Drugs-MOA and site only Flashcards
Acetazolamide Diamox
MOA
renal site of action
- Inhibition of renal carbonic anhydrase to decrease sodium and bicarb reabsorption
- PCT
verapamil Covera-HS, Calan
Calcium channel blockers - vasodilators
non-dihydropyridines: Prefer open confirmation of L-type calcium channel (heart) and block it
labetalol Trandate
labetalol Trandate
B1/B2/a1 antagonist (7:1)
A1: decrease in SVR
B1: prevents reflex increase in heart rate
nifedipine Procardia, Adalat
nifedipine Procardia, Adalat
Calcium channel blockers - vasodilators
Dihydropyridines; prefer to bind to the inactivated state of L-type calcium channel and block it
captopril Capoten
ACE inhibitors: decrease angiotensin II levels and increase bradykinin levels
desmopressin/DDAVP
- V2 selective agonist, : more potent antidiuretic as compared to vasopressin
- Vasopressin Receptor Agonist
- Collecting Duct
Sodium thiosulfate
Treatment of cyanide toxicity
3% sodium nitrate
Treatment of cyanide toxicity
bosentan Tracleer
Endothelin (ET) receptor antagonist
Nonselective
Endothelin (Gq coupled) leads to contraction of smooth muscle; thereby relaxation is caused by antagonism
losartan Cozaar
ARB
Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) at AT1 receptors
Vasodilation, renal vasodilation on efferent, block Na+ reabsorption, block SNS discharge, inhibit ADH release
isoproterenol
Beta adrenergic agonist (synthetic agonist with relative selectivity for Beta1 > Beta2)
Beta1 - Positive inotrope, chronotrope, lusitrope.
Beta2 - peripheral vasodilation and hypotension. No activity on alpha
vasopressin /pitressin
MOA
renal site of action
- Vasopressin Receptor Agonist
- V1: Gq coupled on vascular smooth muscle, V1: vasoconstriction
- V2: Gs coupled on vascular endothelium and collecting duct: phosphorylation of AQP2, V2: release of coagulation factors, water reabsorption, Conserve body fluid, prevent fluid loss, maintain perfusion
- Collecting Duct
atenolol Tenormin
MOA
B1 selective antagonists
dopamine
Beta adrenergic agonist
Low dose: D1 vasodilation and increase in renal blood flow
Intermediate: B2 and B1: increase HR/contractility, decreased SVR
High: A1 peripheral vasoconstriction
bumetanide/bumex
MOA
renal area of action
loop diuretic
Inhibition of Na+ reabsorption in thick ascending Loop of Henle by blocking NKCC2 (Na+/K+/Cl-) transporter
Thick ascending limb of LOH
ambrisentan Letairis
Endothelin (ET) receptor antagonist
Selective
triamterene Dyrenium
moa
site of action
potassium sparing diuretic
collecting duct
Liddle’s syndrome (super ENaC Na channel)
Block ENacC Na channel.
Contradications - ACE, ARBs, renal insufficiency with hyperkalemia
hydralazine Apresoline
Decrease vascular smooth muscle tone (Mechanism unclear)
Direct relaxation of arteriolar smooth muscle (mechanism unclear)
lisinopril Prinivil, Zestril
ACE inhibitors: decrease angiotensin II levels and increase bradykinin(vasodilation) levels
epinephrine
Beta adrenergic agonist
Low dose - Beta1 - positive inotrope, lusitrope, chronotrope, and dromotrope, also vasodilation in SKM;
High dose - alpha1 - generalized peripheral vasoconstriction increasing afterload
