Q

Cromolyn (Intal)

A

Prophylactic in longer term maintenance therapy fo rasthma
Inhibits degranulation of mast cells (inhibit Ca2+ channels, inhibit Cl- channels > decreased nerve activity + cough)
Lacks utility due to topical absorption of poorly soluble salts (inhaled powder aerosol)

Q

H1 Receptor antagonists

A

Act as inverse agonist (block histamine at H1 receptors)
Uses: allergic rhinitis and uticaria (H1 antagonist), motion sickness/emesis (H1 antagonist + antimuscarinic effect)
SE: sedation (1st Gen Drugs: CNS Hypothalamic response, cross BBB)
Non-H1 effects: first gen H1 anta similar to muscarinic cholinoreceptor (dry mouth, urinary retention, tachycardia), a-adrenoceptor (orthostatic hypotension), anit-serotonin (increased appetite), local anesthetic (block Na channels)

19
Q

Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)

A

1st Gen: H1 antagonist = antihistamine
Other Uses: motion sickness
Also a muscarinic antagonists (prevent parasympathetics)

20
Q

Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine)

A

1st Gen: H1 antagonist = antihistamine
Other Uses: motion sickness
Salt of diphenhydramine

21
Q

Cyclizine (Marezine)

A

1st Gen: H1 antagonist = antihistamine

Other Uses: motion sickness

22
Q

Promethazine (Phenergan)

A

1st Gen: H1 antagonist = antihistamine

Other Uses: antiemetic

23
Q

Most effective drugs for motion sickness and emesis

A

promethazine, cyclizine and diphenhydramine

24
Loratadine
(Claratin): 2nd Gen antihistamine | Highly selective for H1 sites, few anti-cholinergic SE, poorly cross BBB > less sedative effects
25
Cetrizine
(Zyrtec): 2nd Gen antihistamine | Highly selective for H1 sites, few anti-cholinergic SE, poorly cross BBB > less sedative effects
26
Fexofenadine
(Allegra): 2nd Gen antihistamine | Highly selective for H1 sites, few anti-cholinergic SE, poorly cross BBB > less sedative effects
27
Prostaglandin E2
Site of synthesis: Most tissues Half-life: 30 sec Oppose thromboxanes > suppress TXA
28
Prostaglandin I2 (prostacyclin)
Site of synthesis: Endothelium, vascular smooth muscle Half-life: 3 min Oppose thromboxanes > suppress TXA
29
Thromboxane A2
Site of synthesis: Platelets, macrophages Half-life: 30 sec Proinflammatory
30
Aspirin
Acetyl salicylic acid (Irreversible inhibitor of COX-1 + COX-2) > 15 min > salicylic acid (reversible inhibitor of both) More potent inhibitor or COX-1 COX-2 is responsible for prostanoid production during inflammation Use: OTC analgesic/antipyretic, CARDIOVASCULAR PROPHYLAXIS
31
Ketorolac (Toradol)
Selectivity of COX-1 vs COX-2 = 395 | Use: post surgical analgesic
32
Indomethacin (Indocin)
Parenteral (high potency for COX-1) Selectivity of COX-1 vs COX-2 = 10 Use: Rx arthritis/anti-inflammatory high frequency of intolerance
33
Naproxen (Aleve, Bayer)
Selectivity of COX-1 vs COX-2 = 3.8 | Use: aspirin: analgesic/antipyretic, Rx anti-inflammatory
34
Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)
Selectivity of COX-1 vs COX-2 = 2.6 | Analgesic/antipyretic
35
Diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam)
Selectivity of COX-1 vs COX-2 = 0.3 (More potent towards COX-2) combined with misoprostol (Arthrotec) Uses: Rx arthritis/anti-inflammatory
36
Etodolac (Lodine)
Selectivity of COX-1 vs COX-2 = 0.1 | Use: Rx arthritis
37
Meloxicam (Mobic)
Selectivity of COX-1 vs COX-2 = 0.04 | Use: Rx arthritis
38
Misoprostol
PGE1 analog: used to protect against COX-1 inhibition by NSAIDs to allow prostglandins for the decreases in acid production, increased mucus formation in the stomach = prevent ulcers
39
Acetaminophen (tylenol)
Non-selective Cox inhibitor Activity reduced in presence of peroxide (often located at inflamed site) Uses: analgesic and antipyretic (no anti-inflammatory activity) SE: hepatotoxicity with overdose
40
Celecoxib (Celebrex)
Only legal US Cox-2 selective NSAID: 10X selectivity Uses:analgesic, rheumatoid arthritis Reduces incidene of GI effects SE: for all COX-2 selective inhibitors = increased cardiovascular events: hypertension, heart attack, stroke
41
Rofecoxib (Vioxx)
Cox-2 Selective NSAID: 200X selectivity (most selective) | Uses: analgesis, Rx arthritis
42
Valdecoxib (Bextra)
similiar to rofecoxib: COX-2 selective inhibitor: 200X selectivity
43
Zileuton
Leukotriene pathway synthesis inhibitor: inhibits 5-lipoxygenase > no LTB4/LTD4 synthesis Uses: long-term maintenance therapy for asthma (oral) SE: liver toxicity, inhibited activity of Cyt P450 1A2, 2C9, 3A4
44
Zafirlukast (Accolate) + Montelukast (Singular)
Longer term asthma maintenance | LTD4 receptor antagonist > reduced bronchoconstriction + edema from inflammatory response
