Anti-histamine and NSAIDs Flashcards
H2 receptor mechanism
Gs coupled: increase cAMP
H1 receptor signaling mechanism
Gq couples: PLC > IP-3, DAG (mobilizes Ca2+ > histamine degranulation, smooth muscle constriction)
H3 receptor mechanism
Gs coupled: increase cAMP
H4 receptor mechanism
Gs coupled: increase cAMP
Vascular smooth muscle (H1, (H2))
histamine induced NO release > SM relaxatoin + vasodilation
Symptom: hypotension, flushing, headache, anaphylaxis
Endothelium (H1)
Induce actin/myosin contraction, separate endothelial cells
Symp:edema
Cardiac muscle (H1)
Decreased HR and atrial contractility
Cardiac muscle (H2)
Increased HR and contractility
Bronchiolar smooth muscle (H1)
Constriction
Symp: decreased airway size + difficulty breathing
Uterine smooth muscle (H1)
Constriction
Gastric smooth muscle (H1)
constriction
Symp: diarrhea
Sensory nerves (H1)
stimulation
Symp: pain + itching
CNS in hypothalamus (H1)
Arousal
Symp: increased wakefulness
CNS in emetic center (H1)
emesis
Symp: vomiting, nausea
CNS (H1 + H2)
Effects on thirst, BP, perception of pain
Gastric secretion (H2)
Increased acid production, pepsin and IF
Symp: mucosal erosion + ulceration
Cromolyn (Intal)
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)
Nedocromil (Tilade)
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)
