Anti-inflammatory Agents Flashcards
Inflammation: _____ > _____ > ______
Injury –> Mediators –> Inflammation
Inflammation: redness swelling heat pain
Autacoids:
array of substances normally present in then body brief lifetime act near sites of synthesis lcoal hormaones inflammatory mediators
Acute Inflammation physiology:
Changes in blood vessel caber and flow
Increased vascular permeability
Leuocytic infiltration
Which mediators COULD cause vasodilatation, increased permeability, migration of WBC?
histamine PGs LTs PAF platelet activiating facotor kinis products of complement system activation cytokines chemokines interleukins adehsions molecules etc.
Histamine major activities
Redness
Heat
Swelling
Airway constriction
NOT CHEMOTAXIS
Prostaglandin and thromboxane major activities
opposing effects often
See individual: PGE, PGI, PGD, thromboxane, TXA, PGI
Leukotriene major activities
LTB4 is chemotactic (PMNs)
Reduces pain threshold
Peptido LTs:
Bronchoconstriction
Increased vascular permeability
Chemotaxis (eosinophils)
Kinis (bradykinin and kallidin) major activities
everything
Very STRONG VASODILATOR
–> hypotension
NOT chemotactic
Redness/vasodilation
Histamine
PGE2
PGI2
Kinins
Swelling/increased vascular permeability
Histamine
Peptide leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, LTE4)
Kinins
Pain/reduces pain threshold or causes pain
PGE
PGI
LTB4
Kinins
Chemotactic/directic migration of WBCs
LTB4 (neutrophis) Peptido leukotrienes (eosinophils)
Fever
PGEs
Airway constriciton/broncoconstriction
Histamine
Peptido leukotrienes
Kinins
PGD2
Hypotension
Kinins*
Histamine
Intracutaneous histamine “triple response”
itching
pain
urticaria/hives
IV histamine
decreased BP tachycardia (response to dec BP) bronchoconstriction HA flushing of false urticaria (wheal and flare) mucus secretion gastric acid secretion
Antihistamines mech
inverse agonists
shift agonist dose-response curve to the right = look like a competitive antagonist
H1 receptor
histamine-induced…
Bronchoconstriction Contraction of GI smooth muscle Increased capillary permeability (wheal) Pruritis (itch) and pain Release of catecholamines from adrenal medulla
H2 receptor
histamine-induced…
GASTRIC ACID SECRETION
Inhibition of IgE-mediated basophilic histamine release
Inhibition of T lymphocyte mediated cytotoxicity
Suppression of Th2 cells and cytokines
H3 receptor
histamine-induced…
Present on histaminergic nerve terminals
H4 receptor
histamine-induced…
Present on many immune cells (eosinophils, DCs, T cell, neutrophils)
Mixed H1 and H2 receptor mediated responses
Cardiac effects (H1 and H2): increased HR, arr
Vasodilator effects (H1 at low dose hist, 1 and 2 at high hist): H1 rapid dilation short lived, H2 develops slowly dilation sustained
Triple response: vasodiation (H1 and H2), flare and wheal (H1 primarily), pain and itching (primarily H1)
Nasal symptoms: H2 –> itching, sneezing, hypersecretions, nasal bloakage,
H2 mucus production
Older anti-histamines pearls
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
Chlorpheniramine (Chlor-tabs)
and others
- BLOCK H1, muscarinic, alpha adrenergic, AND 5HT receptors
- Cross BBB, no efflux
- sedating and dry secretions
- CARDIOTOXIC
Newer anti-histamines pearls
Cetirizine (Zyrtec)
Fexofenadine (Allegra)
Loratadine (Claritin)
- BLOCK H1 receptors, minimal anticholinergic properties
- Do not cause sedation and drying of secretions
- Cross BBB, BUT EFFLUXED OUT
- NOT cardiotoxic
Anti-histamine TU
Allergy (uricaria, poison ivy, etc., not asthma)
Motion sickness
Sleep aid (diphenhydramine)
May reduce rhinorrhea of common cold
H2 anti-histamines (for next year)
Cimetidine
Ranitidine
Famotidine
Nizatidine
Prostainoid synthesis
Phospholipis in cellmembrane (phospholipase A2) –> arachidonic acid –> (COX) > Prostaglandins and Thromboxanes OR (LOX) > Leukotrienes
COX-1
constitutive
constitutively expressed in most cells
protects gastric mucosa (because allows mucosal secretion fro certain PG)
found in platelets
COX-2
induced
constitutively expressed in brain and kidney
induced by certain serum factors, cytokines, GFs in tissues and site of inflammation*
NOT found in platelets
Cyclooxygenase produces
Inflammation (redness, swelling, heat, pain)
Fever
Cardiovascular disease (PGs and TXA important in balance of platelet aggregation)
Action of cyclooxygenase product depends on…
which prostanoid receptor is in that tissue
Receptors for prostaglandins
Seven transmembrane G protein coupled receptors with various 2nd messengers
DP (PGD) FP (PGF) IP (PGI2) TP (TXA2) EP (PGE) EP1-4
