Q

Drugs used in Parkinsons

A
  • Levodopa/Carbidopa- precursor of dopamine
  • Selegeline- MAO-B inhib.
  • Entacapone- COMT inhib. entaCapon for Comt
  • Ropinirole-
    • Dopamine-2 agonist. same ROLE as dopamine
  • Pramipexole-
    • Dopamin 3 agonist
  • Amantadine -
    • Anti-viral
    • M-block

Q

Why give Ach blockade in Parkinsons?

A

When physiologic Dopamine decreases –> excessive excitation of cholinergic neurons ( Ach release)

Ach and Dopamine are out of balance in parkinsons

Q

Levodopa/Carbidopa-

MOA ,duration

A

precursor of dopamine

Carbidopa:

  • Dopamine DeCarboxylase inhibitor (periphery)
  • does NOT enter CNS

L-DOPA:

  • prolonged plasma T1/2
  • lower doses of L-dopa is effective
  • fewer peripheral SE

*oral COMT & MAO-B Inhibitors allow smaller doses & prolong action.

  • responsiveness gradually decreases with time
  • DOA= 6-8hrs

reduce nocturnal acid but less effective than PPIs against stimulated secretion

very safe, available over the counter (OTC).

Cimetidine, but not other H2 blockers, is a weak antiandrogenic agent and a potent P450 enzyme inhibiton

99
Q

PPI SE

A

SE:

Low toxicity:

  • diarrhea,
  • abdominal pain,
  • headache.
  • hypergastrinemia (Chronic treatment )
  • decrease oral bioavalability of VITB12 and drugs which require acidic environment for GI absorption (digoxin, ketoconazole)
  • small increase in the risk of respiratory and enteric infections
  • reduction of stomach acid may reduce absorption of some drugs and increase that of others
    • eg: omeprazole inhibits CYP450 ; effects

      • phenytoin
      • diazepam

Q

Drugs acting on smooth muscle - contraction

A

*controlled by ANS, hormones.

  • through Ca +2 DIRECT
  • cAMP>>MLCK (P/dephosphorylation)

Contraction:

  • Neurotransmitter:
    • ​Ach (M) : Betanechol (urinary retension), pilocarpine (glaucoma, contract ciliary m> increase aquous humor> decrease IOP
    • E/NE = endogenous mediator , act by alpha-1
  • Autacoids= endogenous molecules which don’t fall into traditional autonomic groups. They DONT act on cholinoR nor adrenoR but have powerful pharmacologic effect on smooth m and other tissue. They are produced at site of action and act there as local mediator. Short acting compounds, with broad spectrum of biological activity; acts on smooth m
    • Histamine (biogenic amine)
    • Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) - biogenic amine
    • Eicosanoids= arachidonic acid derivative (PG, LT)
      • ​PGE2 (natural dinoprost) - used in gynecology + contraction for labour
      • PGF2 (carboprost)
      • TXA2
      • LTD4, LTE4 : important in bronchoconstriction
  • Angiotensin , VIP, Kinins
  • Polypeptides :
    • ​Oxytocin
    • Angiotensin II
    • Endothelin (ETR1 |—- Bosertan (ETR1 BLOCKER) –> pulmonary hypertension
