Q

what 3 things regulate acid secretion from parietal cells

A

i) Neuronal (acetylcholine, ACh), paracrine (histamine), and endocrine (gastrin) factors regulate acid secretion through receptor binding on parietal cells.

Q

Somatostatin

A

produced by antral D cells inhibits gastric acid secretion.

(1) When gastric pH falls below 3, this stimulates SST release which suppresses gastrin in a negative-feedback loop.

Q

what is the role of Prostaglandins and how are they affected by NSAID’s

A

(1) Prostaglandins E2 and I2 inhibit the proton pump by reducing cAMP production (EP3 receptors are GPCRs coupled to Gi on parietal cells).
(2) PGE2 and PGI2 also stimulate production of protective factors (mucus, bicarbonate) by superficial epithelial cells and enhance mucosal blood flow.
(3) Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) block PG production resulting in more acid secretion, less mucus and bicarbonate production, and diminished blood flow. Thus, NSAIDs are ulcerogenic and should be avoided or dose reduced in ulcer patients.

Q

MOA of PPI’s

A

: inactive pro-drugs, lipophilic weak bases diffuse readily across lipid membranes into acidified compartments (parietal cell canaliculus) from the alkaline intestinal lumen. Rapidly becomes protonated and undergoes conversion to active form which forms a covalent disulfide bond with H+/K+-ATPase, irreversibly inactivating the enzyme.

inhibits both fasting and meal stimulated acid secretion.

i) Blocks final common pathway of acid secretion – the proton pump
ii) Inhibits 90-98% of 24 hour acid secretion in standard doses

Q

why are PPI’s ideal drugs from PK perspective

A

c) PK: ideal drugs from a PK perspective as they have short serum half-lives, concentrated and activated near site of action, and have a long duration of action.

Q

food impact on PPI’s

A

ii) Bioavailability – decreased ~50% by food, administer on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before a meal (breakfast).

PPIs only inhibit actively secreting proton pumps so should preferably be given 1 hour before a meal so peak concentration coincides with max activity of proton pump.

Q

what is the therapeutic use of PPI’s

A

GERD

PUD

H. pylori infection

NSAId ulcers

stress related mucosal injury

prevention of re-bleeding

Zollinger-ellison syndrome

OTC’s- for heartburn

20
Q

what are the adverse drug reactions of PPI’s

A

i) 1-5% (only slightly increased over placebo): diarrhea, headache, abdominal pain
ii) Increased risk (2-3x) of hospital- and community-acquired Clostridium difficile
iii) Decreased vitamin B12 absorption (potentially leads to subnormal levels with prolonged therapy), modest increased risk of hip fracture, increased risk of nosocomial pneumonia, small increased risk of enteric infections.

21
Q

what are the drug drug interactions of PPI’s

A

i) Decreased gastric acidity may alter drug absorption (ketoconazole, itraconazole, digoxin, atazanavir)
ii) All PPIs metabolized via CYP P450 enzymes (including 2C19 and 3A4) but clinically significant drug interactions are rare due to short half-lives of the PPIs.

22
Q

what does omeprazole interact with

A

(1) Omeprazole may inhibit metabolism of warfarin, diazepam, phenytoin, and others

23
Q

PPI’s and clopidogrel

A

(a) Clopidogrel is a pro-drug which requires activation by CYP2C19. PPIs (especially omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, and dexlansoprazole) could reduce clopidogrel activation thus reducing anti-platelet activity. If co-administration is required, pantoprazole or rabeprazole preferred.

24
Q

H2RA’s (“tidine”)

MOA
