A
DISCKOR
Digitalis
Isoniazid
Spirinolactone
Cimetidine
Ketoconazole
Oestrogen
Risperidone
26
Q

which azole can cross BBB

A

fluuuuconazole

27

itraconazole variconazole can treat

A

SAB
Sporotrichosis
Aspergillus
Blastomyces

29
Q

itraconazole absp increases with?

A

EATING food

30
Q

ketoconazole is killed by

A

antacids **

31
Q

Topical dermatophyte inf treated by

A

clotrimazole and miconazole

32
Q

isavuconazole is used for

A

serious aspergillus inf and mucor

33
Q

flucytosine MOA

A

inhibits DNA RNA synthesis by conversion to 5FU

conv to 5FU requires cytosine deaminase
5Fu inhibits thymidylate synthase

34
Q

cytosine deamination makes

A

uracil

35
Q

uracil methylation makes

A

thymine

36
Q

IMP AMP stick together and make

A

hypoxanthine

37
Q

GMP guanosine makes

A

xanthine

38
Q

histones are +ve or _ve

A

+ve

39
Q

euchromatin location

A

central

active

40
Q

heterochromatin

A

periphery

inactive

41
Q

DNA methylation can be seen in

A

imprinting
cancer (only tumor suppressor gene like p53)
aging

42
Q

how is gene silencing done?

A

addition of methyl group to adenin or cytosin by SAM (methyl donor)
methylation of cytosine/guanine repeats CPG on promotor —– leads to gene silencing

43
Q

gene silencing is seen in which condition

A

Fragile X CGG repeats

FMR 1 gene

44
Q

histones are synthesized in which phase

A

S phase

45
Q

what type of histone Is present in mitochondria

A

NO histone

46
Q

linker DNA (packing of nucleosome)

A

H1

A

xanthine oxidase inhibitor

48
Q

adenonisne deaminase def seen in

A

SCID

49
Q

MOA cladrinine pentostatin

A

inhibit adenosine deaminase

50

early daeth
51
Q

sodium urate crystals in diaper

orange sand in diaper

A

HGPRT def

increase of PRPP

52

A

break uric acid

54
Q

transketolase requies

A

B1 thiamine

55
