Pharma mosby Flashcards
which drugs tend to concentrate in body compartments of high pH?
weak organic acids
*only weak acids and weak bases are greatly affected in their distribution by changes to pH.
drug antagonist having the same intrinsic activity also have the same?
maximal effect
- drug agonist have intrinsict activity of greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1
what receptor or signaling pathway is linked most directly to A2 adrenoreceptor stimulation?
G1 and the reduction of cAMP
- inhibition of adenylyl cyclase through G1 result ing to from stimulation of a2-adrenergic receptor leads to reduction of intracellular cAMP.
what tissue of organ has many muscarinic receptors but lacks innervation to those receptors?
blood vessels
*circulating muscarinic cholinergic receptor agonist stimulate these receptors on endothelial cells,leading to release of nitric oxide and vasodilation
which drug used in the therapy for parkinsonism does not cross the blood brain barrier?
carbidopa is used to inhibit dopa decarboxyalase.
after an injetion,which drug would be expected to have the longest duratin of action? (assume no vasoconstrictor was injected with the loal anesthetic)
bupivacaine
*has the highest lipid solubiliy of the drugs listed
a very low blood gas solubility coefficient (partition coefficient= 0.47) analgesic effect and a drug thst inhibits methionine synthase best describeswhich drug?
nitrous oxide
*oxidazes the cobalt in vitamin B12 resulting in the inhibition of methionine synthase.
levonordefrin is added to certain cartridges contaning mepivacaine. the desired effect of levonorderfrin is due to what pharmacological effect?
alpha adrenergic receptor stimulation
*
accounts fo the vasoconstrictor effect of levonordefrin
the analgesic effects of dextrometophan are due o what receptor effect?
GABA receptor antagonism
*the recently described mild analgesic effect of dextromethophan has been linked to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonism in CNS
naloxone antagonizes the therapeutic and toxic effects of which drugs?
fentanyl
naloxone is a competitive antagonist at opiod receptors
what is the mechanism of the analgesic action of aspirin?
inhibit COX
- cyclooxygenase (COX) is a key enzyme in the synthesis of prostaglandin
what is the clinical setting for the use of ketorolac by the oral route?
to continue therapy after of IV/IM dose of ketorolac
*the use of oral ketorolac (an NSAID) is limited to continue therapy after a parental dose.
the use of H2 histamine receptor blockers is most clinially useful at what cell types?
parietal cells
- basophils and mast cells release histamine
which class of antihypertensive drug most effective reduces the release of renin from the kidney?
B-adrenergic receptor blockers
*renin release from the kidney is enhanced by stimlation of the B1-adrenergic receptors in the juxtaglumerular cells
the administration of which compound will give “epinephrine reversal” (drop in blod pressure from epinephrine) if given prior to adminstration of epinephrine?
phenoxybenzamine
*alpha adrenoceptor blockers like phenoxybenzamine inhibit the vasoconstrictor effect of epinephrine but not the vasodilator of epinephrine
what is the mechanism of action of enoxaparin?
activation of antithrombin 111 with resulting inhibition of clotting factor Xa
oropharyngeal candidiasis is an adverse effect mot likely with which drug?
inhaled beclomethasone
oral antacids re most likely to reduce the absorption of which drug when it is given orally?
tetracyclin
a decrease in glycogenolyis in the liver would be expected from which drug?
insulin
nitrates and nitrites have what effet on blood vessel smooth muscle?
increase in the level of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)
clavulanic acid offer an advantage therapeutically because it has what action?
it inhibits penicillinase
identify the enzyme whoe inhibition is most responsible for the cell wall synthesis inhibitory effect of penicillin G.
transpeptidase
which drug is often combined with sulfamethoxazole for the treatment of respiratory tract and urinary tract infections?
trimethoprin
which of the ff orgaism is usually sensitive to clindamycin?
strep. viridans
dihydrofolate reductase is an enzyme inhibited by which anticancer drug?
methotrexate
AZOSIN
alpha 1 selective ANTAGONIST
OLOL
Beta-blocker
THIAZIDE
diuretic
