2020 Exam 3 Flashcards
- Which drug prevents conversion from angiotensinogen angiotensin I
a. Aliskiren
Aliskerin is a direct renin inhibitor. We know that renin convert angiotensinogen into angiotensin I. Therefore aliskerin prevents renin from converting angiotensinogen into angiotensin I
- What is a side effect of ACE inhibitors due to bradykinin (occurs 10% of the time)
a. Cough
ACE inhibitors stop both ACE (in vasoconstriction) and KININASE II (in vasodialation).
Its affect on Kininase II causes build up of bradykinn and results in a cough and angioedema.
- Which of the following drugs does not have an adverse drug reaction of hyperkalemia
a. Minoxidil
This is because minoxidil opens KATP channels and turns off voltage gated Ca channels
- What receptor results in vasoconstriction, bronchoconstriction, and increased aldosterone secretion when endothelin-1 binds to it
a. Eta
Typically we know endothelins as vasocontrictiors, along with angiotensin II
ETa- is the receptor type that always “constrictions”
ETb- is the receptor that does vasodialtion, and inhibition of platelet aggregation
- What is the effect of nitric oxide
a. Increase in cGMP
compare that to prostaglandin which increases CAMP and decreased CA++
- What activates adenylyl cyclase resulting in an increase in cAMP
a. Prostacyclin
- What results in hair growth
a. Minoxidil
- Sildenafil is a part of what classification
a. PDE-5 inhibitors
- Pulmonary arterial HTN is considered what group by WHO?
Class I
- What drug decreases formation of IP3 through blocking ETa receptors
a. Bosentan
this is an endothelin 1 recptor antagonist: we know endothelin
- What drug can be taken orally, inhaled, IV, or subcutaneously
a. Treprostinil
- What is bad cholesterol
a. LDL
- What is good cholesterol
HDL
- A 50yo lady smokes tobacco, has high blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus. How many risk factors for atherosclerotic disease does she have
a. 3
the risk factors include: men great or = to 45 women older or = to 55 DM Fat hyperlipidemia HTN smoking lazy
- What -statin ha the least amount of drug-drug interaction
a. Pravastatin
