Q

<p>Cyclosporine</p>

A

<p>1. Post-transplant immunosuppression; select autoimmune disorders

2. Binds to cyclophilins. Complex blocks differentiation and activation of Tcells--> inhibiting calcineurin--> preventing production of IL-2 and its receptor
3. Nephrotoxicity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, tremor, gingival hyperplasia, hirsutism
4. Think old man with diabetes who wants to look good for his date so he put in dentures and got hair plugs: old (renal failure, HTN, cholesterol), diabetes (hyperglycemia), dentures (gum hyperplasia), hair plugs (hirsutism, and he is taking the drug because of his hair transplant)

& syphillis; Bactericidal for gram-positive cocci, gram-positive
rods, gram-negative cocci, & spirochetes; Not penicillinase resistant

transpeptidase cross-linking of peptidoglycan; Activates autolytic enzymes
3) Hypersensitivity rxns; Hemolytic anemia
4) Resistance: Beta-lactamases cleave Beta-lactam ring

<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Tacrolimus (FK-506)</p>

A

<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>1. Post- organ transplant immunosuppression; POTENT

  1. Binds to FK protein->inhibiting calcineurin->preventing IL-2
  2. Nephrotoxicity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, tremor
  3. Think old with diabetes who is nervous because he is super sick: old (renal failure, HTN, cholesterol), diabetes (hyperglycemia), nervous (tremor), super sick (strong immunosuppressant)

Q

<p>Sirolimus (rapamycin)</p>

A

<p>1. Immunosuppression post-KIDNEY transplant (Give with cyclosporine); used with drug-eluting stents

2. Inhibits mTOR. Decreased cell proliferation in response to IL-2
3. Hyperlipidemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia

Q

<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Azathioprine</p>

A

<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>1. Immunosuppression post-KIDNEY transplant; autoimmune disorders (including glomerulonephritis and hemolytic anemia)

  1. Antimetabolite. Blocks 6-mercaptopurine synth-> decreased synthesis of nucleic acids. Toxic to proliferating lymphocytes.
  2. Bone marrow suppression.
  3. Active metabolite (mercaptopurine) is metabolized by xanthine oxidase so more toxic when given with allopurinol

Demeclocycline

A

1) Acts as diuretic in SIADH; *Rarely used as antibiotic (Role of abx= Borrelia burgdorferi, M. pneumoniae. Drug’s ability to accumulate intracellularly makes it very effective against Rickettsia & Chlamydia.)
2) Tetracycline; MOA in SIADH tx=ADH antagonist; MOA as abx=Bacteriostatic. Bind to 30S & present attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA; Limited CNS penetration. Do not take w/ milk, antacids, or iron-containing preparations b/c divalent cations inhib its absorption in the gut
3) GI distress, Discoloration of teeth & inhib of bone growth in children, Photosensitivity. Contraindicated in pregnancy.
4) Resistance: Decreased uptake into cells or Increased efflus of cell by plasmid-encoded transport pumps.
