18
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
Q

Loratadine

A

(Claratin): 2nd Gen antihistamine

Highly selective for H1 sites, few anti-cholinergic SE, poorly cross BBB > less sedative effects

25
Q

Cetrizine

A

(Zyrtec): 2nd Gen antihistamine

Highly selective for H1 sites, few anti-cholinergic SE, poorly cross BBB > less sedative effects

26
Q

Fexofenadine

A

(Allegra): 2nd Gen antihistamine

Highly selective for H1 sites, few anti-cholinergic SE, poorly cross BBB > less sedative effects

27
Q

Prostaglandin E2

A

Site of synthesis: Most tissues
Half-life: 30 sec
Oppose thromboxanes > suppress TXA

28
Q

Prostaglandin I2 (prostacyclin)

A

Site of synthesis: Endothelium, vascular smooth muscle
Half-life: 3 min
Oppose thromboxanes > suppress TXA

29
Q

Thromboxane A2

A

Site of synthesis: Platelets, macrophages
Half-life: 30 sec
Proinflammatory

30
Q

Aspirin

A

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

Use: post surgical analgesic

32
Q

Selectivity of COX-1 vs COX-2 = 10
Use: Rx arthritis/anti-inflammatory
high frequency of intolerance

33
