Antiinflammatory And Autacoids Flashcards
Excess production of histamines is measured in the urine by
Imidazole acetic acid
H3 antagonist
Clobenpropit
Classic demonstration of histamine effect
Triple response
Wheal
Flush
Flare
The triple response is mediated primarily by which H receptor type? How many histamine receptors are there?
H1
4
Describe all histamine receptor, distribution, and effect
H1 smooth muscle - pain itching bronchoconstriction, vasodilation, local edema
H2 stomach heart mast cells - gastric acid secretion, cardiac stimulation
H3 nerve endings - modulation of other NTs
H4 leukocytes - leukocyte chemotaxis
Most important amine autacoids
Histamine and serotonin
First generation antihistamines
Diphenhydramine
Chlorpheniramine Cyclizine Meclizine Promethazine Hydroxyzine
Similarities and differences in the MOA of first generation and second generation antihistamines
Similarities: both on H1 receptor
Differences: 1st gen: CNS and peripheral with anti motion sickness effect
2nd gen: peripheral only
_________ from interaction between azoles/erythromycin and terfenadine/astemizole
Fatal arrythmias
2nd gen antihistamines
Cetirizine Levocetirizine Loratidine Deslora Fexofenadine Terfenadine Astemizol
H2 receptor antagonist
Cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, nizatidine
H2 antagonist that causes gynecomastia
Cimetidine
Chemical name of serotonin
5 hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT
Excess production of serotonin is detected by _____ in the urine
