38
Dexamethasone
Corticosteroid methylprednisolone + 9-F + 16-methyl (highest DOA, very potent, no water retention, anti-inflammatory!)
39
Ciclosporin
Immunosuppresant - Calcineurin inhibitor
40
Sirolimus
Immunosuppresant - mTOR inhibitor
41
Azathioprine
Immunosuppresant - cytotoxic agent (can cause bone marrow depression: decreased WBC, RBC, platelet etc. levels)
42
Mycophenolate mofetil
Immunosuppresant cytotoxic agent (inhibits IMPDH required for purine synthesis)
43
Fingolimod
Immunosuppresant - S1P receptor agonist (multiple sclerosis) Receptor downregulation, decreased lymphocyte circulation and infiltration into CNS
44
Fluticasone
Anti-asthmatic Inhaled corticosteroid for asthma (anti-inflammatory)
45
Montelukast
Anti-asthmatic Leukotriene (mucus secretion, bronchoconstriction) inhibitor
46
Formoterol
Anti-asthmatic LABA (long acting B2 agonist) - bronchodilation B2 = increased cAMP production = increased Ca2+ = smooth muscle relaxation Typical asthmatic treatment: Formoterol + inhaled corticosteroids
47
Theophylline
Anti-asthmatic drug Inhibits PDE (aka stops cAMP –> 5'AMP conversion) - cAMP: promotes bronchodilation
48
Ipatropium bromide
Anti-asthmatic non-selective SAMA (short acting muscarinic antagonist) - bronchodilation Inhibits M3 = inhibits bronchoconstriction & decreased mucus secretion + inflammation etc.
49
Tiotropium bromide
Anti-asthmatic non-selective LAMA (long acting muscarinic antagonist) for bronchodilation More potent than ipatropium bromide
50
Sildenafil citrate (Viagra)
PDE5 (cGMP specific) inhibitor (shorter DOA, treats erectile dysfunction) SE: blue tinted vision (cross inhibition with PDE6) AVOID with NO producing agents!
51
Tadalafil
PDE5 (cGMP specific) inhibitor (Long DOA, treats erectile dysfunction) AVOID with NO producing agents!
52
Roflumilast
PDE 4 (cAMP specific) inhibitor (COPD)
53
Nitroprusside
NO containing & releasing agent (anti-hypertensive agent!)
54

A form of chemical antagonism (neutralises toxins before reaching receptor; i.e. antagonised in solution)
58
Mannitol
Osmotic diuretics (anti-hypertensive) Increases proximal tubule & loop of Henle osmotic pressure = increased loss of both solute and water
59
Aluminium hydroxide
Antacid (Treats GIT ulcers) Alkali, neutralises gut acidity
60
Magnesium hydroxide
Antacid Alkali, neutralises gut acidity
61
Lidocaine
Na+ channel blocker (Local anaesthetic agent)
62
Verapamil
Ca2+ channel blocker In heart: treats tachyarrhythmia + angina In smooth muscles: treats hypertension (reduces Ca2+ influx = vasodilation)
63
Benzodiazepine
GABA receptor (bind = increase Cl- opening and influx = hyperpolarisation = suppressed neuronal activity) Sedative/anti-anxiety/anaesthetics agonists
64
a-bungarotoxin
Non-depolarising antagonist for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (can cause paralysis)
65
Enalapril
ACE inhibitors (decreases angiotensin II = vasodilation = lower blood pressure) ALSO increases bradykinin (peptide that promotes inflammation), which vasodilates!!
66
Captopril
ACE inhibitors (decreases angiotensin II = vasodilation = lower blood pressure) ALSO increases bradykinin (peptide that promotes inflammation), which vasodilates!!
67
Losartan
AT1 (angiotensin receptor 1) blocker so angiotensin II cannot bind Treats hypertension (similar effectiveness to ACE inhibitors, but lower cough incidence)
68
Valsartan
AT1 (angiotensin receptor 1) blocker so angiotensin II cannot bind Treats hypertension (similar effectiveness to ACE inhibitors, but lower cough incidence)
69
Aliskiren
Renin inhibitor (long DOA - treats hypertension)
70
Desmopressin
V2 selective Vasopressin receptor agonist (long DOA) Treats Diabetes inspidus (no ADH = high volumes of dilute urine) --> Desmopressin stimulates water reabsorption = decreases urine volume to normal volumes
71
