MOA pharm Flashcards
(472 cards)
Digoxin
direct inhibition of Na/K ATPase
- > indirect inhibition of Na/Ca exchanger/ antiporter
- > increased Ca and contractility
Sucrafate
Binds to ulcer base providing PHYSICAL barrier, allowing HCO3 secretion to reestablish
- Bismuth also in this class
Misoprostol
PGE1 analog,
increases production of gastric mucous barrier and decreases acid production
Also used in : cervical ripening/labor inducing, maintaining PDA
Alteplase
tPA
directly aid in conversion of plasminogen to plasmin
->plasmin cleaves thrombin and fibrin clots
Also: reteplase and tenecteplase
Chloroquine
1st line antimalarial unless resistant
Methfloquine
2nd line antimalaria
Primaquine
Added to antimalrial treatment if Vivax or Ovale is suspected
Tx - hypnozoite
Atovaquone
Antimalarial for those allergic to chloroquine, often given w/ primaquine
Also for babesia
Clavulanic Acid/Clavulanate
beta lactamase inhibitor
given w/ amoxicillin or ticacillin
Sulbactam
beta lactamase inhibitor
given w/ ampicillin
Tazobactum
beta lactamse inhibitor
given w/ piperacillin
Lidocaine
blocks preferentially active voltage gated Na channels on the inner side of the channel -> local anesthetic
Amide
penetrated membrane uncharged then binds in charged form - problem w/ infected acidic tissue
may be given w/ vasoconstrictor to potentiate action
Mepivacaine
Amide
Na channel blocker -> local anesthetic
~lidocaine
bupivacaine
Amide
Na channel Blocker -> local anesthetic
Procaine
Ester
Na Channel Blocker -> local anesthetic
Tetracaine
Ester
Na Channel Blocker ->local anesthetic
Cimetidine
Reversible H2 blocker -> lower H secretion from parietal cell
Peptic Ulcer, Gastritis, mild refflux
Also: -‘dines
Ranitidine
Famotidine
Nizatidine
D penicillamine
Chelates copper - wilson’s disease
Terazosin
alpha 1 antagonist
- for BPH and HTN
Tamsulosin
selective alpha 1 antagonist
- BPH alone
vs. Terazosin - nonselective
Vinblastine
alkaloid that binds to tubulin in M phase
Blocks polymerization of microtubules so mitotic spindles cannot form
Vincristine
alkaloid that bind to tubulin in M phase,
Blocks polymerization of microtubules so mitotic spindle cannot form
Paclitaxel
hyper stabilizes polymerized microtubules so mitotic spindle cannot break down
5 fluororuacil
Pyrimidine analog that complexes w/ folic acid
Inhibits thymidate synthase -> less dTMP ad less DNA
SE: myelosuppression and photosynth
