3 - Cardiovascular and renal pharmacology Flashcards
Lidocaine
Local anaesthetic acting on VGNa channels
Stabilise inactivated state and make it harder to reactivate
Acts on intracellular surface
Shows use dependence
Nifedipine
Dihydropyridine
2 binding sites
- S6 segment and association loop of domain 4
- Close to phenylalkylamine binding site
Verapamil
Phenylalkylamine
Binding site at S6 and part of S5-6 loop
Diltiazem
Benzothiazepines
Block from outside
Modulate DHP binding
Propanolol
Non-specific B-antagonist
Blocks the effect of catecholamines
Atenolol
B1-antagonist
Blocks the effect of catecholamines
Coupled to Gs GProtein, so coupled to a rise in cAMP
Quinidine
Anti-dysrhythmic drug
Class 1A
Block VGNa channels
Increased AP duration, intermediate rate of association/dissociation
Procainamide
Anti-dysrhythmic drug
Class 1A
Block VGNa channels
Increased AP duration, intermediate rate of association/dissociation
Lidocaine (Class)
Anti-dysrhythmic drug
Class 1B
Block VGNa channels
Decreased AP duration, fast rate of association/dissociation
Flecainide
Anti-dysrhythmic drug
Class 1C
Block VGNa channels
No effect on AP duration, slow rate of association/dissociation
Propanolol/Atenolol
Antidysrhythmic agent
Class2
Sympathetic antagonists (B blockers)
Digoxin / Digitoxin
Cardiac glycosides Antidysrhythmic Alleviate oedema Inhibit NaKATPase pump Increase intracellular Na, reduce driving force for Ca exit, Ca builds up in cell
Oubain
Cardiac glycosides
Inhibit NaKATPase pump
Used experimentally - too powerful to be used clinically
Dobutamine
B1 selective analogue of dopamine
Intravenous
+ve ionotropic effect greater than chronotropic
Shock, increase CO after heart surgery, heart failure with no hypertension
However - increase oxygen demand, increase heart rate and blood pressure
Bisoprolol / Carvedilol
3rd generation B1 antagonist
Used in stable heart failure
Limit damaging effects of chronic stimulation by catecholamines and improve cardiac function
(reverse desensitization and downregulation of B adrenoceptors)
Inodilators
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors Raise intracellular cAMP Mimic B stimulation Can lead to dysrhythmias Vasodilation in smooth muscle, decreases afterload on heart
Milrinone
Inodilator Phosphodiesterase type 3 inhibitor Raide intracellular cAMP cGMP inhibited Dysrhythmias - short term treatment of severe heart failure
Dipyridamole
Inodilator
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor
Raise intracellular cAMP
cGMP specific
Sildenafil
Inodilator
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor
Raise intracellular cAMP
cGMP specific
Caffeine
Methylxanthine (caffeine/theophylline)
Non selective phosphodiesterase inhibitors
Also adenosine A1 A2 antagonists –> release of Ca from intracellular stores
Positive ionotropic and chronotropic effects
Pimobendan
Inodilator Calcium sensitizer Increase cardiac Ca binding efficiency to troponin without more energy requirement Peripheral vasodilation (PDE3 inhibitor) -canine dilated cardiomyopathy -canine mitral valve regurgitation
Levosimendan
Inositol/Ca sensitizer
Licensed for human use in heart failure in the UK
Bosentan
Non specific Endothelin 1 antagonist
Treat pulmonary arterial hypertension
Streptokinase
Clot lysis
Binds plasminogen activator and generates plasmin
Degradation of fibrin in clots and breakdown of clotting factors 2, 5, 7
Anistreplase
Combination of plasminogen and anisoylated streptokinase
Inactive until anisoyl group removed in blood
More prolonged activity
Alteplase
Recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator
Single chain
Greater activity on plasminogen bound to fibrin in clots - localising action
