Macrolides: A Canadian Infectious Disease Society position paper

Since the introduction of erythromycin in 1965, no new compounds from the macrolide antimicrobial class were licensed in Canada until the 1990s. Clarithromycin and azithromycin, since their introduction, have become important agents for treating a number of common and uncommon infectious diseases. They have become prime agents in the treatment of respiratory tract infections, and have revolutionized the management of both genital chlamydial infections, by the use of single-dose therapy with azithromycin, and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections, by the use of clarithromycin. The improvement of clarithromycin and azithromycin over the gastrointestinal intolerability of erythromycin has led to supplanting the use of the latter for many primary care physicians. Unfortunately, the use of these agents has also increased the likelihood for misuse and has raised concerns about a resultant increase in the rates of macrolide resistance in many important pathogens, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. This paper reviews the pharmacology and evidence for the current indications for use of these newer agents, and provides recommendations for appropriate use.Key Words: Azithromycin, Clarithromycin, Erythromycin, Macrolides, Review, Therapeutic useErythromycin A is a naturally occurring, microbiologically active compound of the macrolide class of antibiotics. Chemical modification of erythromycin A''s 14-membered lactone ring has led to the formation of semisynthetic derivatives with not only improved bioavailability and tolerability, but also expanded spectrums of microbiological activity and improved pharmacokinetic profiles. Such modifications produced clarithromycin, classified as a macrolide because it retains the central 14-membered lactone ring (1,2), and azithromycin, classified as an azalide due to its 15-membered aglycone ring (1). The latter two compounds are the newest agents in the macrolide class licensed for use in Canada. Roxithromycin and dirithromycin are available in other countries.These compounds are clinically active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative cocci, and Gram-negative bacilli (primarily Haemophilus influenzae, Legionella species, Moraxella catarrhalis, Campylobacter jejuni, Bordatella pertussis and Helicobacter pylori). Azalides such as azithromycin have exhibited superior activity against Gram-negative pathogens and are generally less active against Gram-positive pathogens. Intracellular pathogens such as Chlamydia species, Mycoplasma species, Ureaplasma species, Borrelia species and nontuberculous mycobacteria species show varying susceptibilities. On the basis of their microbial activity, both the macrolides and azalides have been shown to be clinically useful in the treatment of uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections, upper and lower respiratory tract infections, sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis infection and peptic ulcer disease. Additionally, the improved pharmacokinetic profiles and acid stability exhibited by the newer agents may lead to enhanced patient adherence through less frequent dosing and improved bioavailability in the presence of food.     

Molecular heterogeneity in acute leukemia lineage switch

Six cases of acute leukemia that underwent lineage switch from acute lymphocytic leukemia to acute myelogenous leukemia are reported. The mean age of the patients was 24 years, time to conversion was 36 months, and survival after conversion was only 3 months. Of the three cases which showed abnormal metaphases at both diagnosis and conversion, two (cases 2, 5) showed related cytogenetic abnormalities, and the third showed (case 3) independent chromosomal changes. Molecular analysis for immunoglobulin heavy chain and T-cell receptor beta chain genes showed that five of the six cases had rearrangement of at least one of these lymphoid associated genes at conversion to acute myelogenous leukemia. The single case (case 3) in which there were no lymphoid gene rearrangements at conversion was also the only case in which independent karyotypic abnormalities at diagnosis and conversion were demonstrated. Our findings suggest that lineage switch can represent either relapse of the original clone with heterogeneity at the molecular level or the emergence of a second new leukemic clone without molecular heterogeneity.     

Immunoglobulin G from patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia binds to a complex of heparin and platelet factor 4

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an important complication of heparin therapy. Although there is general agreement that platelet activation in vitro by the HIT IgG is mediated by the platelet Fc receptor, the interaction among the antibody, heparin, and platelet membrane components is uncertain and debated. In this report, we describe studies designed to address these interactions. We found, as others have noted, that a variety of other sulfated polysaccharides could substitute for heparin in the reaction. Using polysaccharides selected for both size and charge, we found that reactivity depended on two independent factors: a certain minimum degree of sulfation per saccharide unit and a certain minimum size. Hence, highly sulfated but small (< 1,000 daltons) polysaccharides were not reactive nor were large but poorly sulfated polysaccharides. The ability of HIT IgG to recognize heparin by itself was tested by Ouchterlony gel diffusion, ammonium sulfate and polyethylene glycol precipitation, and equilibrium dialysis. No technique demonstrated reactivity. However, when platelet releasate was added to heparin and HIT IgG, a 50-fold increase in binding of radio-labeled heparin to HIT IgG was observed. The releasate was then depleted of proteins capable of binding to heparin by immunoaffinity chromatography. Only platelet factor 4-immunodepleted releasate lost its reactivity with HIT IgG and heparin. Finally, to determine whether the reaction occurred on the surface of platelets or in the fluid phase, washed platelets were incubated with HIT IgG or heparin and after a wash step, heparin or HIT IgG was added, respectively. Reactivity was only noted when platelets were preincubated with heparin. Consistent with these observations was the demonstration of the presence of PF4 on platelets using flow cytometry. These studies indicate that heparin and other large, highly sulfated polysaccharides bind to PF4 to form a reactive antigen on the platelet surface. HIT IgG then binds to this complex with activation of platelets through the platelet Fc receptors.
