Progestins added to estrogen during HRT to reduce unwanted effects

A

Modified Progestins

137
Q

SAR of Modified Progestins

A

Androstane or pregnane steroid nuclei = Essential for progestic activity

Etc

138
Q

MOA of Anti-Progestins

A

Competes with progesterone at receptor sites

139
Q

SAR of Anti-Progestins

A

Contain C11-phenyl group that aids in competitive receptor blockade

140
Q

Examples of Anti-Progestins

A

Ulipristal
- for emergency contraception

Mifepristone
- for abortion

141
Q

[Anti-Estrogen for Cancer Therapy]
Used for estrogen-related cancer

A

Aromatase Inhibitor

Ex. Anastrozole, Exemestane

142
Q

[Anti-Estrogen for Cancer Therapy]
Used for breast CA, but may cause endometrial CA

A

Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs)

Ex. Ospemifene - dyspareunia
Raloxifene - osteoporosis
Clomifine - infertility

143
Q

3 Primary Hormones involved in managing Ca levels in the Body

A

Calcitonin (CT), Parathyroid hormone (PTH), and Vitamin D

144
Q

Promotes urinary secretion of Ca and prevents intestinal absorption during hyperglycemia

A

Calcitonin

145
Q

Promotes inhibits renal secretion of Ca and promotes bone resorption during hyperglycemia

146
Q

MOA of 2nd Generation SERMs

A

Agonist activity on estrogen receptors in osteoblast and osteoclast but in the breast and uterus

147
Q

SAR of 2nd Generation SERMs

A

Triarlyethylene derivatives of Tamoxifen

Phenol/Phenoxy ring system = Essential to mimic A-ring of estrogen for receptor binding

Propeller orientation of 3 rings = Essential for receptor binding and activity

148
Q

Examples of 2nd Generation SERMs

A

Lasofoxifene, Ospemifene, Bazedoxifene, Toremifene

149
Q

MOA of Bisphophonates

A

Binds to the hydroxyapatite of the bone = Prevents osteoclast activity = Reduces osteoclast proliferation and life span

150
Q

SAR of Bisphophonates

A

Analogs of pyrophsphates

R1-OH = Maximizes affinity for hydroxyapatite = Improved antiresorptive activity

R2 substitution can vary

Amino alkyl with 3-atom chain with the N atom in a heterocyclic ring = Optimal activity

151
Q

Examples of Bisphophonates

A

Etidronate, Risedronate, Alendronate, Pamidronate

(RiEtiAlePami “-dronate”)

152
Q

[Other agents]
Decrease bone resorption by osteoclast

A

Calcitonin

153
Q

[Other agents]
PTH analog, increases number of osteoblast

A

Teriparatide

154
Q

[Other agents]
Calcimimetic, increase Ca sensitivty = Lower PTH secretion = Lower serum Ca levels

A

Cinacalcet

155
Q

[Other agents]
Increases mineralization of hydroxyapatite = Stronger bones/teeth

A

Sodium fluoride

156
Q

[Other agents]
Increase bone formation and decrease bone resorption

A

Strontium ranelate
