5-ASA- moa
-inhibition of PG and LT production via arachidonic acid pathway- COX and LIPOX
5-ASA- contraindications
- ALL contraindicated in ASA-allergic pts
- Sulfasalazine- contraindicated in sulfonamide-allergic pts!!!
5-ASA agents- indications
- mild to moderate Active UC
- maintenance (of remission) of UC
- except- Olsalazine- only maintenance
- except- Balsalazide- only for active
TNF-alpha inhibitors- moa
- neutralizes TNF-alpha-mediated pro-infl cell signaling
- inhibits expression of pro-infl genes
TNF-alpha inhibitors- SE
- infections!!!

alpha integrins- role in what?
lymphocyte migration!!
-alpha4B7- esp migration into GI tract
alpha-4 integrin inhibitors- moa
-limits integrin’s-associated cell adhesion, transendothelial migration, and immune cell activation within inflamed tissue
alpha-4 integrin inhibitors- SE
-infections
-PML(progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy)!!! (esp natalizumab)- opportunistic infection of brain- risk factors: tx > 2yrs, prior immunosuppressant tx, anti-JC virus ab’s
