration. Distribution: It is widely distributed in the body .Metabolism: It is metabolized in to active and inactive compound .Excretion: It is excreted through urine.

Tinidazole

About Tinidazole
Nitroimidazole antibiotic, Antibacterial, antiprotozoal.
Mechanism of Action of Tinidazole
Tinidazole is nitro imidazole which has broad spectrum cidal activity against Protozoa and some anaerobic bacteria. Its selective toxicity to anaerobic microbes involves 1. Drug enters the cell by diffusion, 2. Nitro group of drug is reduced by redox proteins present only in anaerobic organisms to reactive nitro radical which excerts cytotoxic action by damaging DNA and other critical biomolecules. 3. .DNA helix destabilization &strand breakage has been observed.

Absorption: Well absorbed orally, Distribution: Widely distributed,
Metabolism: Metabolized in liver by oxidation &glucuronide conjugation, Excretion: Excreted in urine.

Lansoprazole

About Lansoprazole
A proton pump inhibitor, Benzimidazole derivative, Anti ulcer.
Mechanism of Action of Lansoprazole
Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor. It is a prodrug. After administration it diffuses in to the parietal cell of the stomach and accumulates in the secretory canaliculi. In the acidic medium Lansoprazole is converted to sulfenamide. This sulfenamide covalently interacts with sulfhydryl (SH) group in the proton pump
(H+ K+ATPase) and inhibits the exchange of extracellular K+ for intracellular H+ ion. Lansoprazole irreversibly inhibits proton pumps activity and decreases gastric acid secretion.
Pharmacokinets of Lansoprazole
Absorption: Lansoprazole is well absorbed after oral administration.Distribution: It is widely distributed in the body in protein bound form.Metabolism: Lansoprazole is extensively metabolised in the liver.Excretion: It is excreted mainly in the faeces and small amount in urine.
Onset of Action for Lansoprazole
1- 2 hours
