Q

SAR of BZDs: 2 things to know (slide 18)

23
Q

what SE of Z-hypnotics should we warn pts about?

A

nocturnal activity, so doing things while they are asleep such as driving, cooking, eating, etc

24
Q

which of the following is a long-acting barbiturate and anticonvulsant?

a. phenobarbital
b. pentobarbital
c. secobarbital
d. thiopental

A

a. phenobarbital

25
Q

which of the following is a short-to-intermediate acting sedative-hypnotic barbiturate?

a. phenobarbital
b. pentobarbital
c. secobarbital
d. thiopental

A

b. pentobarbital

26
Q

which SE of barbiturates can lead to death?

A

respiratory depression

27
Q

barbiturates and BZDs bind to which GABA-A receptors subunits?

A

alpha 1-5

28
Q

Z-hypnotics bind to GABA-A ____ receptors of ___ and inc _______ of GABA-A channel opening

A

BZ1; alpha 1; frequency

29
Q

which of the following does NOT increase frequency of GABA-A channel opening?

a. barbiturates
b. BZDs
c. Z-hypnotics

A

a. barbiturates

30
Q

the GABA-B receptor is what kind of receptor?

A

Gi/o-coupled (metabotropic; inhibitory)

31
Q

which of the following is FALSE about the GABA-B receptor?

a. it is Gi/o-coupled
b. located in brain and limbic system
c. presynaptic GABA-B activation leads to decreased calcium conductance
d. postsynaptic GABA-B activation leads to decreased potassium conductance
e. baclofen and GHB are agonists

A

d. postsynaptic GABA-B activation leads to decreased potassium conductance

(increased potassium conductance)

32
Q

antagonist of GHB

A

there is none (meaning no reversal drug in the case of toxicity)

33
Q

ramelteon is a melatonin _______

a. antagonist
b. agonist

A

b. agonist

34
Q

ramelteon MOA

A

-has high affin for MT1 and MT2 melatonin receptors in the SCN
-serves as “master clock” by regulating circadian rhythm

35
Q

T or F: there is no abuse, withdrawal, or dependency with ramelteon

A

T

36
Q

which drug is considered an orphan product?

a. melatonin
b. ramelteon
c. tasimelteon
d. suvorexant

A

c. tasimelteon

(only approved in a specific population i.e. blind pts)

37
Q

what is orexin? how do orexin receptor antagonists work for insomnia?

A

Orexin neurons in the hypothalamus produce orexin, which regulates sleep-wake cycles and helps drive arousal and attention (basically helps you stay awake). Blocking these receptors promotes sleep (reducing arousal) and decreases wakefulness

38
Q

drug that is an orexin receptor antagonist

A

suvorexant (Belsomra)

39
Q

suvorexant MOA:
receptors located in the _________; decreases arousal and attention; reduces ______ stimuli (DA release) via receptors that modulate the mesolimbic projections between the _____ and the _____ _____

A

hypothalamus; rewarding; VTA; nucleus accumbens

40
Q

indication for suvorexant

A

tx of insomnia

41
Q

two drugs/drug classes that can be used as a sedative/hypnotic (slide 14; lec 59)

A

trazodone
antihistamines (OTC)

42
Q

what drug class are diphenhydramine, doxylamine, and pyrilamine?

A

antihistamines

43
Q

which herbal/natural sedative-hypnotic can be used for jet lag and for night shift workers?

a. tryptophan
b. melatonin
c. valerian
d. chamomile

A

b. melatonin

44
Q

AE of valerian

A

hepatotoxicity

45
Q

how can too much NE lead to anxiety?

A

too much NE stimulates ANS (fight or flight), and enhances sensitivity to the amygdala (fear center) leading to anxiety

46
Q

glutamate is converted to GABA by which enzyme in the CNS?

A

glutamic acid decarboxylase

47
Q

which drug tx for anxiety is quick acting and effective?

a. BZDs
b. SSRIs
c. SNRIs
d. TCAs
e. buspirone

A

a. BZDs

48
Q

new breakthrough nasal spray antidepressant

A

esketamine

49
Q

which of the following is TRUE about buspirone?

a. full agonist on brain 5HT1A receptors
b. longer onset of action than BZD (adaptive response)
c. high abuse potential
d. good for panic disorders

A

b. longer onset of action than BZD (adaptive response)

(a is partial agonist; c is low abuse potential; d is not good for panic disorders, BZD is much faster)

50
Q

why does propranolol’s dose need to tested and titrated initially when used for social anxiety?

A

it is sedating, so they might go to sleep if dose is too high

51
Q

propranolol decreases _______ sx of anxiety

A

peripheral

52
Q

uses of clonidine for anxiety (2 of them)

A

panic attacks; anxiety assoc with withdrawal

53
Q

4 glutamatergic agents that are investigational anxiolytics

A

d-cycloserine
memantine
fenobam
LY354740

54
Q

d-cycloserine and memantine fall under which class?

a. NMDA receptor modulators
b. mGluR5 antagonist
c. mGluR2/3 agonist

A

a. NMDA receptor modulators

55
Q

fenobam is a glutamatergic agent that falls under which class?

a. NMDA receptor modulators
b. mGluR5 antagonist
c. mGluR2/3 agonist

A

b. mGluR5 antagonist

56
Q

LY354740 is a glutamatergic agent that falls under which class?

a. NMDA receptor modulators
b. mGluR5 antagonist
c. mGluR2/3 agonist

A

c. mGluR2/3 agonist
