MOA Flashcards
Chloropheniramine
Inhibit H1 and cholinergic receptors
Diphenhydramine
Inhibit H1 and cholinergic receptors
Dimenhydrinate
Inhibit H1 and cholinergic receptors
Loratadine
Selective H1 inhibition
Cetirizine
Selective H1 inhibition
Fexofenadine
Selective H1 inhibition
Cromolyn Sodium
directly inhibits mast cell degranulation (ion channel blockers)
Aldosterone
Binds to mineralocorticoid receptor
↑Na Channels and Na uptake into the cell
Glucocorticoids
↑Annexan A1 (which inhibits PLA2)
↓cytokine synthesis (TNF α )
↓Production of prostaglandin/leukotriene products (Cox 2)
11β-HSD2
inactivates cortisol by converting it to cortisone
Omalizumab
Binds to FC portion of IgE to block its ability to bind to mast cell
Montelukast
leukotriene receptor antagonist inhibits bronchoconstriction
Theophylline
Inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase in smooth muscle
Ipratropropium Bromide
Block affects of Ach release from vagus on M3
↓smooth muscle contraction and mucus secretion
Tiotropium
Block affects of Ach release from vagus on M3
↓smooth muscle contraction and mucus secretion
Albuterol (SABA)
Bind to β2 and prevents Ca from coming in cell to relax smooth muscle causing airways to open
Inhibit release of mast cell mediators
Salmeterol (LABA)
Bind to β2 and prevents Ca from coming in cell to relax smooth muscle causing airways to open
Inhibit release of mast cell mediators
Fluticasone
Blocks gene transcription (cytokines, chemokines)
↓Inflammatory cells (cytokines)
↑β2 receptors
Prazosin
reversible α1 receptor blocker only
Phenoxybenzamine
irreversible α1 receptor blocker
somewhat selective over α2
Phentolamine
non-selectively blocks α1 and α2
Pindolol
↓CO, ↓plasma renin release and ↓ central sympathetic tone
Acebutolol
↓CO, ↓plasma renin release and ↓ central sympathetic tone
Propanolol
↓CO, ↓plasma renin release and ↓ central sympathetic tone
Timolol
β receptors produce aqueous humor so you block and ↓ aqueous humor and ↓IOP
Atenolol
↓CO, ↓plasma renin release and ↓ central sympathetic tone
Esmolol
↓CO, ↓plasma renin release and ↓ central sympathetic tone
Labetalol
Blocks β2α1 in 4:1 rtio
Carvedilol
Blocks β2α1 in 10:1 ratio
Clonidine
works directly at α2 receptors to
1. Tells enough NE and stops release by acting at presymaptic receptors on postganglionic neurons
- ↓Sympathetic outflow in the brain
α-methyldopa
must be metabolized to α-methyl-NE to
1. Tells enough NE and stops release by acting at presymaptic receptors on postganglionic neurons
- ↓Sympathetic outflow in the brain
Dexmedetomide
α2 receptors n locus coeruleus to
1. Tells enough NE and stops release by acting at presymaptic receptors on postganglionic neurons
- ↓Sympathetic outflow in the brain
Guanethidine
enters via NET and concentrates in vesicle to ↓ NE over time
NE that escapes is metabolized by MAO
Reserpine
enters terminal, membrane blocks VMAT causin ↓NE
NE that escapes is metabolized by MAO
Fiber
Releases FA that inhibit hepatic FA synthesis
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
↑ clearance of TGs
Atrovastatin
Direct inhibition of HMG CoA reductase which leads to
↓ cholesterol→
↑ synthesis of hepatic LDL receptors→
↑ LDL clearance
Pravastatin
Direct inhibition of HMG CoA reductase which leads to
↓ cholesterol→
↑ synthesis of hepatic LDL receptors→
↑ LDL clearance
Cholestyramine
⊕charged so binds to bile acids (cholesterol metabolites) → prevents reabsorption of bile acids → ↑conversion of cholesterol to bile acids→ ↑LDL receptors and ↑LDL clearance from plasma
Can also lead to up regulation of HMG-CoA reductase
Niacin (vit B3)
Inhibits lipase and ↓ TG transport to liver→ ↓TG synthesis in liver
Gemfibrozil
Agonist for PPAR α receptor (a transcription factor)
Evolocumab
blocks degredation of LDL receptor
Nitroglycerin
Converted to NO →↑Guanylate cyclase →↑cGMP→dephosphorylates MLC→↓conractile smooth muscles
Verapamil
Block influx of Ca→↓contractile state of smooth muscle
