Exam 3 immune modulators/antifinflammatory agents for AI Flashcards
MOA of what drug is: reduce inflammation, pain and fever
Aspirin and NSAIDS (cornerstones of tx)
MOA of what drug is: interferes with prostaglandin synthesis
sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) (Used for tx of RA when NSAIDS are inadequate)
MOA of what drug is: Inhibits pyrimidine synthesis, resulting in anti-proliferatice and anti-inflammatory effects
lefunomide (Arava)
MOA of what 3 drugs is an TNF alpha blocker - binds to TNF molecules and blocks interaction with cell surface receptors
entanercept (Enbrel)
inflizimab (Remicade)
adalimumab (Humira)
MOA of what drug is an interleukin 1-receptor antagonist (blocker)
anakinra (Kineret)
5 categories that make up DMARDS (disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs)
- Immune modulators
- Anticytokine therapies
- Antimalarials
- Penicillamine
- Gold (unknown mechanism, many possibilities)
When are DMARDS used?
On pts who do not respond to cox2 inhibitors - slows course of disease (RA/OA) may induce remission and prevent further destruction of joints/tissue
Which drug depresses circulating IgM rheumatodi factor, and depresses Tcell activity?
Penicillamine
2 classes of immunosuppressants used to treat AI diseases
- cyclosporine
2. steroids
Which drug inhibits the production and release of interleukin II and inhibits interleukin II induced activation of resting T lymphocytes?
cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Gengraf, Neoral, Restasis)
Which drug Increase in concentration in neutrophils and decrease in lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. It also inhibits phospholipase A, IL-2 migration, and decrease production of both prostaglandins and leukotrienes from arachidonic acid
Steroids
4 Aspirin side effects
1, GI ulceration and bleeding
- Kidney retention of sodium and water - may cause hyperkalemia and edema
- Tinnitus (sign of toxicity)
- respiratory acidosis (toxicity)
4 side effects of sulfasalazine (Azulfidine)
- headache
- photosensitivity
- GI distress
- anorexia
5 side effects of celebrex (cox2 inhibitor)
- stroke
- decreases effectiveness of BP meds
- MI
- Bleeding - asses when using warfarin
- cross sensitivity with NSAIDS allergy
- contraindicated with sulfonamide allergy
What drug can cause prolonged bleeding and oral aphthous ulcerations/aphthous stomatitis?
aspirin and NSAIDS
