Q

1) uses 2) class/ MOA 3) ADE 4)Fun fact/note

Cyclosporine

A
  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)

Q

1) uses 2) class/ MOA 3) ADE 4)Fun fact/note

Tacrolimus (FK-506)

A
  1. Post- organ transplant immunosuppression; POTENT
  2. Binds to FK protein->inhibiting calcineurin->preventing IL-2
  3. Nephrotoxicity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, tremor
  4. 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

1) uses 2) class/ MOA 3) ADE 4)Fun fact/note

Sirolimus (rapamycin)

A
  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
  4. SIROlimus= SERIOUS complications: immunosuppression

Q

1) uses 2) class/ MOA 3) ADE 4)Fun fact/note

Azathioprine

A
  1. Immunosuppression post-KIDNEY transplant; autoimmune disorders (including glomerulonephritis and hemolytic anemia)
  2. Antimetabolite. Blocks 6-mercaptopurine synth-> decreased synthesis of nucleic acids. Toxic to proliferating lymphocytes.
  3. Bone marrow suppression.
  4. Active metabolite (mercaptopurine) is metabolized by xanthine oxidase so more toxic when given with allopurinol

Muromonab-CD3 (OKT3)

A
  1. Immunosuppression post-KIDNEY transplant
