Final Review List Flashcards
Aspirin Drug Class
NSAID
Aspirin mechanisms of action
NSAIDs inhibit COX -> reduced levels of prostaglandin E2 which plays important roles in both peripheral and central sensitization.
COX-1 inhibitor -> reduced synthesis prostaglandins and thromboxanes (TXA2) - platelets can’t create new COX so aspiring can irreversibly effect platlet aggregation - can modify COX-2 to produce asprin-triggered lipotoxin with lipoxygenase which has gastric mucosal protective actions so increased use -> decreased damage overtime
altipamezol drug class
alpha2-adrenergic antagonist
atipamezol mechanism of action
-alpha2-adrenergic antagonist - competitively inhibits alpha2-adrenergic receptors (normally alpha-2 adrenergic receptors inhibit release norepinephrine by up regulating negative feedback loop decreasing release norepinephrine -> sedation an alpha2-adrenergic antagonist inhibits the alpha2-adrenergic receptor inhibiting the inhibition of norepinephrine release -> reversal of sedation
Carprofen drug class
NSAID
carprofen mechanism of action
NSAIDs inhibit COX -> reduced levels of prostaglandin E2 which plays important roles in both peripheral and central sensitization.
inhibition of cyclooxyrgenase, phospholipase A2, and inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis - somewhat COX-1 sparing in dogs -> fewer COX-1 effects - COX-2 specificity depends on species, dose, tissue - not as COX-2 specific in horses and cats
deracoxib drug class
NSAID
deracoxib mechanism of action
NSAIDs inhibit COX -> reduced levels of prostaglandin E2 which plays important roles in both peripheral and central sensitization.
- COXIB class NSAID - predominantly inhibits COX-2 and spare COX-1 (theoretically inhibiting prostaglandins that -> plain and inflammation and sparing those maintaining normal GI and renal fx but not necessarily the case)
Diazepam drug class
benzodiazepine
Diazepam mechanism of action
- enhance inhibitory actions of GABA - interact with specific site on GABAa receptor chloride channel complex that is associated with receptors that contain gama2subunit
Lidocaine drug class
Local Anestetic
Lidocaine mechanism of action
From notes: - Na+ channel blockage sensory afferents and vasculature - have to be inside axon membrane to work; must be uncharged when crossing membrane then have nitrogen in amine protonated once inside axonal membrane and bond to Na+ channel and block it - major effect on axonal conduction of action potential - use dependent blockage
Mepivacane drug class
Local aneshetic
Mepivacane mechanism of action
- Na+ channel blockage sensory afferents and vasculature - have to be inside axon membrane to work; must be uncharged when crossing membrane then have nitrogen in amine protonated once inside axonal membrane and bond to Na+ channel and block it - major effect on axonal conduction of action potential - use dependent blockage
procaine drug class
local anesthetic
procaine mechanism of action
- Na+ channel blockage sensory afferents and vasculature - have to be inside axon membrane to work; must be uncharged when crossing membrane then have nitrogen in amine protonated once inside axonal membrane and bond to Na+ channel and block it - major effect on axonal conduction of action potential - use dependent blockage
tetracaine drug class
local anestetics
tetracaine mechanism of action
- Na+ channel blockage sensory afferents and vasculature - have to be inside axon membrane to work; must be uncharged when crossing membrane then have nitrogen in amine protonated once inside axonal membrane and bond to Na+ channel and block it - major effect on axonal conduction of action potential - use dependent blockage
edrophonium drug class
cholinesterase inhibitor
edrophonium mechanism of action
anticholinesterase agent (aka indirectly acting agonist of acetylcholine) - combines with cholinesterases primarily at catalytic binding site forming rapidly reversible enzyme-inhibitor complex - inhibit AChE -> have more ACh
Meloxicam drug class
NSAID
Meloxicam mechanism of action
NSAIDs inhibit COX -> reduced levels of prostaglandin E2 which plays important roles in both peripheral and central sensitization.
robenacoxib drug class
NSAID
robenacoxib mechanism of action
NSAIDs inhibit COX -> reduced levels of prostaglandin E2 which plays important roles in both peripheral and central sensitization.
COX-2 specific inhibitor
