(111 cards)
Chloropheniramine
Inhibit H1 and cholinergic receptors
Diphenhydramine
Inhibit H1 and cholinergic receptors
Dimenhydrinate
Inhibit H1 and cholinergic receptors
Loratadine
Selective H1 inhibition
Cetirizine
Selective H1 inhibition
Fexofenadine
Selective H1 inhibition
Cromolyn Sodium
directly inhibits mast cell degranulation (ion channel blockers)
Aldosterone
Binds to mineralocorticoid receptor
↑Na Channels and Na uptake into the cell
Glucocorticoids
↑Annexan A1 (which inhibits PLA2)
↓cytokine synthesis (TNF α )
↓Production of prostaglandin/leukotriene products (Cox 2)
11β-HSD2
inactivates cortisol by converting it to cortisone
Omalizumab
Binds to FC portion of IgE to block its ability to bind to mast cell
Montelukast
leukotriene receptor antagonist inhibits bronchoconstriction
Theophylline
Inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase in smooth muscle
Ipratropropium Bromide
Block affects of Ach release from vagus on M3
↓smooth muscle contraction and mucus secretion
Tiotropium
Block affects of Ach release from vagus on M3
↓smooth muscle contraction and mucus secretion
Albuterol (SABA)
Bind to β2 and prevents Ca from coming in cell to relax smooth muscle causing airways to open
Inhibit release of mast cell mediators
Salmeterol (LABA)
Bind to β2 and prevents Ca from coming in cell to relax smooth muscle causing airways to open
Inhibit release of mast cell mediators
Fluticasone
Blocks gene transcription (cytokines, chemokines)
↓Inflammatory cells (cytokines)
↑β2 receptors
Prazosin
reversible α1 receptor blocker only
Phenoxybenzamine
irreversible α1 receptor blocker
somewhat selective over α2
Phentolamine
non-selectively blocks α1 and α2
Pindolol
↓CO, ↓plasma renin release and ↓ central sympathetic tone
Acebutolol
↓CO, ↓plasma renin release and ↓ central sympathetic tone
Propanolol
↓CO, ↓plasma renin release and ↓ central sympathetic tone
