Drugs Flashcards
Anti-inflammatory Cytokine inhibitors (specifically TNF-a inhibitor) used to treat chronic inflammatory disease
Etanercept, Infliximab
Anti-inflammatory Type of NSAID, irreversibly inhibits COX
Aspirin
Anti-inflammatory Probably the most widely used medication worldwide, Inhibits COX
NSAID
Inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase, inhibits cys-LTs (bronchoconstriction and increase vascular permeability) AND LTB4 (chemotaxis) Prophylactic treatment of mild asthma
Zileuton
Cys-leukotriene receptor antagonist Prophylactic treatment of mild asthma
Zafirlukast
Anti-inflammatory Glucocorticoids, bind to cytoplasmic receptors, that localize to nucleus and bind DNA
Steroid
PGE2 analog cervical ripening in pregnancy terminate early pregnancy
Dinoprostone
PGF2 analog Termination of pregnancy in 2nd trimester Control postpartum hemorrhage
Carboprost
PGE1 analog Prevention of ulcers with long-term NSAID use
Misoprostol
PGE1 analog tx: Impotence/erectile dysfunction Maintenance of patent ductus arteriosus

Synthesis controlled by Angiotensin II and plasma K+ Steroid drug
Aldosterone
Synthesis controlled by ACTH Steroid drug Anti-inflammatory potency = 1
Cortisol
Steroid drug Anti-inflammatory potency = 20
Dexamethasone
Corticosteroid drug Used to treat allograft rejection, always in combination Anti-inflammatory potency = 3
Prednisolone
Steroid drug Anti-inflammatory potency = 12
Fludrocortisone
Inhibits synthesis of cortisol Blocks 11-beta hydroxylation – synthesis stops at 11-deoxycortisol Plasma ACTH levels increase Stimulates synthesis and excretion of 17-hydroxycorticoids as 11-deoxycortisol
Metyrapone
