MOAs quick recognition Flashcards
Vasodilates
Prostacyclin
Opioid agonist
Eluxadoline
antispasmodic IBS-D
Golimumab
TNF alpha blocker
Inhibits platelet aggregation, vasodilates
PGI2
Inhibits pyrimidine synthesis by inhibiting dihydrooratate dehydrogenase
Leflunomide
Prostaglandin E1 analogues
Misoprostol (anti-inflammatory)
Lubiprostone (Cl- channels increase fluids for constipation)
Partial agonist activity on alpha receptors leads to increased vasoconstriction
Ergotamine
Binds to CD20, blocking B cells (good for lymphomas)
Rituximab
Blocks D2 receptor to decrease motility
Metoclopramide
Blocks IL-1
Anakira
Increase B adrenergic tone leads to better response to SABAs/LABAs
Inhaled corticosteroids
Gs coupled
increase cAMP
H2 receptor
Inhibits assembly of microtubules by binding to tubulin
Colchicine
Increase cAMP to relax smooth muscle
B2 agonists
Theophylline (by inhibiting phosphodiesterase)
Gi coupled
decrease cAMP
H3
H4
