T4: just drogas Flashcards
(120 cards)
hydrocortisone (cortisol) (cortaid)
short-to medium-acting glucocorticoid
anti-inflam: 1.0
mincort: 2+ (potent!)
initial tx of adrenalcortical insufficiency (also anti-inflam, UC)
prednisone (intensol)
short-to medium-acting glucocorticoid
anti-inflam: 4.0
mincort: 1+ (slight but signif)
anti-allergic, AIs, SLE, collagen, skin stuff, edema, endocrine, GI, blood, MS, Ca, eye, resp, rheum, tub. meningitis
methylprednisolone (medrol)
short-to medium-acting glucocorticoid
triamcinolone (nasocort)
Intermediate-acting glucocorticoid
anti-inflam: 5.0
mincort: 0 (none!)
intralesional, allergic rhinitis, eye, asthma, topical, adrcort insuff, endocrine, GI, blood, NS, kidney, rheum, allergic, SLE, resp
dexamethasone (baycadron)
long acting glucocorticoid
anti-inflam: 20-30!!
mincort: 0 (none!)
anti-inflamm., immunosuppr (lots) manage cerebral edema, sep. shock, swelling, dx agent (cushing’s), antiemetic, eye (conjunct), ear (OE)
metyrapone (metopirone)
Glucocorticoid synthesis inhibitor and antagonist
inhibits CYP11B1 (11 β-hydroxylase) which is the enzyme that converts 11-deoxycortisol to cortisol (both cortisol and ald. inhib)
ketoconazole (nizoral)
Glucocorticoid synthesis inhibitor and antagonist, antifungal
inhibits CYP17 (17 α-hydroxylase) and at higher concentrations CYP11A1 (cholesterol–>pregnenolone) effectively blocking all steroid biosynthesis
*most effective inhibitor for Cushing’s disease, acts quickly, can add metyrapone *synergism
fludrocortisone
synthetic mineralocorticoid agonist
both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid activity
- added if using prendnisone/prednisolone or reduced dose hydrocortisone for 1/2 adrenocortical insufficiency (1: Addison’s) (need mineralcort. activity)
- Na+ losing adrenogenital syndrome
spironolactone (aldactone)
glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid antagonists
synthetic c 17- lactone- competes w. aldosterone (kidneys)
mineralcort. activitiy
edema, excessive aldosterone excretion? HTN, CHF etc. hypokalemia
normalize K+ before surgery (and low Na+ diet)
cosyntropin (cortrosyn)
glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, androgen, progesterone and estrogen agonist
synthetic derivative of ACTH
ddx prim. adrenal from secondary (pit) adrenocortical insuff.
aspirin
antiplatelet
irreversible*(for life of platelet) inactivation of COX 1 (endo. cells can resyn. enzyme)
suppr. syn of TXA2 (proaggr) and PGI2 (vadodil.)
(low dose sel. inhibs. TXA2 gen, preserves PGI2 prod.)
tx: prev. ME, ischemic attack, stroke, art. thrombi, vein graft occlusion (160-325 mg)
adverse: abd discomfers, epigastric pain, heartburn, nausea, GI bleeding, operative bleeding (w. warfarin), imp. hemostasis in mom/fetus
dipyridamole (persantine)
antiplatelet
blocks platelet adhesion to the vascular subendo. by inhibiting phosphodiesterase–>inc. cAMP (via inc. AC)
clopidogrel (plavix)
antiplatelet
inhibits ADP binding to receptor (P2Y12 component)–>prevents activation of GPIIb/IIIa, irreversible
tirofiban HCl (aggrastat)
antiplatelet
heparin (hep-lock)
anticoagulant
negatively charged, sulfated mucopolysacchs. (syn. in mast cells, abundant in lungs)
binds lys residues of protease inhib antithrombin III (neg moieties)
inactivates active factor Xa, thrombin (IIa), platelets
fast!
IV, subQ
enoxaparin sodium (lovenox)
anticoagulant (interfere w. fibrin formation, tx for venous thromboembolic disorders-stasis)
protamine sulfate
heparin antagonist used in OD-fast, last 2hrs (1: 100) anticoag. effects of its own (CI?) -arginine, strongly basic, electropositive (hep is neg) adverse: hypotension, anaphylaxis (fish)
warfarin sodium (coumadin)
anticoagulant
block vitamin K (epoxide reductase inhibition) (essential cofactor in the post-translational modification of clotting factors II, VII, IX and X and anticoag proteins C and S)–>unable to bind Ca2+, can’t form thrombin, can’t form clot
need to clear clotting factors for anticoag act. (typ. on heparin 1st), long-acting
lepirudin (refludan)
hirudins (leech)
anticoagulant
65 aa polypep, highly sp. inhib. of thrombin
used when heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
adverse: hypersn, bleeding, pregnancy, no antidote
alteplase (activase)
fibrinolytic
serine protease, sim. to tPA
infusion IV or into iccl. vessel
activates fibrin-bound plasminogen–>plasmin
reverse w/ aminocaproic acid/tranexamic acid
aminocaproic acid (amicar)
fibrinolytic
reverses fibrinolytics
factor VIII (hemofil M, koate)
