5
Q

Where is histamine stored int he body ?

6
Q

What are triggers for histamine release?

7
Q

What are the histamine receptors

A

Type 1- Gq coupled
Type 2- Gs coupled

8
Q

What type of reaction are type 1 histamine receptors involved in?

A

Gq coupled -> Ca and protein kinase C

Contraction of smooth muscle
Increase bronchial secretion
Inflammation

Relax vascular smooth muscle
Increase capillary permeability

Pruritus

9
Q

What type of reaction are type 2 histamine receptors involved in?

A

Gas-coupled -> adenylyl cyclase -> increase cAMP

Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and increased gastric acid secretion

10
Q

What are targets for antihistamine drugs?

A

Prevent release from mast cells

  • glucocorticoids
  • chromolyn sodium

Histamine antagonist
-catecholamines physiologically antagonize effects

Block histamine receptors

11
Q

Type 1 receptor antagonist will have what effects?

A

Relax bronchiolar and intestinal smooth muscle

Inhibit vasodilation by histamine

Inhibit pruritus (local anesthesia and reduce sensation)

12
Q

What is a common side effect, especially by 1st generation, antihistamines?

A

Sedation

13
Q

How are Type 1 receptor antagonists administered and metabolized?

A

Orally - well distributed

Metabolized by P450

14
Q

How are type 1 receptor antagonists excreted?

A

First gen -> kidney

Second gen -> feces

15
Q

What are the adverse effects of type 1 receptor antagonists?

A
CNS depression 
Antimuscarinic signs (dry mouth and increased IOP)

Drug tolerance
Rarely hypersensitivity

16
Q

What are the first gen type 1 receptor antagonists?

A

Diphenhydramine
Hydroxyzine
Trimeprazine
Ketotifen -ophthalmic

17
Q

What are the second gen type 1 receptor antagonists?

A

Loratadine (human, little info in vet patients)

Most well tolerated

18
Q

What is the primary use of type 2 receptor antagonists?

A

Treat/prevent gastric ulcers and gastritis associated with hyperacidity

19
Q

What are the H2 receptor antagonists?

A

Cimetidine, famotidine, and ranitidine

20
Q

How do Janus-kinase inhibitors have an anti-pruritic effect ?

A

JAK 1 and JAK 3
Inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines
Inhibit IL31-> neuronal sensation of itching

21
Q

What are adverse effects of oclacitinib?

A

GI signs
Polydipsia
Lethargy

22
Q

Oclacitinib is a _____________ used to reduce pruritus

A

Janus kinase inhibitor

23
Q

Leukotriene inhibitors reduce pruritus by? What drug is in this group?

A

Inhibiting IL31

Zafirlukast

24
Q

What are the 4 drugs used to treat behavioural issues that we discussed?

A

Clomipramine
Fluoxetine
Trazodone
Doxepin

25
Q

Benzodiazepines work on the _______ receptor and have what behaviour modifying effect?

A

A2

Anxiolytics
Adjunct therapy if issue is associated with anxiety

26
Q

What is the major side effect to benzodiazepine when used as an anxiolytics?

A

Sedation

27
Q

How doe TCA’s modify behaviour

A

Tricyclics antidepressant

-> increase neurotransmitter level (serotonin and norepi) by preventing reuptake

28
Q

What type of drug is clomipramine?

A

Tricyclics antidepressant

29
Q

Cloipramien should not be used with ??

A
MAO inhibitors (selegiline) 
Aged cheeses (tyramine)
30
Q

When is clomipramine contraindicated?

A

When anticholinergics are contraindicated

Glaucoma
Decreased GI motility
Arrhythmia

31
Q

How does a SSRI modify behaviour?

A

Selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor

Prevent re-uptake of serotonin by the presynaptic neuron -> increase duration (increased level of serotonin)
