• Indications: Trypanosomiasis In the treatment of early-stage Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. Leishmaniasis In the treatment of patients with visceral, diffuse cutaneous, or mucocutaneous leishmaniasis due to L. aethiopica and L. guyanensis who are unresponsive or intolerant to antimony preparations. Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia Pentamidine is also used in the prophylaxis and treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia as a second choice. Pentamidine (Pentam 300) binds to DNA and may inhibit kinetoplast DNA replication and function. It also may act by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase and interfering with polyamine metabolism. An effect on organism respiration, especially at high doses, also may play a role.
• Description: Pentamidine is an aromatic diamine that is effective against protozoal diseases, such as amoebic dysentery, malaria, trypanosomiasis, and leishmaniasis. In clinical studies, it has also been shown to be an effective prophylaxis against pneumocystis pneumonia.
• Uses: antiprotozoal, inhibits nucleic acid & protein synthesis Has been widely used as a drug to treat protozoal diseases, such as malaria, amoebic dysentery and trypanosomiasis. It has also been shown to be effective for both prophylaxis of pneumocystic carinii pneumonia (PCC) Has been widely used as a drug to treat protozoal diseases, such as malaria, amoebic dysentery and trypanosomiasis. It has also been shown to be effective for both prophylaxis of pneumocystic carinii pneumonia (PCC).
• Therapeutic Function: Antiprotozoal
• Clinical Use: Pentamidine is active against Pneumocystis carinii, trypanosomes, and leishmaniasis unresponsive to pentavalent antimonials. It is an alternative agent for the treatment of P. carinii pneumonia. Although it is more toxic than trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole, it has been widely used in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), in whom P. carinii infection is common. Pentamidine is an alternative drug for visceral leishmaniasis, especially when sodium stibogluconate has failed or is contraindicated. Pentamidine is also a reserve agent for the treatment of trypanosomiasis before the CNS is invaded. This characteristic largely restricts its use to Gambian trypanosomiasis. Human African trypanosomiasis (early stages before CNS involvement) Prophylaxis and therapy of Pn. jirovecii pneumonia Visceral leishmaniasis unresponsive to pentavalent antimonials and cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. guyanensis There is limited evidence for its use in the treatment of babesiosis.
