Nitroglycerin MOA
Forms free nitric oxide (NO) which activate guanylate cyclase (GC) to increase cGMP resulting in smooth muscle relaxation. Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) is the enzyme that releases the NO from organic nitrates. This enzyme can get depleted resulting in “nitrate tolerance” requiring nitrate holiday
NG ADR
Headache, syncope, hypotension, reflex tachycardia,
methemoglobinemia (increased affinity of hemoglobin for ferric iron versus ferrous iron)
NG dental implications
Xerostomia- normal salivary flow resumes upon discontinuation
Monitor for orthostatic hypotension
Isosorbide mononitrate
(ISMN) (Imdur) MOA
Forms free nitric oxide (NO) which activate guanylate cyclase (GC) to increase cGMP resulting in smooth muscle relaxation. Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) is the enzyme that releases the NO from organic nitrates. This enzyme can get depleted resulting in “nitrate tolerance” requiring a nitrate holiday.
long acting oral formulation
Isosorbide mononitrate ADRs
Headache, syncope, hypotension
Isosorbide mononitrate dental implications
none
Isosorbide dinitrate
(ISDN/Isodril) MOA
Forms free nitric oxide (NO) which activate guanylate cyclase (GC) to increase cGMP resulting in smooth muscle relaxation. Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) is the enzyme that releases the NO from organic nitrates. This enzyme can get depleted resulting in “nitrate tolerance” requiring a nitrate holiday. Intermediate-acting oral formulation
Isosorbide dinitrate ADRs
Headache, syncope,
hypotension
Isosorbide dinitrate dental implications
Xerostomia- normal salivary flow resumes
upon discontinuation
Sodium Nitroprusside
(Nitropress)
Only available in what form
IV form
Sodium Nitroprusside
(Nitropress) MOA
Direct donates a NO molecule, which activate guanylate cyclase (GC) to increase cGMP resulting in smooth muscle relaxation. Does not require ALDH2.
Does not exhibit tolerance
Sodium Nitroprusside
(Nitropress) ADRs
Severe hypotension, flushing, reflex tachycardia, methemoglobinemia, thiocyanate toxicity.
Thiocyanate can form in the parenteral fluid due to
exposure to light, product MUST BE PROTECTED form
light. This is more common with higher doses and longer durations of administration
Sodium Nitroprusside
(Nitropress) dental implications?
none
Ranolazine (Ranexa) MOA
Inhibition of late inward sodium current (Ina). Does not affect heart rate or blood pressure
Ranolazine (Ranexa) ADRs
QT prolongation, torsade de pointes, bradycardia,
hypotension, xerostomia
Usually does not affect hemodynamic parameters
Ranolazine (Ranexa) dental implications
Xerostomia- normal salivary flow resumes
upon discontinuation
Ivabradine (Corlanor) approval in US?
Not approved for angina in the United
States- only approved for HF
Ivabradine (Corlanor) MOA
Inhibited the If (funny) channel in the SA node resulting in a reduction in heart rate, without a change in blood pressure
Ivabradine (Corlanor) ADRs
Bradycardia, atrial fibrillation, phosphenes
Ivabradine (Corlanor) dental implications
none
b1 selective blockers
acebutolol
esmolol
atenolol
betaxolol
metopolol
nebivolol
Acebutolol (Sectral) MOA
exhibits what activity?
Competitively blocks β1 adrenergic receptors with little
to no effect on β2 adrenergic receptors.
Exhibits intrinsic sympathomimetic activity
Acebutolol (Sectral) ADRs
Bradycardia, hypotension, dizziness
B1 specific blockers dental implications
Cardio selective beta-blockers do not interact with local anesthetics.
NSAIDs can reduce antihypertensive effects of beta-blockers. Short-term use of NSAIDs (i.e. 3 days) is safe
