Drugs for Parathyroid Disorders Flashcards
what is pagets disease
A bone disorder, of unknown origin, characterized by excessive bone destruction and disorganized repair. Complications include skeletal deformity, musculoskeletal pain, kidney stones, and organ dysfunction secondary to pressure from bony overgrowth
what is rickets
The same as osteomalacia, but occurs in the growing skeleton
nonhormonal regulators of bone mineral homeostasis
- bisphosphonates
-fluoride
-calcmimetics

PTH and 1,25(OH)2D ______ the input of calcium and phosphorus from bone into the serum and stimulate bone formation.
1,25(OH)2D also ________calcium and phosphate absorption from the gut.
In the kidney, 1,25(OH)2D _____ excretion of both calcium and phosphorus, whereas PTH _______ calcium but _______ phosphorus excretion.
FGF23 stimulates renal excretion of phosphate.
Calcitonin (CT) is a less critical regulator of calcium homeostasis, but in pharmacologic concentrations can reduce serum calcium and phosphorus by ______bone resorption and stimulating their renal excretion.

what are 3 regulations of PTH hormone
- Serum calcium feeds back to parathyroid gland
- High calcium
-Stimulates calcium-sensitive protease in gland
-Stimulates calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) - Vitamin D
-Suppresses PTH production
-Induces CaSR
how does parathyroid control LOW serum calcium
Parathyroid releases PTH
Stimulates bone resorption
Increases calcium uptake from GI tract
Increases calcium reabsorption, hydroxylation of vitamin D by kidney
Decreases phosphate reabsorption by renal tubules ↑ Serum Ca
how does THYROID control LOW serum calcium
Thyroid decreases release of calcitonin
Decreased bone formation
Increased calcium uptake from GI tract
Increased calcium reabsorption by kidney
PTH effects on bone
Net effect of PTH favors bone resorption by osteoclasts
Low, intermittent doses favor bone formation
what is the MOA of Terparatide
1-34 active segment of human PTH
-Acts through PTH receptors to produce a net increase in bone formation
what is the MOA of Natpara
Genetic engineered full-length (1-84) human PTH
list 2 drugs that are PTH preparations
teriparatide
Natpara
describe the short-term process of PTH preparations
Short-term, intermittent –> Increased osteoblast number and function –> increased bone formation
describe the long-term process of PTH preparations
Long-term, continuous –> Increased osteoclast function —> increased bone resorption
what are the uses for PTH preparations
Osteoporosis in postmenopausal women & hypogonadal men
Other osteoporosis in patients at high risk of fracture
Severe osteoporosis not responsive to other drugs
what are the contraindications for PTH preparations
Patients at increased risk of bone tumors [osteosarcoma]
Paget’s disease of bone, elevated alkaline phosphatase
what are the Adverse effects for PTH preparations
Carcinogenesis (osteosarcoma)
Orthostatic hypotension
Kidney stones (assoc. with elevated serum calcium]
Diarrhea, nausea
GERD
Muscle cramps
what is the uses of Terparatide
osteoporosis
what is the adverse effects of Terparatide
Hypercalcemia, Hypercalciuria, Osteosarcoma in animals
How Does Teriparatide Useful in the Treatment of Osteoporosis?
Increases bone formation
Cessation associated with rapid bone loss
-Follow treatment with bisphosphonate or other anti-
resorptive agent
Especially useful in:
-Post-menopausal women with high fracture risk
calcitonin is secreted by
parafollicular (C) cells of thyroid gland
calcitonin mediates____________ effects of PTH
OPPOSITE
calcitonin mediates____________ effects of PTH
OPPOSITE
MOA of calcitonin
Inhibits bone resorption
