Q

Carbidopa/Levodopa MOA

A

When levodopa is administered orally, it is rapidly decarboxylated to dopamine in extracerebral tissues so that only a small portion of a given dose is transported unchanged to the CNS. For this reason, when given alone, large doses of levodopa are required for adequate therapeutic effect. However, these doses often result in nausea and other adverse reactions. Carbidopa inhibits decarboxylation of circulating levodopa, preventing nausea and allowing more levodopa to reach the CNS. Carbidopa does not cross the blood-brain barrier and does not affect the metabolism of levodopa within the CNS.

Q

Divalproex MOA

A

Divalproex is composed of sodium valproate and valproic acid. Valproic acid is a carboxylic acid compound whose anticonvulsant activity might be mediated by an inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA. Valproic acid might increase GABA levels by inhibiting GABA metabolism or enhancing postsynaptic GABA activity. Valproic acid also limits repetitive neuronal firing through voltage- and usage-dependent sodium channels.

79
Q

Lamotrigine MOA

A

Lamotrigine is a phenyltriazine derivative unrelated to other marketed antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Lamotrigine inhibits voltage-dependent sodium channels, thereby stabilizing neuronal membranes and reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate and aspartate.

  3. ) Tonic-clonic seizure, primary generalized, adjunct: Children ≥16 y of age and Adults, initial, 500 mg po bid, titrate to target dose of 3000 mg/d; Children 6-15 y of age, initial, 10 mg/kg po bid, titrate to target dose of 60 mg/kg/d
86
Q

Levetiracetam MOA

A

Levetiracetam is a pyrrolidine derivative that is structurally unrelated to other AEDs. Its mechanism of action is unclear and does not relate to any known mechanisms of neuronal excitation or inhibition. The action of levetiracetam in animal models of seizures and epilepsy is unique from other AEDs.

87
Q

A

Antimanic

91
Q

Lithium common FDA indications

A

Bipolar disorder, maintenance therapy: Adults and Children >12 y of age, extended release, 900-1800 mg/d po in 2-3 divided doses; immediate release, initial 300 mg po daily, may titrate to 900-1800 mg po in 3-4 divided doses
Bipolar disorder, manic episode: Adults and Children >12 y of age, extended release, 1800 mg/d po in 2-3 divided doses; immediate release, 600 mg po tid

92
Q

Lithium MOA

A

Lithium’s mechanism of antimanic effect is unknown; it alters the actions of several second-messenger systems (eg, adenylate cyclase and phosphoinositol). Alters cation transport across cell membrane in nerve and muscle cells and influences reuptake of serotonin and/or norepinephrine; second-messenger systems involving the phosphatidylinositol cycle are inhibited.

Quetiapine is an antagonist at multiple neurotransmitter receptors in the brain. It antagonizes serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2, dopamine D1 and D2, histamine H1, and adrenergic α1 and α2 receptors. Efficacy in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is due to the antagonism of a combination of D2 and 5-HT2 receptors.

The exact mechanisms by which topiramate exerts its anticonvulsant and migraine prophylaxis effects are unknown. Electrophysiologic and biochemical evidence suggests that topiramate blocks voltage-dependent sodium channels, augments the activity of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyrate at some subtypes of the GABA-A receptor, antagonizes the AMPA/kainate subtype of the glutamate receptor, and inhibits the carbonic anhydrase enzyme, particularly isozymes II and IV.
