Exam 3-Paracrine Flashcards
examples of paracrines
PGs TLs and histamine
main intermediate to the eicosanoids pathway
arachidonic acid
NSAIDs inhibit
COX1 and 2, also called PGH Synthase 1 and 2
Costricosteroids inhibit
COX 1 and 2 as well as phospholipase A2 (PLA2)
eicosanoid antagonists work to block
leukotrienes
prostanoids
PGs and TXA
uses for eicosanoids and analogs
limited by kinetics, natural forms not orally available, short systemic half life
eicosanoid drugs for abortion
dinoprostone (facilitate labor) carboprost (stop hemorrhage) misoprostol (prevent ulcers)
eicosanoid drugs for ED or ductus arteriosus
alprostadil
eicosanoid drugs for pulm htn
epoprostenol, treprostinil, iloprost
eicosanoid drugs for glaucoma
lantanprost, travoprost, bimaprost, unoprostone
eicosanoid drugs for constipation
lubiprostone (activates Cl channels in the intestine to increase fluid)
prostanoid synthesis: arachidonic acid makes
PGG2 and PGH2
PGH2 makes
proaggregants and antiaggregants
proaggregants
TXA2 works at TP receptor
PGE2 works at P1-4 receptor
prostanoid for glaucoma
PGF2alpha at the FP receptor
antiaggregants
PGI2 (prostacyclin) at IP receptor
PGD2 at DP1-2 receptor
15 deoxy at DP2 receptor
Overall eicosanoids do the following
contract uterine muscle
vasoconstrict (pp hem)
decrease IOP
hypertricosis
PGF2alpha analogs for glaucoma: latanoprost, travoprost, tafluprost, bimatroprost. MOA/SE
MOA: reduce IOP by increasing aqueous humor outflow via activation of FP receptors.
SE: eye irritation, melanogenesis, hypertrichosis.
EACH should be combined with timolol
PGE2 eicosanoids in general do the following
contract uterine muscle
inhibit gastric acid
tx ED
maintain patent ductus arteriosis
PGE2 eicosanoids in general have these SE
vasoconstrict or dilate
contract GI smooth muscle
decrease pain threshold
stimulate Bicarb
These delay onset of labor because they can inhibit uterine contraction
NSAIDS
Dinoprostone (PGE2)
Prepidil gel
Prostin E2 supp
Cervidil insert
inducing abortion, facilitate labor, fetal death, hydatidiform mole
MOA: contraction of uterine smooth muscle via EP1 or EP3.
SE: NVD, change in BP
carboprost (15 PGF20)
hemabate IM
induce abortion, pp hemorrhage.
MOA: contraction of uterine smooth muscle via FP receptors
SE: NVD, change in BP
misoprostol (PGE1)
cytotec PO
induce abortion, prevent NSAID induced ulcers
MOA: EP1 or EP3 increase mucus or decrease H
SE: NVD, change in BP
alprostadil (PGE1)
for ED
MOA: relaxes corpora cavernosa sm muscle and dilates arteries via EP2 or EP4 receptors
SE: pain or priapism
[can be injected with phentolamine (alpha1/2 antagonist) or papaverine (vasodilator)]
alprostadil (PGE1) for fetal circulation
maintains patent ductus arteriosus
MOA: replaces endogenous PGI2 which keeps ductus open via IP receptors
SE: apnea, brady, hypoTN, hyperpyrexia
(indomethacin used to tx delayed closure)
PGIs effects in general
vasodilation (pulm htn), inhibit plt aggregation
PGIs SE in general
vasodilation of vasculature, contract GI, decrease pain threshold
Epropostanol (Flolan) (prostacyclin analog)
for pulm HTN, given through central line, half life minutes
MOA: vasodilation via IP receptors
SE: NV, HA, hypoTN, flushing, inj pain, inf site infections
interaction: anti-hypertensives and anticoags
Treprostinil (Remodulin) (prostacyclin analog)
for pulm HTN, given through central line or SQ, half life hours.
MOA: vasodilation via IP receptors
SE: NV, HA, hypoTN, flushing, inj pain, inf site infections
interaction: anti-hypertensives and anticoags
Iloprost (ventavis TM) (prostacyclin analog)
for pulm HTN inhaled, half life 20-30min.
MOA: vasodilation via IP receptors
SE: NV, HA, hypoTN, flushing, inj pain, inf site infections
interaction: anti-hypertensives and anticoags
TXA2s in general
no useful effects for analog drugs but physiological effects include: vasoconstrict, contract bronch sm muscle, contract GI, contract non preg uterine muscle. NSAIDs and ASA help with decreased pain threshold and the plt aggregation
Leuko pathway: Zafirlukast and Montelukast inhibits
CysLT2 and CysLT1/2
Leuko pathway: zileuteon inhibits
5LOX
Leuko LTC4 and LTD4 (cysteinyl leuks) MOA
act at receptor CysLT1/2 and signal Gq pathway to increase Ca and cause airway smooth muscle contraction
Leuko LTB4
act at BLT1 receptor through Gi an G16 second messenger to increase Ca and stimulate immune cell attraction
reversal of bronchospasm
epi or short beta 2 agonists (albuterol and levalbuterol)
prevent bronchospasm
slow/long act beta 2
agonists (salmeterol and formoterol)
