MOA of drugs Flashcards
Heparin
Effects on triglycerides?
Bounds lysine on AT III enhancing AT III’s ability to neutralize thrombin (factor II) and factors IX, X, XI, XII
Increase release of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) with insulin (decrease TG), then an effective alternative Tx for high triglycerides induced acute pancreatitis
Heparin decreases TG and Cho
Aspirin
Irreversibly inhibits production of thromboxane by inhibiting COX (arachidonic acid —>PGH2)
Antiemetics MOA
- 5HT3 antagonist: ___, ___, ___
- 5HT4/serotonin agonist: ___, ___, ___
- Dopamine-2 antagonist: ___, ___, ___
- NK-1 receptor antagonist: ___
- Proton pump inhibitor: ___ (inhibit P450)
- H2 antagonist: ___, ___ (inhibit P450), ___
Antiemetics MOA
- 5HT3 antagonist: ondansetron, metoclopramide, cisapride
- 5HT4/serotonin agonist: cisapride, metoclopramide, erythromycin
- D-2 antagonist: metoclopramide, domperidone, chlorpromazine
- NK-1 receptor antagonist: maropitant
- Proton pump inhibitor: omeprazole (inhibit P450)
- H2 antagonist: famotidine, cimetidine (inhibit P450), ranitidine
What microorganisms are resistant to penicillin and beta-lactam?
Pseudomonas and Mycobacterium
Mycoplasma??
Four anaerobic antibiotics
amoxicillin, cephalexin, metronidazole, clindamycin
NSAID which causes irreversible COX inhibittion
Aspirin
Omeprazole
Irreversibly binds H-K ATPase at parietal cell
Inhibits CYP 450
Decreased CSF production
Cyclosporine
Binds to cyclophilins which associated with Ca dependent calcineurin-calmodulin complexes
Stopping dephosphoorylation of NFAT
Decreases IL-2 production in G0 phase T cells
Also cyclosporine can inhibit insulin release
Allopurinol
Xanthine oxidase inhibitor
Dalmatians, English bulldogs, liver dysfunction
Dalmatians thought to be due to uric acid transport defect which prevents movement of uric acids into hepatocytes for conversion to allantoin by uricase.
4-MP
Competitively inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase preventing formation of oxalic acid if given early to EG ingestion cases
What organisms not killed by Clavamox?
Enterococci
Which skin layer prevents drug absorption?
Stratum corneum
What are the effects of epinephrine on bronchi, vessels iris?
Bronchi: dilation of bronchi
Vessels: vasodilation of muscle/liver (beta2), vasoconstriction of other vessels (beta1)
Iris: mydriasis
Most common neurotransmitter in sympathetic post-ganglionic nerve ending?
NE
What will heparin lower with blood work?
Triglycerides and cholesterol due to increased LPL with heparin
What drug is a platelet adhesion inhibitor?
GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor
GP = glycoprotein
Levetiracetam
Inhibits SV2A which is a voltage-gated Ca channel located on membrane on synaptic vesicles in the neuronal and endocrine system
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)
Inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) necessary for purine synthesis
The rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo synthesis of guanosine nucleotides
Azathioprine
purine analogue that inhibits RNA and DNA synthesis
decreases T cell mainly
may decreases CD8 and NK cells (cell mediated immunity effect)
functions as competitive purine antagonist
PPA (phenylpropanolamine)
Stimulate alpha receptors in urethral sphincter
Used for urinary incontinence (Proin)
Selective norepinephrine releasing agent
Phenobarbital
GABA mimetic
Causes influx of Cl into the cell, creating a more negative RMP; harder to depolarize
AE: necrolytic dermatitis, decreases total and free T4
Potassium bromide (KBr)
Bromide ions compete with Cl transport and membrane hyper polarization and raising seizure threshold
High dietary Cl will enhance renal excretion of KBr
AE: allergic pneumonitis in cats which can be fetal
Zonisamide
Inhibits Na and Ca channels and increases GABA effects
Increases total T4
T-type Ca channel, voltage gated Na channel inhibitor, facilitate dopaminergic/serotonergic neurotransmitter
