Dabei wird die Erfassung von Umfang und Struktur der vertragsärztlichen Arzneimittelverordnungen in Deutschland erst dadurch ermöglicht, dass das anatomisch-therapeutisch-chemische Klassifikationssystem (ATC-System) der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) als wesentliche methodische Grund- lage im Rahmen des GKV-Arzneimittelindex verwendet wird. Durch eine Kooperation zwischen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation und dem Wissenschaftlichen Institut der AOK (WIdO) wurde die Anwendung dieses ATC-Klassifikationssystems zur Untersuchung des Arzneimittelverbrauchs auch für den deutschsprachigen Nutzer ermöglicht. Seit Januar 2001 steht damit auch diesem Nutzerkreis das von der Weltgesundheitsorganisation erstellte und gepflegte anatomisch-therapeutisch-chemische Klassifikations- system (ATC-Code) mit definierten Tagesdosen zusammen mit einer ausführ- lichen Methodikbeschreibung in der deutschsprachigen Übersetzung zur Ver- fügung. Im Januar 2004 wurde die international gültige ATC-Klassifikation der WHO durch das Bundesministerium für Gesundheit und Soziale Sicherung (BMGS) für amtlich erklärt. Diese Fassung wurde 2004 über das Deutsche Institut für Medizinische Dokumentation und Information (DIMDI) zur Verfü- gung gestellt. Zur Weiterentwicklung des Klassifikations-Systems mit definierten Tagesdo- sen und einer Anpassung an die besonderen Gegebenheiten des deutschen Arzneimittelmarktes wurde im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Gesund- heit und Soziale Sicherung (BMGS) eine Arbeitsgruppe beim Kuratorium für Fragen der Klassifikation im Gesundheitswesen eingesetzt, in der die maß- geblichen Fachkreise vertreten sind. Das Bundesministerium für Gesundheit und Soziale Sicherung (BMGS) hat in Zusammenarbeit mit dieser ATC- Arbeitsgruppe im Jahre 2004 beschlossen, bei der Schaffung einer nationalen ATC/DDD-Klassifikation die bereits vorhandene Adaption der WHO- Klassifikation an den deutschen Markt zu Grunde zu legen, die im Rahmen des langjährigen Forschungsprojekts GKV-Arzneimittelindex (GKV-AI) im Wissenschaftlichen Institut der AOK (WIdO) vorliegt. Mit der nun hier vorlie- genden Stellungnahme des GKV-Arzneimittelindex im WIdO wurden die von den pharmazeutischen Herstellern im Rahmen des Anhörungsverfahrens 6 Vorwort eingesammelten Anmerkungen zur bestehenden ATC-Klassifikation und DDD-Festlegung des GKV-Arzneimittelindex inhaltlich geprüft und entspre- chend bewertet. Der GKV-Arzneimittelindex im WIdO wird die Anpassung der ATC-Klassifikation einschließlich der DDD-Angaben auf Beschluss der ATC- Arbeitsgruppe sowie nach Abstimmung mit dem BMGS vornehmen. Diese Fassung kann dann damit 2005 vom BMGS amtlich gemacht werden. Die große Verbreitung der ATC-Klassifikation und DDD-Systematik – sowohl auf nationaler wie auch auf internationaler Ebene – belegt den hohen prakti- schen Nutzen dieser Klassifikation, die nur durch die engagierte Arbeit von Prof. Dr. Uwe Fricke, Dr. Judith Günther und Dr. Anette Zawinell ermöglicht wird. Für ihre engagierte Arbeit möchten wir uns an dieser Stelle bedanken, da nur ihr unermüdlicher Einsatz eine Klassifikationsdatenbank wie die des GKV-Arzneimittelindex – mit inzwischen mehr als 135.000 Arzneimitteleinträ- gen – am Leben erhält sowie die vorliegende Publikation ermöglicht hat. Wir möchten darüber hinaus den pharmakologischen Gutachtern des GKV- Arzneimittelindex Prof. Dr. Björn Lemmer, Prof. Dr. Martin J. Lohse, Dr. Klaus Mengel, Prof. Dr. Gerhard Schmidt und Prof. Dr. Hasso Scholz unseren be- sonderen Dank für die langjährige fachliche Unterstützung aussprechen.

  • Nature Nurtures the Design of New Semi-Synthetic Macrolide Antibiotics
    The Journal of Antibiotics (2017) 70, 527–533 OPEN Official journal of the Japan Antibiotics Research Association www.nature.com/ja REVIEW ARTICLE Nature nurtures the design of new semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotics Prabhavathi Fernandes, Evan Martens and David Pereira Erythromycin and its analogs are used to treat respiratory tract and other infections. The broad use of these antibiotics during the last 5 decades has led to resistance that can range from 20% to over 70% in certain parts of the world. Efforts to find macrolides that were active against macrolide-resistant strains led to the development of erythromycin analogs with alkyl-aryl side chains that mimicked the sugar side chain of 16-membered macrolides, such as tylosin. Further modifications were made to improve the potency of these molecules by removal of the cladinose sugar to obtain a smaller molecule, a modification that was learned from an older macrolide, pikromycin. A keto group was introduced after removal of the cladinose sugar to make the new ketolide subclass. Only one ketolide, telithromycin, received marketing authorization but because of severe adverse events, it is no longer widely used. Failure to identify the structure-relationship responsible for this clinical toxicity led to discontinuation of many ketolides that were in development. One that did complete clinical development, cethromycin, did not meet clinical efficacy criteria and therefore did not receive marketing approval. Work on developing new macrolides was re-initiated after showing that inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by the imidazolyl-pyridine moiety on the side chain of telithromycin was likely responsible for the severe adverse events.

However, (dysfunctioning) neutrophils can also serve as reservoir for pathogens that are able to survive inside the cellular environment. Staphylococcus aureus is a notorious facultative intracellular pathogen. Most vulnerable for neutrophil dysfunction and intracellular infection are immune-deficient patients or, as has recently been described, severely injured patients. These dysfunctional neutrophils can become hide-out spots or “Trojan horses” for S. aureus. This location offers protection to bacteria from most antibiotics and allows transportation of bacteria throughout the body inside moving neutrophils. When neutrophils die, these bacteria are released at different locations. In this review, we therefore focus on the capacity of several groups of antibiotics to enter human neutrophils, kill intracellular S. aureus and affect neutrophil function. We provide an overview of intracellular capacity of available antibiotics to aid in clinical decision making.

They are critically important for animal health and therefore it is highly important that they are used prudently to contain resistance against major animal pathogens. In addition, MLS are listed by WHO (AGISAR, 2009) as critically important for the treatment of certain zoonotic infections in humans and risk mitigation measures are needed to reduce the risk for spread of resistance between animals and humans.

Academic Editor: Claudio O. Gualerzi Received: 31 March 2016; Accepted: 16 May 2016; Published: 27 May 2016 Abstract: Many antibiotics target the ribosome and interfere with its translation cycle. Since translation is the source of all cellular proteins including ribosomal proteins, protein synthesis and ribosome assembly are interdependent. As a consequence, the activity of translation inhibitors might indirectly cause defective ribosome assembly. Due to the difficulty in distinguishing between direct and indirect effects, and because assembly is probably a target in its own right, concepts are needed to identify small molecules that directly inhibit ribosome assembly. Here, we summarize the basic facts of ribosome targeting antibiotics. Furthermore, we present an in vivo screening strategy that focuses on ribosome assembly by a direct fluorescence based read-out that aims to identify and characterize small molecules acting as primary assembly inhibitors. Keywords: protein synthesis as preferential target of antibiotics; ribosome as antibiotic target; inhibitors of ribosome assembly; concepts for identifying assembly inhibitors 1. Introduction Most antibiotics are microbial secondary metabolites mainly produced by actinomycetes.

  • Azalides from Azithromycin to New Azalide Derivatives Stjepan Mutak
    J. Antibiot. 60(2): 85–122, 2007 THE JOURNAL OF REVIEW ARTICLE ANTIBIOTICS Azalides from Azithromycin to New Azalide Derivatives Stjepan Mutak Received: August 22, 2006 / Accepted: January 22, 2007 © Japan Antibiotics Research Association Abstract Azalides are semi-synthetic macrolides, in which a nitrogen atom is introduced into a macrolactone ring via a Beckmann rearrangement. Starting from erythromycin, oximes, depending on the reaction conditions lactams, or bicyclic-imino-ethers were formed, which were further reduced to aminolactones. The cyclic amine 9a- became the precursor for novel, significantly more active derivatives, especially for 9-dihydro-9-deoxo-9a-methyl-9a-aza-9a- homoerythromycin A with the generic name azithromycin. It showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity covering all significant bacteria causing respiratory tract infections. The greatest advantages of azithromycin are its unusual pharmacokinetics (high tissue distribution), metabolic stability and high tolerability. These properties have led in recent years to the widespread use of the azalide scaffold for the synthesis of new compounds with advantageous pharmacokinetics. The azalide scaffold possesses an amino and several hydroxyl groups, which could be substituted or transformed to obtain new compounds. Different derivatives were obtained by substitution on the nitrogen but a large variety of derivatives, such as ethers, esters and carbamates, were made by reactions with various hydroxyl groups. Substitutions on both nitrogen and hydroxyl or two hydroxyl groups yielded new, bridged compounds. The 4Љ- hydroxy group was oxidized to 4-oxo-, which was transformed via the oxime to 4-amino, or via epoxide to 4Љ-methylamino compounds. Cleavage of the cladinose sugar and further transformations gave 3-acyl or 3-oxo compounds, which were less active than 14-membered acylides or ketolides.

Ann Agric Environ Med. 2017; 24(2): 338–344. https://doi.org/10.26444/aaem/74718 Abstract An excessive use of antimicrobial agents poses a risk for the selection of resistant bacteria. Of particular interest are antibiotics that have large consumption rates in both veterinary and human medicine, such as the tetracyclines and macrolide- lincosamide-streptogramin (MLS) group of antibiotics. A high load of these agents increases the risk of transmission of resistant bacteria and/or resistance determinants to humans, leading to a subsequent therapeutic failure. An increasing incidence of bacteria resistant to both tetracyclines and MLS antibiotics has been recently observed. This review summarizes the current knowledge on different tetracycline and MLS resistance genes that can be linked together on transposable elements.

Abstract: Bacteria have evolved an array of mechanisms enabling them to resist the inhibitory effect of antibiotics, a significant proportion of which target the ribosome. Indeed, resistance mechanisms have been identified for nearly every antibiotic that is currently used in clinical practice. With the ever-increasing list of multi-drug-resistant pathogens and very few novel antibiotics in the pharma- ceutical pipeline, treatable infections are likely to become life-threatening once again. Most of the prevalent resistance mechanisms are well understood and their clinical significance is recognized. In contrast, ribosome protection protein-mediated resistance has flown under the radar for a long time and has been considered a minor factor in the clinical setting. Not until the recent discovery of the ATP-binding cassette family F protein-mediated resistance in an extensive list of human pathogens has the significance of ribosome protection proteins been truly appreciated. Understanding the Citation: Ero, R.; Yan, X.-F.; Gao, underlying resistance mechanism has the potential to guide the development of novel therapeutic Y.-G.

Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to analyze A-U to G-C in isogenic mutants of Mycobacterium smegmatis in detail the role of 23S rRNA nucleotides 2058 and 2059 in significantly affects susceptibility to ketolides but does not influ- drug-target interaction; these studies also alluded to the importance ence susceptibility to other macrolide antibiotics.
