Musculoskeletal,skin,and connective tissue drugs Flashcards
Membrane phospholipids to arachidonic acid - pathways (and steps)
2 pathways:
1. (leukotriene synthesis) arachidonic acid –> 5-HPETE
(5-lipoxygenase) –> Leukotrienes
2. (endoperoxide synthesis) arachidonic acid –> cyclic endoperoxides (COX1/2) –> prostacyclin/prostagladins/thromboxane
5-HPETE
5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid
Leukorienes - types and action
LTB4–> increased neutrophil chemotaxis
LTC4 –> increased bronchial tone
LTD4 –> increased bronchial tone
LTE4 –> increased bronchial tone
5-Lipoxygenase inhibitor
Zileuton
Zileuton - clinical use / side effects
asthma
SE: hepatotoxicity
Leukotriene receptor antagonists (which receptor)
Montelukast
Zafirlukast
(LTC4, LTD4, LTE4)
Montelukast, Zafirlukast - clinical use
aspirin-induced asthma
Thromboxane - types and action
TXA2 –> increased aggregation, increased vascular tone
COX -2 inhibitor (only)
celecoxib
COX - 1/2 inhibitor
ASPIRIN (irreversible) and other NSAIDs
Membrane phospholipids to arachidonic acid - pathways
- leukotriene syntehsis
2. Endoperoxide synthesis
Prostacyclin types and action
PGI2 –> decreases aggregation and vascular tone (vasodilation)
Prostagladins types and action
PGE1 –> decrease vascular tone (vasodilation)
PGE2 –> increases uterine tone
PGF2 –> increases uterine tone
PGI2 is a
prostacyclin
TXA2 is a
thromboxane
PGI2 analog
epoprostenol
iloprost
PGE1 analog
alprostadil
PGE2 analog
Dimopristone
PGF2 analog
carboprost
acetaminophen - mechanism of action
reversible inhibits cycloxygenase, mostly in CNS. INACTIVATED PERIPHERALLY
acetaminophen action in periphery
INACTIVATED PERIPHERALLY
clinical use of acetaminophen
antipyretic and analgesic
NOT ANTI - INFLAMMATORY
acetaminophen action against inflammation
NOT ANTI - INFLAMMATORY
acetaminophen vs aspirin in children with viral infection
acetaminophen is used to avoid Reye syndrome
acetaminophen toxicity
overdose produce hepatic necrosis
acetaminophen toxicity - mechanims
overdose –> acetaminophen metabolite (NAPQI) depletes glutathione and forms toxic tissue byproducts in liver –> hepatic necrosis
antidote of acetaminophen toxicity and mechanism
N-acetylcysteine –> regenerates glutathione
N-acetylcysteine -clinical use
- cystic fibrosis (mucolytic)
