24
Q

which gout drugs are ued to treat acute gout

A

colchicine indomethacin

25
Q

MOA colchicine

A

depolymerizes MT, impairing WBC chemotaxis and degranuation

26
Q

side effects of colchicine

27
Q

what drug is a good alternative to colchicine?

A

indomethacin (less toxic, more commonly used)

28
Q

MOA probenecid

A

inhibits resorption of uric acid

29
Q

MOA allopurinal

A

inhibits xanthine oxidase, so less formation of uric acid

30
Q

aside from gout, what else can allopurinal be used to treat?

A

can help with sx of tumor lysis syndrome, seen in lymphoma/leukemia following chemo

31
Q

what is the original source of uric acid

A

purines from diet and broken down nucleic acids

32
Q

fxn of xanthine oxidase

A

hypoxanthine –> xanthine –> uric acid (blocked by allopurinol)

33
Q

describe interference of probenecid and penicillin

A

inhibits secretion of penecillin

34
Q

what promotes tubular secretion of uric acid

A

diuretics and low dose salicylates

TNF-alpha AB

38
Q

uses for infliximab

A

crohns dz RA ankylosing spondylitis

39
Q

toxicity of infliximab

A

predisposes to infection (reactivates latent TB)

40
Q

MOA cyclosporine

A

binds to cyclophilins, blocking differentiation and activiation of t cells by inhibiting calcineruin (prevents the production of IL2 and receptor)

41
Q

fxn of calcineurin

A

phosphatase that activates IL2

42
Q

use for cyclosporine

A

suppress organ transplants treats some autoimmune d/o

43
Q

toxicity of cyclosporine

A

predisp to viral infx and lymphoma NEPHROTOXIC (prevent w mannitol diuresis)

44
Q

MOA tacrolimus

uses of tacrolimus

A

immunosuppression following organ transplant

46
Q

toxicity of tacrolimus

A

nephrotoxic peripheral neuropathy HTN pleural effusion hyperglycemia

47
Q

moa azathioprine

A

interferes with metabolism and synth of nucleic acids toxic to prolif wbc

48
Q

uses of azathioprine

A

kidney transplant autoimmune d/o glomerulonephritis hemolytic anemia

49
Q

toxicity of azathioprine

A

bone marrow suppression

50
Q

what is the active metabolite of azathioprine how is it metabolized implication
