Q

What are the functional groups in alpha/beta agonists agents?

A

They are alpha beta agonists.
Phenethylamine core
beta-OH affects activity.
alpha-CH3 decreases activity but may increase DOA
As you increase size on the alpha 1 amine you decrease alpha and beta activity

22
Q

What is the metabolism of the alpha/beta agonists agents?

A

Dipivefrin into Epi into Norepi into vanilylmadelic acid (VMA) via COMT

23
Q

What are the alpha 2 agonists and what do they do??

A 
Apraclonidine HCl (Lopidine) - does not cross BBB (adds an amine group to clonidine)
Brimonidine tartrate (Alphagan) -1000 x more alpha 2 selective than clonidine (adds an pyrazine to clonidine)
lower intraocular fluid production and increase outflow
24
Q

What are the functional groups in alpha 2 agonists that affect SAR?

A

Imidazoline

Guanidine

25
Q

What are the beta antagonists and what do they do?

A 
betaxolol HCl (Betoptic)
carteolol HCL (Ocupress)
levobunolol HCl (Betagan)
metipranolol HCl (Optipranolol)
Timolol Maleate (Timoptic)
decreases intraocular fluid production
26
Q

What is the common core of the beta antagonists?

A

aryloxypropranolamine

27
Q

Cartelol is the flipped structure of timolol, how does this affect the metabolism?

A

The half-life is longer.

28
Q

Most p-aryloxpropanolamines are _________.

A

beta 1 antagonists.

29
Q

Aryloxypropanolamines are more potent than _____________.

A

arylethanolamines

30
Q

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors have what in their active site?

A

Ziinc

31
Q

What do CAI’s do?

A

decrease intraocular fluid production

32
Q

What is the metabolism of CAI?

A

CA turns carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid and then into bicarbonate ion which creates a hyperosmotic environment. The hyperosmotic environment then pulls in the water so when you use an inhibitor it stops the creation of bicarbonate ions which is an ingredient of AH. Therefore it stops the production of AH.

33
Q

What are the CAI’s?

A 
Topical:
Brinzolamide (Azopt)
Dorzolamide (Trusopt)
Oral:
Acetazolamide (Diamox)
methazolamide (Neptazane)
34
Q

What are the SAR of CAI?

A

Acidic aryl SO2NH2

35
Q

What are the direct acting cholinergic agents?

A

affect Acetylcholine and increases fluid outflow
Carbachol Chloride (IsoptoCarbachol) - weak indirect as well
Pilocarpine (Isoptocarpine)

36
Q

What are the indirect acting cholinergics

A 
They inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChe)
Reversible:
Physostigmine sulfate (IsoptoEserine)
Irreversible:
Echothiophate iodide (Phospholidine iodide)
37
Q

What are the SAR of direct-acting cholinergics?

A

Ester groups and onium groups
all substitutions decrease activity
alpha substitutions decrease nicotinic activity
beta substitutions decrease muscarinic activity

38
Q

What are the SAR of the indirect acting cholinergics?

A

acetyl, Carbamyl, and Phosphoryl interact with esteractic site in AchE
Duration of the AChE inhibition - depends upon FG present. The bigger the better at inhibited.

What is the SAR of mast cell stabilizer?

A

not clearly established.

47
Q

What are the dual acting agents for allergic conjunctivitis?

A 
H1 antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers
Emedastine (Emadine)
azelastine (Astelin)

48
Q

What SAR is found in H1 antihistamines?

A

diarylalkylamine pharmacophore

49
Q

How do glucocorticoids work?

A

Agents bind to the GR and activate the GR complex to produce proteins which suppress pro-inflammatory proteins.

50
