Final all Drugs Flashcards
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-a (PPAR-a) agonists
Upregulate apo A-I, A-II
Downregulate apo C-III
lowers LDL
increases HDL
Gemfibrozal
Fenofibrate
“fibrates”
HMGcoA reductase inhibitors
upregulate hepatocyte LDL receptors
decrease triglycerides
statins
Decreases catabolism of apo AI and reduces VLDL secretion
Niacin
Binds bile acids in gut –> excretion
Liver takes more cholesterol out of circulation to make more bile
lower LDL
Colestipol
Blocks sterol transporter NPC1L1 in intestine brush border
decreases cholesterol absorbed
lower LDL
Ezetimibe
irreversible COX I and II inhibitor. Stops the synthesis of thromboxane, which is responsible for platelet activation.
aspirin
***Baby ASA preferentially inhibits TXA production, leading to an overall vasodilatory effect (PGI2 is vasodilatory and is not inhibited at 81mg dose).
o MOA: activation of K+ channels and inhibition of L-type Ca2+ channels
Used for converting SVT
Adenosine
Inhibits Na+/K+/ATPase pump
reverses NCX pump –> increased intracellular Ca2+
increased contractility, SV, CO
decreased HR
Digoxin
selective peripheral vascular Ca2+ blockers
relax VSM
risk of reflex tachycardia
dihydropyridines
”—pine”
selective myocardial Ca2+ blocker
reduce mycordial O2 demand
Tx: angina, arrhythmias
Verapamil
blocks both VSM and myocardial Ca2+ channels
Diltiazem
Binds P.B.P. and blocks transpeptidation of
peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls.
Ceftriaxone
Binds D-ala-D-alanine to prevent NAM/NAG-peptide subunits into peptidoglycan. BLOCKS TRANSGLYCOSYLATION
Vancomycin
Beta-Lactam: Binds P.B.P. and blocks transpeptidation of
peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls.
Penicillin G
AMINO-Beta-Lactam: Binds P.B.P. and blocks transpeptidation of peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls.
Amoxicilin
Converts plasminogen to plasmin thus increasing breakdown of fibrin clots
t-PA
Alteplase
Acts on mu receptors in three locations
analgesic
Morphine
Forms free radical NO
Nitroglycerin
Blocks ADP receptors on platelets
inhibits platelet activation
Clopidogrel
increases Activity of antithrombin III
Heparin
Binds GPIIb/IIIa receptor on activated platelets
inhibits binding of fibrinogen
Eptifibitide
Suppresses RAAS system by inhibiting conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II.
lisinopril
enalapril
ACE inhibitors
Same mechanism as nitroglycerine – longer half life
isosorbide dinitrate
Increases NO synthesis in endothelium.
Hydralazine
Inhibits NKCC2
diuretic
Furosamide
Blocks aldosterone action.
Diuretic
Spirinolactone
Eplerenone
Alteplase
thrombolytic
plaminogen –> plasmin
NTG
vasodilator
Clopidogrel
anti-coagulant
blocks ADP receptors
heparin
anti-coagulant
activates anti-thrombin III
Eptifibitide
anti-coagulant
binds GIIb-IIIa
Lisinopril
ACE inhibitor
Enalapril
ACE inhibitor
-statins
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors
decrease LDL
Metoprolol
selective B-1 blocker
Propanolol
non-selective Beta blocker
