Q

Bosentan

Study These Flashcards
A

Non specific Endothelin 1 antagonist

Treat pulmonary arterial hypertension

20
Q

Streptokinase

Study These Flashcards
A

Clot lysis
Binds plasminogen activator and generates plasmin
Degradation of fibrin in clots and breakdown of clotting factors 2, 5, 7

21
Q

Anistreplase

Study These Flashcards
A

Combination of plasminogen and anisoylated streptokinase
Inactive until anisoyl group removed in blood
More prolonged activity

22
Q

Alteplase

Study These Flashcards
A

Recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator
Single chain
Greater activity on plasminogen bound to fibrin in clots - localising action

23
Q

Aspirin

Study These Flashcards
A

Alongside clot lysis therapies
Prevent further thrombosis
Can cause GI bleeding by influencing gastric acid secretion

24
Q

Clopidogrel

Study These Flashcards
A

With aspirin, alongside clot lysis therapies
Inhibits platelet aggregation by inhibiting ADP binding to receptor on platelets
Improves morbidity and mortality in heart disease patients

25
Eptifibatide
Inhibitor of glycoprotein 2b/3a receptor(receptor needed for fibrinogen bridging between platelets) Cyclic heptapeptide inhibitor Prevention of myocardial infarction in patients with unstable angina
26
Tirofiban
Inhibitor of glycoprotein 2b/3a receptor (receptor needed for fibrinogen bridging between platelets) Non-peptide inhibitor Prevention of myocardial infarction in patients with unstable angina
27
Heparin
Natural anticoagulant produced by basophils and mast cells Binds to enzyme inhibitor anti-thrombin 3 (AT3) exposing active site Activated AT3 inactivates thrombin and factor Xa Used for unstable angina, treat deep vein thrombosis and as a prophylactic drug to prevent clots
28
Warfarin
Inhibits clotting, given orally Inhibits synthesis of clotting factors 2, 7, 9 and 10 and regulatory factors protein C, S and Z Prevent clotting on prosthetic heart valves Interacts with many other chemicals Rodenticide
29
Dabigatran
Thrombin inhibitor | In patients with atrial fibrillation and one additional risk factor for stroke.
30
Aminocaproic acid
Similar to lysine, competitively inhibits plasminogen activation Inhibits severe bleeding caused by excessive clot lysis
31
Tranexamic acid
aminocaproic acid analogue Similar to lysine, competitively inhibits plasminogen activation Inhibits severe bleeding caused by excessive clot lysis
32
Renin
Production of angiotensin2
33
Furosemide
Loop diuretic 'High ceiling' - high rate of diuresis Sulphonamide Blocks NaK2Cl co transport in apical membrane thick ascending limb Weak inhibition of carbonic anhydrase Venodilation, reduce atrial filling pressure Increase renal blood flow without a change in GFR Ca Mg and K loss Metabolic alkalosis Uric acid excretion decreased --> gout
34
Bumetanide
Loop diuretic 'High ceiling' - high rate of diuresis Sulphonamide
35
Hydrochlorothiazide
Thiazide diuretic Some inhibition of carbonic anhydrase Cortical segment of thick ascending limb Distal tubule - block NaCl co transport Vasodilator effects by diuretic action and directly acting on vessels Metabolic alkalosis Hypokalaemia - cant use with cardiac glycosides, as potentiate action Increase Mg excretion but not Ca Uric acid excretion decreased --> gout
36
Bendroflumethiazide
Thiazide diuretic Some inhibition of carbonic anhydrase Cortical segment of thick ascending limb Distal tubule - block NaCl co transport Vasodilator effects by diuretic action and directly acting on vessels Metabolic alkalosis Hypokalaemia - cant use with cardiac glycosides, as potentiate action Increase Mg excretion but not Ca Uric acid excretion decreased --> gout
37
Amiloride
Potassium sparing diuretic Prevent Na reabsorption by blocking apical Na channels K is not drawn into lumen as no gradient created Weak diuretic effect
38
Triamterene
Potassium sparing diuretic Prevent Na reabsorption by blocking apical Na channels K is not drawn into lumen as no gradient created Weak diuretic effect
39
Acetazolamide
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor Inhibit NaHCO3 reabsorption in proximal and distal tubules NaHCO3 reabsorption is driven by the NaKATPase pump CAinhibitors decrease the availability of H, K loss is increased Therapeutic use in glaucoma Suppress HCO3 secretion, which forms aqueous humour in eye Excessive loss leads to metabolic acidosis
40
Mannitol
Osmotic diuretic Filtered at glomerulus but not reabsorbed Retain their osmotic equivalent of water so increase urine volume Used when urine flow reduced because low GFR causes excessive reabsorption of salt and water Maintain urine flow Rapidly reduces intracranial and intraocular pressure - does not cross BBB
41

ACE inhibitor - antagonism of renin-angiotensin system | Antihypertensive
42
Enalapril
ACE inhibitor - antagonism of renin-angiotensin system Antihypertensive Converted in liver to active metabolite - enalaprilat
