Pharm Flashcards
Pulm HTN Drugs
Endothelin-R Antagonist (Bosentan), PDE-5 Inhibitors (Sildenafil), Prostacyclin analog (eproprosentenol, iloprost)
Anatgonize endothelin-1 receptors = decreased pulm vascular resistance.
Name drug and toxicity
Bosentan
Hepatotoxic (monitor LFT)
Inhibit cGMP PDE5 and prolong vasodilatory effect of NO. Used for Pulm HTN and erectile dysfunction
Sildenafil
PGI2 (prostacyclin) with direct vasodilatory effect on pulm and systemic arteries. Decrease pulm HTN and inibi platelet aggregation
Protacyclin analogs = Epoprosentenol, Iloprost
toxicity = jaw pain and flushing
Doxorubicin MOA
Antitumor Antibiotic.
form free radicals –> can be neutralized in most tissues, except for tumor cells and cardiac cells (cardiotoxicity: DCM) and causes alopecia also.
Treatment for Doxorubicin cardiotaxoicity
Dexrazoxane (Fe-chelator)
Cisplatin MOA
Cross-link DNA (alkylating agent)
Cisplatin toxicity
Nephrotoxic and ototoxic (acoustic nerve). Also nausea and vomiting (tx w/ondansetron). Note: no bone marrow supp.
Tx for cisplatin nephrotoxicity
Amifostine
Antibiotic metabolized to 5-FU: name and organism
Flucytosine. Use for Cryptococcus
inhibits dUMP–>dTMP (Thymidylate Synthase) (=decreased DNA synthesis)
5-Fluorouracil
unique feature that antitumor drug can be taken topically
5-FU topically to tx basal cell carcinoma
Myelosuppression tx with Leucovorin (folinic acid)
Rescues methotrexate bone marrow suppression but NOT 5-FU
Allopurinol interferes with which anti-tumor drug
6-mercaptopurine and Azothiopurine(metab into 6-mp) –> its metabolized by XO, which Allopurinol inhibits
drugs that inhibit microtubules (i.e. drugs that can be used in M phase)
Vincas, pacliataxel, colchicine
Toxicity of vinca’s
Vinblastine follows the rule of most antitumor: Bone Marrow Suppression (blasts bone marrow)
Vincristine breaks it: Neuro toxicity (periph neuropathy aka tingling)
Anticancer drugs that do NOT suppress bone marrow (3)
Vincristine (neurotoxic), Cisplatin (nephrotoxic and ototoxic), and Bleomycin (pulm fibrosis)
Anticancer drug that causes hematuria
Cyclophosphamide –> hemorrhagic cystitis
Ototoxic agents
Cisplatin, Furesomide (loops), Aminoglycosides, salicylates
Name 3 Loop diuretics (sulfonamides)
Furosemide, Bumetanide, Torsemide. Also, Ethacrynic acid is a nonsulfonamide with same MOA.
Loop toxicity
Ototoxicity, Hypokalemia, HYPOcalcemia (loops lose Ca), Hyperuricemia (GOUT)
Loop MOA drug that can be used in pt with sulfa allergy
Ethacrynic acid
Why not use a beta-blocker DURING heart failure?
Would further inhibit CO
Side effects of Thiazides
Hyponatremia, Hypokalemia (metab acidosis). Hyperglycemia, Hyperuricemia (gout), HYPERcalcemia
