MOA Flashcards

1
Q

How do local anesthetics work?

A

wait until Na channel is activated and M gate opens up and allows lipophilic local anesthetic in and produced blockage of Na channel
can also come in during inactivated state

20
Q

Ondansetrone

A

5HT3 antagonist

21
Q

Diazepam (Valium®)

A

Long acting benzodiazepine that activates GABA-A(r) in CNS

Benzodiazepines act by ↑ affinity of endogenous GABA to GABA-AR

22
Q

Clonidine

A

Clonidine activates α2 adrenergic receptors in CNS to ↓ sympathetic outflow

23
Q

Propranolol

A

Propranolol blocks β adrenergic receptors in CNS to decrease sympathetic outflow

24
Q

Disulfiram

A

Inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) → accumulation of acetaldehyde upon alcohol consumption

Acetaldehyde induces N/V, HA, hypotension

25
Q

Naltrexone

A

Inhibits mu opioid receptors in ventral tegmental region (VTA) of brain; long acting antagonist

26
Q

Naloxone

A

Narcan test

Inhibits mu opioid receptors in ventral tegmental region (VTA) of brain; short acting antagonist

27
Q

Acamprosate, Topiramate

A

Anti-craving mechanism unknown.

These drugs treat epilepsy by ↑ activity of inhibitory GABA-A(r) and inhibiting excitatory glutamatergic receptor activity

28
Q

Fomepizole, Ethanol

A

Binds with high affinity to alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) thereby preventing metabolism of methanol and ethylene glycol to toxic metabolites

29
Q

N- acetylcysteine (NAC)

A

Neutralizes reactive intermediates resulting from metabolism of acetaminophen by P450 enzymes CYP2E1, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4

30
Q

Ribavirin (HCV)

A

Guanosine analog that is phosphorylated intracellularly by host cell enzymes
→ blocks capping of viral mRNA and inhibits viral RNA-dependent polymerase → mutations in RNA (no longer functional)

31
Q

Pegylated (Peg) Interferon

A

Induces intracellular signals → inhibition of viral penetration/translation/transcription/protein processing/maturatio and release

32
Q

Sofosbuvir

Sovaldi

A

RNA-dependent HCV Polymerase inhibitor (NS5B inhibitors)

33
Q

Ledipasvir

A
Blocks replication (NS5A interacts with NS5B) via preventing RNA binding to polymerase
→  Inhibits viral assembly and release
34
Q

H2 Receptor Antagonists

A

Directly block histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion on parietal cell

35
Q

Omeprazole

A

Irreversible inhibition of parietal Cell proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase) → ↓ gastric acid secretion

Weak base accumulates in parietal cell canaliculus → protonated form of drug binds covalently to enzyme

36
Q

Antacids

A

Weak bases that are poorly absorbed (so stay in GI lumen) and directly neutralize stomach acid

37
Q

Sucralfate

A

Form paste like get at low pH that adheres to positively charged proteins of epithelial cells as well as ulcer craters to form coating that protects cells against acid

38
Q

Bismuth Subsalicylate
