Q

SREBP-2 role in statin therapy and cholesterol metabolism

A

protein that binds to SRE-1 which is a transcription factor that promotes up regulation of LDL receptors; promoted by statins by promoting ER to Golgi and cleavage of SREBP to increase number of LDL receptors

Q

Statins to use in patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease

A

High efficacy statins - Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin

17
Q

Statins metabolized by CYP3A4

A

Simvastatin and Atorvastatin (also oxidization)

18
Q

Statins metabolized by sulfation

A

Pravastatin

19
Q

Statins metabolized by CYP2C9

A

Fluvastatin and Rosuvastatin

20
Q

Statins metabolized by UGT1A1

A

all statins undergo glucaronidation by UGT1A1

21
Q

Bile acid sequestrants

A

Colestipol (powder and tablet), Cholestyramine (powder), Colesevelam (tablet)

22
Q

Bile sequestrants drug interactions

A

prevents absorption of digoxin, beta blockers, thyroxine, coumadin

23
Q

Bile sequestrates contraindications

A

hypertriglyceridemia, complex drug regimens and critical medications, history of constipation (elderly)

24
Q

Ezetimibe

A

inhibits absorption of cholesterol by small intestine; no effect on fat soluble vitamins (ADEK); localizes to brush border of small intestinal epithelium; reduces delivery of cholesterol to liver; reduced hepatic cholesterol up regulates LDL receptors, increases clearance of LDL from plasma; distinct and complementary effect of statins

25
Q

Drugs that lower TGs and raise HDL-cholesterol

A

Fibric Acid Derivatives (Fibrates), Nicotinic Acid (niacin), omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (fish oil)

26
Q

Fibric Acid Derivatives

A

Gemfibrozil and Fenofibrate

MOA: ligand for activation fo PPARalpha nuclear receptor

Reduces VLDL, increases HDL, TGs reduced, LDL unchanged

SE: GERD, diarrhea, increased liver enzymes, increased creatinine, gallstones, Teratogenic

27
Q

Gemfibrozil

A

metabolized by liver (UGT1A1), reduces VLDL, TGs; increased HDL; can be used in pts with renal disease

28
Q

Fenofibrate

A

hepatic metabolsim, renal excretion so avoid in renal insufficiency

29
Q

Niacor

A

Immediate release nitrate which requires slow up-titration to minimize flushing

30
Q

Niaspan

A

Extended release - less flushing, better tolerated

31
Q

MOA of Nicotinic Acid

A

Niacin inhibits mobilization of FFA from adipocytes, reduced TG synthesis, ApoB, VLDL; increased HDL; promotes conversion of VLDL to LDL via enhanced Lipoprotein Lipase

Reduction Lp(a) by 30% - unique feature

32
Q

Nicotinic Acid SE

A

cutaneous flushing (treat with aspirin), elevated transaminase, hepatitis, hepatic failure, GI irritation, hyperuricemia/gout, insulin resistance, pregnancy risk C

33
Q

Effects of Omega3s

A

reduce TGs and CV risk, also have anti platelet, anti arrhythmic, and BP lowering effect
