Pharmacology Lipid Disorders Flashcards
Niacin mechanism
in adipose, inhibits FFA mobilization (GPR109A)
in liver, decreases VLDL-TG synth
inhibits uptake of HDL-apoA1
(main effect is to decrease TG)
adverse effects gemfibrozil, fenofibrate
increased creatine kinase is coadmin with statin > renal failure
gemfibrozil may block statin transport in liver (icnreased concentrations)
greatest LDL impact
HMG Coa reductase inhibitors
Atorvastatin
Lovastatin
Simvastatin
mechanism omega3 FA
unique TG lowering properties
results in very low density VLDL TG
pharmacokinetics MTP inhibitors
extensive CYP#A4 to inactive metabolites M1 and M3
contraindications to statins
pregnant, lactating, could become pregnant
hypersensitivty
active liver disease
pharmocokinetics cholestyramien
not absorbed
mechanism ezetimibe
acts at NPC1L1 to decrease absorption of cholesteryl ester incorporation into chylomicrons (reduced cholesterol flux from intestine to liver)
Dominant mechanism for controlling LDL plasma concentrations
Regulation of hepaatic LDL receptor pathway
associated polymorphism with statin myopathy
SLCO1B1
(lead to reduced hepatic uptake and increased plasma concentration)
___ and ___ are admined as inactive lactones, which are transformed to active forms in liver
Simvastatin and lovastatin
niacin mechanism - decrease synthesis of VLDL-TG
inhibit DGAT2 that catlayzes final TG synthesis
increases ApoB degradation (major protein of VLDL/LDL)
pharmacokinetics niacin
oral admin, multiple formulations
Greatest HDL impact
Niacin
Ezetimibe lipoprotein pofile
TG decrease by 5%
LDL decrease by 15-20%
HDL increase by 1-2%
only mechanism of cholesterol excretion
conversion to bile salts via 7a Hydroxylase
Statin lipid profile
TG decrease by 20-55%
LDL decrease by 5-10%
HDL increase by 5-10%
adverse effecs cholestyramiune
constipation, bloating
interferes with other drug absorption
modest increase in TG (but normalizes)
gritty consistency
