Q

Nitrile Group

Binding of Cimetidine to H2Receptor

A

Nitrile group –> Hydrophobic Pocket
Acts as an
EWG = electron withdrawing grou
that renders the
Guanidine group –> LESS BASIC
needed for better activity,
ensures the guanidine group is NOT protonated

Q

Imidazole Ring Structure

Binding of Cimetidine to H2Receptor

A

_1* Amine N Tautomer_ of histamine is
REQUIRED
for binding to the H2Receptor // high affinity

BUT
the imidazole ring can be REPLACED by
other aromatic / heroaromatic groups

cimetidine –> liver elimination (toxicity/DI’s) –> replaced with other molecules

Q

Cimetidine

ADR / Side Effects

A

Anti-Androgenic Properties
&

CYP450 INHIBITION

BOTH are related to the Imidazole Ring
so we REPLACE the ring
do NOT interact with cholinergic receptor or H1 receptors:
have LITTLE to NO AC side effects

Q

Ranitidine / Famotidine / Nizatidine
vs
Cimetidine

A

NO CYP450 INHIBITION / Anti-Adrogenic properties

16
Q
  • *PPI**
  • *MoA**
A
  • *WEAK BASES**
  • IRREVERSIBLE / COVALENT inhibition* of

H+/K ATPase (proton pump)
= last step of acid-secretory pathway

17
Q

How do PPI’s Work?

Irreversible / Covalent Inhibition
of H+/K+ ATPase

A

2nd reaction ONLY OCCURS @ ACIDIC PH
Periteal cell releases HCL, need that acidic environment
SELECTIVE DRUG only active on the stomach / acidic environment
if it worked at a NEUTRAL PH, it could harm other cells that have the CYSbond

Has to be ENTERIC COATED
as to pass the GI tract –> 1st pass then the GI cells
Cause for the SLOW EFFECT

18
Q

DexLansoprazole = Dexilant

A
  • *R-ISOMER**
  • Esomeprazole = S-isomer*

DUAL Delayed Release
combining
Fast = 1-2 hour /// Slow Release = 4-5 hours

19
Q

Revaprazan

PPI

A
  • instead of Covalent/irreversible*
  • *REVERSIBLY Inhibits –> H+/K+ ATPase**

binds @ potassium binding site of proton pump

RAPID onset of action

20
Q

Pantoprazole

A

Vs Omeprazole:
MORE POTENT
&
lower ACUTE TOXICITY

21
Q

RABEPRAZOLE

Aciphex

A

PPI that vs omeprazole has:
FASTER onset of action
&

BUT a Shorter duration of action

22
Q

Esomeprazole
Nexium

A

S-ISOMER vs Omeprazole = R isomer
claims to provide better control of intragastric pH

  • *S-Enantiomer** is metabolized by CYP3A4
    but. …

R-Omeprazole
C-5 Methyl group
–>CYP2C19
which there are some Inter-Individual BV issues,
some CYP2C19 poor metabolizers

23
Q

Prostaglandin Analogues

MoA

A

MISPROSTOL // Enprostl

Binds to the EP3 Receptors
–> INHIBITING the formation of cAMP
resulting in:
Increased Cytoprotection in gastric mucosa
&
PREVENTION of HCL Release

24
Q

PGE = Prostaglandin Analogues
Misoprostol
Enprostil / Ornoprostil / Benexate

ADR / Side Effects

A

UTERINE CONTRACTION
EP3 receptor, misprostol SIMILAR to CARBOPROST (abortifacent)

DIARRHEA
mediated through EP1 / EP3 receptors
Enprostil is more potent @ EP3 receptor, but it also has more affinity for EP1 receptor

25
Q

PGE Analogue Structure

A

Methyl Ester
INCREASES BOTH:
AntiSecretory Potency & DURATION of Action

C-16 Methyl / Hydroxy
confers ORAL activity & EP3 Selectivity

26
Q

Somatostatin Analogues

MoA

Somatosatin is produced in GI in
Antral Mucosal Endocrine Cells

is normally has SHORT half life due to peptidases

A

OCREOTIDE
more stable analogue of somatostatin,
w/ D-AA (not degraded by peptidases)
also used to treat Acromegaly + Esophageal Variceal Bleed

INHIBITS BOTH:
Gastrin & Histamine Secretion

–> inhibiting BOTH g_astric / pepsin secretion_

27
Q

H.Pylori

A

​Bacterial cause for ULCERS

has UREASE which breaks down:

Urea –> Ammonia (NH3) + CO2
thereby reducing acidity of enviroment

28
Q

Antimicrobial Agents for H.Pylori

A

METRONIDAZOLE
also for treatment of vaginal infections + anaerobic bacterial infx

Amoxicillin / Tetracycline

  • *Macrolide ABx**
  • mycin’s
29
Q

How does METRONIDAZOLE WORK?

ABx for H.Pylori

A

Reactive Intermediates are formed during
the microbial reduction of metronidazole (in mito)

Nitro -> Amine
6 step, 1st step forms the Nitro Anion RADICAL
this radical
REACTS w/ DNA of bactaria

Resistance is partly due to decreased level of FERREDOXIN
