Q

What is the mechanism of Type 5 Phosphodiesterase inhibitors?

A

It inhibits PDE5 to allow for more cGMP (causes vasodilation). Muscarinic ACh > Nitric Oxide > cGMP.

Q

How do you test for Horner’s syndrome?

A

Use phenylephrine. If it doesn’t dilate then it’s probably not Horner’s. then test with ophthalmic cocaine: No dilation = postganglionic lesion. Dilation= preganglionic lesion.

Q

What are the steps of ACh production and use?

A

1 Choline enters and 2 combines with Acetyl CoA through Choline acetyltransferase. 3 Ach put in vesicles. 4 AP causes Ca++ to enter the axon > 5 vesicle fuses with axon terminal. 6 ACh eventually gets broken down by AChE. 7 Choline gets recycled

What is Tx for chronic orthostatic hypotension?

A

Midodrine (Alpha 1 agonist)

138
Q

What happens when you activate Beta 1 receptors?

A

Affects HEART: higher bp, heart rate, increase contractility. Affects Kidney too (more renin > increase blood volume because more water)

139
Q

What do nonsteroidal antigens do?

A

Nonsteroidal antigens that compete with natural hormone for the androgen receptor and prevent translocation of the hormone into the nucleus

140
Q

Which nonsteroidal antigens drug can cause visual problems?

A

Nilutamide can cause visual problems

141
Q

Which receptor is an “autoreceptor”?

A

Alpha 2

ACh, Carbachol, Bethanechol

143
Q

Which drugs can cause anorexia?

A

5-fluorouracil and 6-mercaptopurine

144
Q

What do muscarinic blockers do to the cardiovascular system?

A

Increase HR but no strong net effect

145
Q

What is effect of an Indirect Acting Cholinomimetic on the Eye?

A

Basically the same as direct. Contraction of iris sphincter (miosis), ciliary muscle (accommodation), and opening of trabecular meshwork (lower IOP)

146
Q

What do muscarinic blockers do to the eye?

A

They cause mydriasis (constrictor is inhibited), cause cycloplegia (ciliary muscle is inhibited), and reduce lacrimal secretion.

147
Q

Which ANS receptors are muscarinic?

A

Only post-ganglionic receptors

148
Q

What are common steroid effects?

A

Predispose patient to infection, Hyperglycemia, Cataract formation, increased IOP, Osteoporosis, Mood changes: hyper and happy

149
Q

What is the neurotransmitter and receptor of postganglionic sympathetics? Long or short?

A

Long, NE alpha/beta

150
Q

Which antimetabolite should be avoided in pregnancy ?

A

Methotrexate

151
Q

What adrenergic receptor prevents urination?

A

Alpha 1

152
Q

What is the distribution and elimination of muscarinic blockers?

A

Most are widely distributed through CNS. They are eliminated via the kidney.

153
Q

Which cancer drugs tend to have fewer adverse effects?

A

Monoclonal antibodies because they can be directed at specific targets.

154
Q

What is Tx for cardiac arrest?

A

Isoproterenol, Epinephrine

155
Q

Which cancer drug treats melanoma?

A

Dacarbazine

156
Q

Vomiting and diarrhea are uncommon for which anticancer drug?

A

Docetaxel and Paclitaxel

157
Q

What is good for accurate refraction?

A

Homatropine or cyclopentolate

158
Q

What is the neurotransmitter and receptor of postganglionic parasympathetics? Long or short?

A

Short, Ach muscarinic

159
Q

What is the tissue target and actions for Beta 1?

A

Heart (increases force and rate of contraction)

160
Q

AE: Severe vomiting, Nephrotoxicity, Ototoxicity

A

Cisplatin

161
Q

Nn nicotinic receptors are on ___

A

Neurons

162
Q

What are beta blockers used for clinically?

A

Hypertension, Ischemic heart disease by regulating heartbeat and decreasing O2 demand, Cardiac arrhythmias, Heart failure, Glaucoma, Hyperthyroidism, migraines, tremors and stage fright/anxiety

163
Q

What can treat COPD and Asthma?

A

Ipratropium or Tiotropium

164
Q

What happens when you activate Beta 2 receptors?

A

Bronchodilation, elevates blood glucose (via glycogen breakdown) and increases glucagon secretion from pancreas. Also decreases blood glucose via insulin. Relaxes smooth ciliary muscle to decrease accommodation.

165
Q

Which cancer drug Sensitizes the patient to radiation (sun)?

A

Dactinomycin

166
Q

What is good for dilated fundus exam?

A

Tropicamide or Cyclopentolate

167
Q

What treats breast cancer?

A

First line treatment: Tamoxifen Aminoglutethimide, Anastrozole and Letrozole, Exemestane [all aromatase inhibitors]. For advanced breast cancer: Leuprolide and Goserelin [GnRH analogs]

168
Q

Which antibiotic cancer drug can cause irreversible cardiotoxicity?

A

Doxorubicin

169
Q

What can treat urinary urgency or bladder spasm?

A

Oxybutynin (Muscarinic blocker)

170
Q

Which alkylating agent can penetrate the CNS?

A

Carmustine, Lomustine

171
Q

What is the goal of chemotherapy?

A

Goal is to cause a lethal cytotoxic event or apoptosis in the cancer cell or arrest tumor’s progression

172
Q

What happens if the cocaine drops do not cause dilation?

A

Horner’s syndrome is from postganglionic lesion

173
Q

What was developed as a mustard gas during WWI

A

Mechlorethamine
