Isoniazid, marketed under numerous brand names, including Hydra among others, also known as isonicotinylhydrazide (or INH), is an organic compound that is the first-line medication in prevention and treatment of tuberculosis. Isoniazid is available in tablet, syrup, and injectable forms (given intramuscularly or intravenously).
The compound was first synthesized in the early 20th century,[1] but its activity against tuberculosis was first reported in the early 1950s, and three pharmaceutical companies attempted unsuccessfully to patent the drug simultaneously,[2] the most prominent one being Roche, which launched its version, Rimifon, in 1952.[3] With the introduction of isoniazid, a cure for tuberculosis was first considered to be possible. It is available worldwide, is inexpensive, and is generally well tolerated. It is on the World_Health_Organization's_List_of_Essential_Medicines, a list of medicines that constitute the bare minimum for a basic health system.[4]
Side effects
[edit] | This section needs additional citations for verification. (May 2014) |
Adverse reactions include Rash, abnormal Liver_function_tests, Hepatitis, Sideroblastic_anemia, High_anion_gap_metabolic_acidosis, Peripheral_neuropathy, mild central nervous system (CNS) effects, drug interactions resulting in increased Phenytoin (Dilantin) or Disulfiram (Antabuse) levels, intractable seizures (Status_epilepticus) and Drug-induced_lupus_erythematosus.[citation needed]
Peripheral_neuropathy and CNS effects are associated with the use of isoniazid and are due to Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) depletion, but are uncommon at doses of 5 mg/kg.[citation needed] Persons with conditions in which neuropathy is common (e.g., Diabetes, Uremia, Alcoholism, Malnutrition, and HIV infection), as well as Pregnant women and persons with a Seizure disorder, may be given pyridoxine (10–50 mg/day) with isoniazid.
Isoniazid may cause severe and sometimes fatal liver damage.[citation needed] Hepatotoxicity can be avoided with close clinical monitoring of the patient, to be specific, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. Isoniazid is metabolized by the liver mainly by Acetylation and dehydrazination. The N-acetylhydrazine metabolite is believed to be responsible for the hepatotoxic effects seen in patients treated with isoniazid. The rate of acetylation is genetically determined. About 50% of Black and Caucasian people are slow inactivators; the majority of Inuit and Asians are rapid inactivators. The half-life in fast acetylators is one to two hours, while in slow acetylators, it is two to five hours. Elimination is largely independent of renal function, but the half-life may be prolonged in liver disease. The rate of acetylation has not been shown to significantly alter the effectiveness of isoniazid. However, slow acetylation may lead to higher blood concentrations with chronic administration of the drug, with an increased risk of toxicity. Fast acetylation leads to higher blood levels of the toxic metabolite acetylisoniazid and thus to an increase in toxic reactions - hepatitis which is 250 times more common than in slow acetylators. Isoniazid and its metabolites are excreted in the urine, with 75 to 95% of the dose excreted in 24 hours. Small amounts are also excreted in saliva, sputum, and feces. Isoniazid is removed by hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.[5]
Headache, poor concentration, weight gain, poor memory, insomnia, and depression have all been associated with isoniazid use.[citation needed] All patients and healthcare workers should be aware of these serious adverse effects, especially if suicidal thinking or behavior are suspected.[6][7][8]
INH is known to reduce cytochrome P450, and in theory promotes the efficacy of contraceptives.[citation needed] Therapy is often combined with Rifampin. Rifampin increases the P450 enzyme and also can reduce the efficacy of contraceptives. Alternative means of birth control should be used when taking these medications.
As previously mentioned, isoniazid is associated with pyridoxine deficiency. Pyridoxyl phosphate (derivative of pyridoxine) is required for d-aminolevulinic acid synthase, the enzyme responsible for the rate-limiting step in heme synthesis. As such, isoniazid-induced pyridoxine deficiency leads to insufficient heme formation in early red blood cells, leading to Sideroblastic_anemia.
Mechanism of action
[edit]Isoniazid is a Prodrug and must be activated by a bacterial catalase-peroxidase enzyme that in Mycobacterium_tuberculosis is called KatG.[9] KatG couples the isonicotinic acyl with NADH to form isonicotinic acyl-NADH complex. This complex binds tightly to the Enoyl-acyl_carrier_protein_reductase known as InhA, thereby blocking the natural enoyl-AcpM substrate and the action of Fatty_acid_synthase. This process inhibits the synthesis of Mycolic_acid, required for the mycobacterial cell wall. A range of radicals are produced by KatG activation of isoniazid, including Nitric_oxide,[10] which has also been shown to be important in the action of another antimycobacterial prodrug Pretomanid.[11]
Isoniazid is Bactericidal to rapidly dividing mycobacteria, but is Bacteriostatic if the mycobacteria are slow-growing.[12] It inhibits the P450_system and hence acts as a source of free radicals.[13]
Metabolism
[edit]Isoniazid reaches therapeutic concentrations in serum, Cerebrospinal_fluid, and within caseous granulomas. It is metabolized in the liver via Acetylation. Two forms of the enzyme are responsible for acetylation, so some patients metabolize the drug more quickly than others. Hence, the Half-life is bimodal, with peaks at one and three hours in the US population. The metabolites are excreted in the urine. Doses do not usually have to be adjusted in case of Renal_failure.
Manufacture
[edit]Isoniazid is manufactured from Isonicotinic_acid, which is produced from 4-methylpyridine.[14]
History
[edit]The drug was first tested at Many Farms, a Navajo community, due to the Navajo reservation's tuberculosis problem and because the population had not previously been treated with Streptomycin, the main tuberculosis treatment at the time.[15]
