Adverse Effects Flashcards

1
Q

Susceptibility Alleles Associated with ADR for Ethanol

A

ALDH2*2 (G1510A; Glu487Lys) is an inactive allele →

‘Asian flush’ sx due to accumulation of acetaldehyde (genetic Disulfiram)

↑ ikelihood of esophageal ca in chronic alcoholics

Q

Susceptibility Alleles Associated with ADR for Phenytoin

A

Inactive CYP2C9 and CYP2C19
alleles → improper drug metabolism → drug accumulates → ADR (ataxia, slurred speech, decreased coordination and mental confusion)

Hyperactive MDR1 promoter allele → high levels of MDR1 protein at BBB → not enough drug available to inhibit VGSC → non- responder

Low affinity VGSC allele→ ↓ binding of drug to VGSC protein → non-responder

Q

Susceptibility Alleles Associated with ADR for 5-fluorouracil (5FU)

A

~3% of pt pop heterozygous for inactive ‘A’ allele found in intron (dominant allele)
→ improper splicing → inactive DPD enzyme → 5FU not properly inactivated

Potential fatal myelosuppression

2R/2G,2R/2Cor3R/3C allele of TS gene (also known as TYMS gene) has low transcriptional activity l→ low levels of TS enzyme → patients responsive to 5FU

3R/3GalleleofTS(or TYMS) gene has high transcriptional activity → high levels of TS enzyme→ patients non-responsive to 5FU

Q

Susceptibility Alleles Associated with ADR for Codeine

A

Inactive allele (poormetabolizer): multiple inactive alleles such as CYP2D6*10 → poor to no conversion of codiene

CYP2D6*2xN allele(ultra-metabolizer): ultra efficient conversion of codeine → too much conversion to morphine → fatal respiratory depression

20
Q

Streptomycin

A

Ototoxicity

Nephrotoxicity

21
Q

Bedaquiline

A

↑ Hepatic transaminases → monitor liver fn

BBW: ↑ risk death due to arrhythmias and QT prolongation

22
Q

Amhotericin B

A

Most related to binding to cholesterol in cells of host

Chills, fever, muscle spasms, HA, vomiting, hypotension → ↓ by slow infusion and premed w/ antipyretics and antihistamiens as wella s sodium loading to ↓ renal damage

Renal damage w/ LT use (reverisble at first then irreversible) → limit cumulative dose (2 g)

23
Q
