exam 3 Flashcards
Bisphosphonate drugs
alendronate ibandronate risedronate zoledronate etidronate pamidronate
Bisphosphonate MOA
osteoporosis
- incorporated into bond, osteoclasts cannot resorb this bound bone, activity of osteoclasts is decreased
Estrogen agonist drugs
raloxifene
Estrogen agonist MOA
osteoporosis
- affects osteoclasts
Calcitonin MOA
osteoporosis
-decrease osteoclasts activity and number, increase osteoblast activity
Parathyroid Hormone drugs
teriparatide
parathyroid hormone MOA
osteoporosis
-bone growth
RANKL- inhibitor drug
denosumab
RANKL- inhibitor MOA
Osteoporosis
inhibits osteoclast formation, function and survival by blocking RANKL (transmembrane protein)
Parkinson’s disease
- neurological disorder of muscle movement (tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia)
- decreased dopamine receptors
- high levels of Ach
Levodopa MOA
parkinson’s disease
-metabolic precursor to dopamine
carbidopa MOA
parkinson’s disease
-blocks peripheral conversion of levodopa
Dopamine receptor agonist
parkinson’s disease
Restless leg syndrome
dopamine receptor agonist drugs
rotigotine
pramipexole
ropinirolde
bromocriptine
dopamine receptor agonist MOA
Parkinson’s disease
directly stimulates CNS dopamine receptors
COMT- inhibitor disease
parkinson’s disease
COMT- inhibitor drugs
entacapone
COMT- inhibitor MOA
Parkinson’s disease
- target another metabolizer of levodopa and help more reach the CNS
Monoamine Oxidase-B inhibitor disease
Parkinson’s disease
Monamine Oxidase-B inhibitor drugs
rasagiline
selegiline
Monamine Oxidase-B inhibitor MOA
parkinson’s disease
-inhibits the enzyme that breaks down dopamine
Amantadine disease
Parkinson’s disease
Amantadine MOA
Parkinson’s disease
- unclear
- enhance dopamine activity from surviving neurons
Anticholinergic Agents disease
Parkinson’s disease
EPSE
