hepatotoxic
Natural opiate analogs (2)
mech, admin, use
morphine, codeine
RECEPTOR AGONIST: activates opiate receptors
morphine admin IV; codeine admin oral (no first pass)
morphine is a painkiller
codeine partial opiate agonist; ↓nantinociceptive, ↑anticoughing
sodium valproate
mech, SE (5), use
↑GABA breakdown
↓GABA synthesis: ENZYME INHIBITOR
inhibits Na+ and Ca++ channels: CHANNEL BLOCKER
GI upset; CNS sedation; tremors; potentially fatal hepatitis fetal damage (↓IQ)
antiepileptic for all siezure types
pralidoxime
use?
reverses permanent damage due to Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors
Cyclosporine
mech, use, SE (7)
binds to CYCLOPHYLLIN protein→COMPLEX inhibits calcineurin phosphatase
eventually incapacitates T-Cells
tx transplants, psoriasis, dry eye
metab by CYP450
nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity
cosmetic changes: hypertrichosis, gingival hyperplasia
↑cholesterol, mild HTN
the methylxanthine used for asthma
mech, SE (5)
theophylline
inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase ENZYME (relaxes smmm by ↓cAMP breakdown)
♥ arrythmias (from heart stimulation)
CNS: tremors, insomnia, seizures
GI upset
bleomycin
mech, SE
intercalates with DNA→strand breakage
pulmonary fibrosis
NIBs
mechanism
kinase inhibitors
ß1 receptor agonists (2)
norepinephrine, dobutamine
leuprolide
mech, use
stimulates GnRH receptor→initially ↑testosterone, then downregulates receptor and then ↓↓↓testosterone synthesis
tx prostate tumors
glucocorticoids used for asthma tx (7)
mech? clinical use? admin? SE (2)?
beclomethasone, budesonide, fluticasone, mometasone, ciclesonide (all inhaled)
prednisone, dexamethasone (not inhaled)
bind to intracellular receptors→alter DNA trxn→↑lipocortin→inhibits PLA2 synth
DOC for chronic asthma
infections in mouth (thrush), dysphonia (abnormal speech)
celecoxib
mech, use, SE
specific COX2 inhibitor
used to treat arthritis
↑MI, ↑stroke due to greater effect of drug on PGI2 than TXA2
heparin
mech, admin, SEs (3), OD tx
ENZYME ACTIVATOR: activates blood LPLases;
↑↑↑affinity of antithrombin III for factors II, IX, XI, XII→ inhibited coagulation
admin IV or subq (too big to be absorbed)
↑bleeding
heparin induced thrombocytopoenia (HIT)
osteoporosis
OD tx with protamine sulfate/heparinase
What are the general effects of opioids? Which are the most severe?
CNS (8)
Systemic (6)
CNS: profound analgesia, mild sedation, euphoria/↑mood, nausea (stim CNS chemorec), ↓respiration (chief COD!!!!), ↓cough reflex, pinpoint pupils (stim. Edinger-Westphal nuc.), moderate hyperthermia
systemic: severe constipation, skin flushing (vasodil.), orthostatic hypotension (vasodil.), ↑CSF pressure, bronchoconstriction (histamine release), itching (histamine release)
highest potency glucocorticoids
dexamethasone, betamethasone
ISA:25
MCA: 0.01
duration 36-54h
barbiturate used to treat siezures
mech, clinical use, SE
phenobarbital
ACTIVATES GABAergic neuron
for all but petit mal siezures
drowsiness, sedation
STRONG CYP450 INDUCER
What is the mechanism of action for glucocorticoids?
enter target cell and binds to cytoplasmic receptor
steroid-receptor complex dimerizes and binds to steroid response element in DNA
lipocortin I is induced→activity of phospholipase A2 is inhibited
↓↓synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes→inhibits immune response
phosphodiesterase inhibitors (2)
mech
cilostazol, dipyridamole
ENZYME INHIBITOR: inhibits phosphodiesterase→↓cAMP breakdown→↓platelet activation
What agent activates all adrenergic receptors?
epinephrine activates all α and ß receptors
formulas for:
elimination constant
half-life
volume of distribution
clearance
amount of drug at equilibrium
concentration of drug at equilibrium
loading dose
0.693=Ke*T1/2
C(dose-response)=dose/Vd
CL=Ke*Vd
Aeq=(1.44*(T1/2)*(dose))/(dose interval)
Ceq=(1.44*(T1/2)*(dose))/(Vd*dose interval)
Ceq*Vd=LD
Name the primary cause of microcytic anemia? How is it treated? What are the symptoms of an overdose of this agent ,and how is this treated?
primary cause is excessive Fe loss (can also be due to insufficient dietary intake, decreased absorption, or increased Fe requirements)
treated with oral/parenteral Ferrous sulfate (FeSO4)
acute OD tx with deferroxamine
chronic OD with phlebotomy
heparin analogs (3)
differences from heparin
enoxaparin, dalteparin, fondaparinux
