Cardiovascular Drugs 1 Flashcards
Where does water and ion exchange occur?
What does the glomerulus exchange?
Extremely high water solubility
No primary transporters & drug targets
What does the proximal tubule exchange?
Water solubility: high
Primary transporters & drug targets: Na+/H+ (NHE3), carbonic anhydrase, acid and base transporters
What does the thin descending loop of henle exchange?
Water permeability: high
Primary transporters & drug targets: aquaporins
What are function of the thick ascending loop of henle?
Water permeability: very low
Primary transporters & drug targets: Na+/K+/2Cl- (NKCC2)
What is the function of the distal convuluted tubule?
Very low water solubility
Primary transporter/drug target: Na+/Cl(NCC)
What is the function of the cortical collecting duct?
Variable water solubility
Primary transporters & drug targets: ENaC, K+ channels, H+ transporter, aqua porins
