24 - GI MedChem Flashcards
Pathophysiology of
Acid-Peptic Disease
Imbalance between:
Aggressive Factors
Acid + Pepcin
&
Local Mucosal Defenses
Bicarbonate + Mucus
Gastrin
DIRECTLY
promotes the Release of ACID
&
Starts the Histamine Cycle
which is the WORK HORSE –> actually does the MOST acid production
Histamine Structure
- *TWO pKa’s**
- *9.40 - 1* Amine** /// 5.80 - His
Amine 4:1 His
in equilibirum of the 2 tautomeric structures
1* N Tautemer is PREFFERED in Salt form of histamie
Biosynthesis of Histamine
L-Histidine Decarboxylase
Cofactor Vitamin B6
L-Histidine –> Histidine
(L-aromatic AA decarboxylase, can ALSO do this conversion)
INHIBITED BY:
a-fluoromethylhistidine
CH2F
Histamine Receptor when Antagonized….
Treat Allergies
H1 Antagonist
Antihistamine
Histamine Receptor when Antagonized….
Inhibit GASTRIC ACID secretion
H2 Antagonist
H3 / H4 Receptors
H3 Receptors
mainly present in the CNS –> improve attention / learning
no approved drugs
H2 Receptors
locolized on hematopoietic origin
can treat inflammatory conditions
no approved drugs
Histamine METABOLISM
Hydrophilic molecule degraded in 2 ways:
N-Methylation** –> **MAO Oxidation
forming N-methylmidazole acetic acid 46-55%
Non-Specific Oxidative Deamination
by histaminase –> imidazole acetic Acid
Burimamide / Metiamide
H2RA
that were NOT marketed due to:
Agrunuloctosis
caused by the presense of
Thiourea Moiety
Binding of Guanidine Structure
Cimetidine
into H2 Receptor
Ionic Bond
BIDENTATE HYDROGEN BOND
Thiourea / Amidine
Nitrile Group –> HydroPhobic Pocket
EWG –> less basic guanidine group
Imdazole Ring Struture –> weakly basic pocket
Nitrogen Tautemer –> required for H2 receptor binding
can be replaced by other groups
Methyl + Thiomethylene Groups
stabilize the Tautemer structure, Electron repelling
optimal 4-methylene distance
Bidentate Hydrogen Bond
Binding of Cimetidine to H2Receptor
includes formation of Ionic Bond
TWO HYROGEN BONDS
ALL H2RA’s have their own version
Guanidine Group
for Cimetidine
Amidine
for ranitidine / nizatidine
Thiorurea
for Burimamide / Metiamide
Nitrile Group
Binding of Cimetidine to H2Receptor
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
Imidazole Ring Structure
Binding of Cimetidine to H2Receptor
_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
Cimetidine
ADR / Side Effects
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
Ranitidine / Famotidine / Nizatidine
vs
Cimetidine
NO CYP450 INHIBITION / Anti-Adrogenic properties
- *More Potent** due to:
- *Increased Binding** by the Basic Moeity
