Q

What other cells support the HCl secretory function of parietal cells?

A

20
Q

Which prostaglandins enhance cytoprotective mechanisms, increase bicarbonate secretion, increase mucous thickness, and increase mucosal blood flow in the GI tract?

A

PGE 1 and 2

21
Q

What structural element in the GI tract ensures mucosal integrity against back diffusion of H+?

A

tight junctions between gastric cells

22
Q

What is the target of PPIs?

A

H+/K+ ATPase

23
Q

What is the target of H2receptor antagonist?

A

Rs histamine receptor

24
Q

How are H2RA’s metabolized?

A

hepatic p450

25
Q

How are H2RA’s excreted?

A

renally

26
Q

How are H2RA’s dosed?

A

continuous dosing for a gastric pH of 4

27
Q

How do H2RA’s work?

A

blocks H2 to limit H+ secretion –> elevated pH inactivates pepsin

28
Q

How quickly are H2RA’s absorbed and onset?

A

rapid absorption and quick onset

29
Q

What are the primary drug interactions of H2RAs?

A
  1. cimetidine binds to p450 and increases levels of warfarin, phenytoin, diazepam
  2. ranitidine binds less avidly, famotidine and nizatidine do not bind the p450 systme
30
Q

How do PPI’s work?

A

irreversibly block H+/K+ ATPase in the final common pathway and reduce acid secretion by parietal cells in lumen

31
Q

What kind of receptor function do H2RAs have?

A

competitive antagonist

32
Q

Of PPIs and H2RAs, which is more effective?

A

PPIs have more effect and longer lasting effect on acid secretion

33
Q

How are PPIs delivered?

A

prodrugs with acid resistant coating

34
Q

Where is the outer layer of PPIs dissolved?

A

small intestine –> alkaline environment

35
Q

T/F lipophilic prodrug of PPI is inactive at neutral/alkaline pH

A

true

36
Q

How is PPI prodrug absorbed?

A

blood stream

37
Q

What happens to PPIs at the level of the parietal cell?

A

cross membrane, protonated, concentrated, sulphonated, binds to atpase

38
Q

Plasma half life of PPIs like omebrazole?

A

1-2 hours but duration of action is 24-36 hours because of the capsule –> highly effective with single dose inhibiting ~65% of acid secretion

39
Q

PPI side effects

A
  1. high level of gastrin production interferes with negative feedback loop and may cause gastric carcinoid tumors (in rats)
  2. long term use reduces calcium absorption and reduced osteoclast acid production = hip fx risk
  3. increased respiratory infections from changed bacteria in GI tract
40
Q

weak bases that neutralize HCl to form a salt and H2O are called ____

A

antacids

41
Q

Antacid adverse effects depend on ____

A

the specific ion–> but they all have chalky tastes and may affect the absorption of other drugs, specifically tetracyclines

42
Q

Adverse effects of antacids: Mg

A

diarrhea, muscle weakness –> Mg accumulation can cause renal failure

43
Q

Adverse effects of antacids: AL

A

constipation, binds phosphate (protects against renal failure) –> may contribute to osteomalacia

44
Q

Adverse effects of antacids: Ca (TUMS)

A

rebound acid secretion, nephrocalcinosis (“milk alkali syndrome”)

45
Q

Tx of H pylori

A

triple/quadruple regimens:

  1. clarithromycin, amoxiccilin ppi
  2. clarithomycin, metranidazole, ppi
  3. levofloxacin, metronidazole, ppi, bisumuth
46
Q

Misoprostol GI effects

A

primary prevention of GU in NSAID users, decrease hemorrhage risk if already using NSAID –> use limited by GI side effects of bloating and diarrhea + abortifacient effect

47
Q

Sucralfate MOA

A

binds to GI mucosa and stimulates mucous, bicarbonate and PGE2 production/secretion –> increases resistance to pepsin

  • not absorbed, no direct effect on acid production

basically coats your tummy and makes you feel better
