Q

Drug intolerance vs

drug idiosyncrasy

A

: undesriable pharma effect - occur at low/usual dose - no underlying abn in metbaolism, excretion or bioavail - T and B cell not involved and cant understand mechanism - ie) tinnitus with aspirin

Drug idiosyncrasy: abn and unexpected effect unrelated t drug, and uknown why, not T or B cell mediated but is repdocuble - could be due to metabolism or bioavail - ie) fever from quinidine or g6pd and hemolytic anemia with dapsone

Q

what is pi concept

A

Pharmacologic interaction with immune receptors
Drug binds non covalantly to the TCR and this leads to immune rxn via interaction with major histocombatability receptor
No sensitization needed as its direct stimulation of the memory and effector T cell (like a superantigen)

Q

Underlying mechanism of AERD?

A

aberrant arachidonic acid metabolism. Before administration of
aspirin, compared with non–aspirin-sensitive asthmatic patients,
patients with AERD have higher levels of both COX and 5-
lipoxygenase products, such as increased urinary leukotriene E4 and
throm- boxane B2, and increased leukotriene E4 and thromboxane B2
in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.602-604 Patients with AERD also have
increased respiratory tract expression of the cystei- nyl leukotriene 1
receptor and heightened responsiveness to inhaled leukotriene
E A number of genetic polymor- phisms involving the
leukotriene pathway have been reported to be associated with
AERD, including the leukotriene C4 promotor, cysteinyl
leukotriene receptor 1 promotor,606 prostanoid receptor related
genes,607 and thromboxane A2 receptor genes. Administration of
aspirin leads to inhibition of COX-1 with resultant decrease in
prostaglandin E2. Prostaglandin E2 normally inhibits 5-lipoxygenase,
but with a loss of this modifying effect, arachidonic acid molecules
are preferen- tially metabolized in the 5-lipoxygenase pathway,
resulting in increased production of cysteinyl leukotrienes.

1. Compare reactions between metabisulfite and ASA.
ASA Can cause 4 types of ‘pseudoallergic reactions’, which is related to the pharmacologic ability of NSAIDs to inhibit COX-1 enzyme (1) AERD (2) urticaria/angioedema in patients who already have chronic urticaria (3) urticaria/angioedema in patients without underlying disease (4) respiratory reaction + cutaneous symptoms (either in patients with AERD or patients with no underlying disease) NSAIDs can also cause allergic reactions (presumed to be IgE-mediated), but these are NOT reported with aspirin metabisulfite (1) Asthma Sulfites are the only additives that have been convincingly demonstrated to provoke asthmatic reactions (for other additives- evidence limited to case reports) Up to 5% of asthmatics may experience adverse reactions to sulfites Affected patients typically have severe, steroid-dependent asthma, and sulfites can cause serious / life-threatening asthmatic reactions (2) Anaphylaxis Small number of cases Epinephrine autoinjectors contain small amounts of metabisulfite, but this is not a contraindication to their use (3) Urticaria (4) Contact dermatitis

MOA of ritux
B cell-depleting monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody, comprised of both mouse and human portions. Depletion occurs through one or more of several antibody dependant mechanisms including: Fc receptor gamma-mediated antibody-dependent cytotoxicity and phagocytosis, complement-mediated cell lysis, growth arrest, B cell apoptosis
71
MOA of Cyclophoshamide
An alkylating agent, is one of the most potent immunosuppressive therapies available. Prodrug that is converted to its active form in the liver Alkylating agents exert their biologic activity via covalent binding and crosslinking of a variety of macromolecules including DNA, RNA, and proteins. DNA crosslinking, probably the most important biologic action of these drugs, impairs DNA replication and transcription, ultimately leading either to cell death or to altered cellular function. Alkylating agents are cytotoxic. Absolute lymphopenia is frequently seen following their administration, with reductions in the number of B cells and T cells of both CD4+ and CD8+ types 3 side effects Cytopenia Gonadal toxicity Malignancy (leukemia and skin) Bladder toxicity - hemorrhagic cystitis, bladder cancer Hyponatremia due to SIADH
