ANP, Renal Prostaglandins, ADH Flashcards
What are the three forms of natriuretic peptides?
ANP
BNP
CNP
When are the natriuretic peptides released?
Under control of stretch receptors in the right atrium and ventricles
What are the potency of natriuretic peptides from greatest to least?
ANP > BNP > CNP
Which natriuretic peptides are better vasodilators?
CNP
Which natriuretic peptides are more effective natriuretics?
ANP
BNP
What cleaves ANP, BNP, CNP in the plasma?
Neprilysin (neutral endopeptidases/metalloprotease)
What does ANP C receptor do?
Binds the natriuretic peptides and internalizes them into the cell
What does inhibition of neprilysin cause?
Natriuresis
What is Sacubitril?
A prodrug converted by esterases to an inhibitor of metalloproteases
What are metalloproteases?
Neutral endopeptidases
What do neutral endopeptidases do?
Breaksdown endothelin, A2, ANP
What does Sacubitril do?
Inhibits neutral endopeptidases/metalloproteases
What is Sacubitril used to treat?
In combination with valsartan (A2 antagonist) for CHF
What are the three natriuretic peptide receptors?
A B and C
What do A and B natriuretic peptide receptors do?
Have physiological actions
What does natriuretic C peptide receptor do?
Gets rid of ANP, internalizes receptor with peptide bound to it
What is a marker for heart failure/LV dysfunction?
BNP levels (higher levels is worse)
Where is BNP released from?
Left ventricle
What drug is essentially BNP in a bottle?
Neseritide
