epinephrine MOA
alpha agonist at high doses
beta agonist at low doses
**vasoconstriction, inc heart rate and contractility
**bronchodilation (beta 2 agonist)
norepinephrine MOA
alpha 1, alpha 2 and beta 1 receptor agonists
**vasoconstriction, inc contractility
Dopamine MOA
high doses: alpha 1 receptors
lower doses: beta and D1 receptors
**vasoconstriction, inc heart rate and contractility, promotes renal perfusion
Dobutamine MOA
B1 receptor agonists: INC heart rate and contractility
weak alpha 1 and beta 2 effects
ephedrine MOA
stimulates release of norepinephrine: alpha and beta receptors
inc systolic and diastolic blood pressure: alpha 1 and beta 1
bronchodilation: beta 2 stimulation
phenylephrine moa
alpha 1 agonist: systemic vasoconstriction
albuterol moa
beta 2 receptor agonist: bronchodilation (& transcellular shifts of potassium into the cell)
Propanolol MOA
beta 1 and beta 2 receptor antagonist: dec HR and contractility, dec blood pressure, bronchoconstriction
anti-fungal agents that act on ergosterol
amphotericin B
fluconazole
ketoconazaole
What is ergosterol?
only found in fungal cell membranes
MOA of amphotericin B
binds ergosterol and causes formation of holes in fungal cell membrane
MOA of azoles (ie: fluconazole)
reduce ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting fungal cytochrome P-450 enzymes
Mechanism of Ivermectin
activates GABA receptors, thereby leading to worm paralysis and death
MOA of albendazole
inhibits microtubule syntehsis and function
MOA of pyrantel pamoate
activates parasitic nicotinic receptors, thereby causing worm paralysis
MOA of praziquantel
increases cell Ca uptake, thereby causing parasite contraction and paralysis
MOA of the acetaminophen
preferentially inhibits COX02 in the CNS
What is the antidote for the acetaminophen overdose?
N-acetylcysteine
MOA of cyclopsorine
inhibits calcineurin, therefore IL-2 production is decreased, results in reduced proliferation, differentiation and activation of T cells
**metabolized by cytochrome P-450 enzyme sys
site of action of 5-fluorouracil
interferes with nucleotide synthesis or degradation
site of action of Vincristine
interferes with mitosis
site of action of cisplatn/cyclophosphamide
damages DNA
MOA of cylcophosphamide
alkylating agent and cross-links DNA; supression fo B and T cell function
MOA of Cisplatin
alkylating agent, inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis by binding DNA strands. leads to formation of cross-links between strands
MOA of 5-Fluorouracil
inhibits thymidylate synthasese; leads to disruption of nucleotide synthesis
cell cycle specific– during S phase of the cell cycle
