Q

PPI Mechanism

A

Prodrugs, unstable in acid, converted to reactive tetracyclic sulfenamides

Sulfenamides then interact with sulfhydryl (thiol) groups on cysteine residues of gastric H+/ K+ ATPase to form a covalent disulfide bond.

Covalent modification of the H+/K ATPase inhibits the activity of the proton pump and thereby prevents acid secretion.

Inhibit growth of Helicobacter pylori

Q

PPI Enteric Coating Formulation (Capsule, Powder, Tablets)

Why provide an enteric coating?

A

capsules = omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, and dexlansoprazole

powder granules = lansoprazole

tablets = omeprazole, pantoprazole and rabeprazole

Oral ormulations of these drugs are enteric coated to prevent premature activation.

Q

PPI Drug Interactions
1) Decreased CYP2C19 leads to what?

A

Decreased CYP2C19, decreases the clearance of disulfiram, phenytoin, clopidogrel etc.

Q

In order for acid secretion to resume after taking a PPI, what must happen?

A

The parietal cell must synthesize new H+/K ATPase molecules, a process that requires approximately 18 hours.

Q

Main two risks of using PPIs?

A

Induction of Cancer
Risk of gastric carcinoid tumors with prolonged used of PPI, due to enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL) hyperplasia

Vitamin B12 deficiency
Use of omeprazole maybe associated with decreased absorption of vitamin B12 and subsequent symptoms of its deficiency.

Q

How can PPIs cause ZE?

A

Because gastric acid is a physiologic regulator
of gastrin secretion by G cells in the gastric antrum, the
decreased acid secretion caused by proton pump inhibitor therapy leads to increased gastrin release. The trophic effects of gastrin can induce hyperplasia of ECL cells and parietal cells in the gastric mucosa.

Patients
with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome usually develop ECL and
parietal cell hyperplasia.

Q

Clinical Uses of Omeprazole

A

Short-term (4-8weeks) treatment/maintenance of esophagitis

GERD, gastric and duodenal ulcers, pathologic acid hyper-secretory conditions, adjunct therapy for H. pylori associated duodenal ulcers

OTC relief of heartburn

20
Q

ADEs of Omeprazole

A

Well tolerated, but abdominal pain, constipation, flatulence and nausea may occur in some patients.

21
Q

What PPI is safest to use in pregnancy?

A

Pantoprazole - category B. The others are category C.

22
Q

What PPIs can be used to treat GERD in children?

A

Pantoprazole and Lansoprazole (also pregnancy category B)

23
Q

Pantoprazole ADEs

A

Nausea, vomiting, xerostomia, abnormal liver function test, hepatitis may occur.

24
Q

A

-tidine

25
Q

Does antihistamines have good or bad oral bioavailability?

A

Good oral bioavailability (with/without food).

26
Q

Where are H2 blockers excreted? What is one indication for the adjustment of H2 block dose?

A

Minimal hepatic metabolism, excreted in urine

Must adjust dose in patient with renal insufficiency.

27
Q

H2 Blockers suppress what?

A

Suppress basal acid release only, effective in nocturnal acid suppression, evening doses enough.

28
Q

H2 Blockers’ absorption is decreased by what?

A

29
Q

Indications for H2 blockers

30
Q

Which H2 blocker should not be used in pregnancy?

A

Cimetidine

31
Q

ADEs of H2 blockers

A

nausea, diarrhea, headaches, drowsiness and fatigue may occur

32
Q

How does tolerance to H2 blockers develop?

A

Due to hypergastrinemia –> hyperplasia of ECL-cells –> increased tolerance.

33
Q

What H2 blocker has a high propensity for drug interactions?

What are some ADEs of H2 blockers?

A

Cimetidine = high propensity for drug interactions

Cimetidine can cause galactorrhea (in women), gynecomastia, reduced sperm counts and impotence (in men)

All H2 blockers cross the placenta, secreted in breast milk, require caution in pregnant patients.

34

A

Misoprostol

35
Q

Prostaglandin (PGE1) Analogue MOA

A

Synthetic analogue of PGE1, inhibits parietal cells via EP3 receptors

Enhance bicarbonate secretion, mucus production and blood flow within the gastric mucosa.

36
Q

PGE1 analogues have higher _____, ______ plasma t½ and _____ oral bioavailability compared to PGE1.

A

PGE1 analogues have higher potency, longer plasma t½ and increase oral bioavailability compared to PGE1.

37
Q

Side Effects of PGE1 analogues. When are their use contraindicated?

A

Diarrhea, may exacerbate inflammatory bowel disease,

Misoprostol (highly abortifacient) is contraindicated in pregnancy.

38
Q

Antacids MOA

A

Neutralize stomach acid to form water and salts.

39
Q

A

Complex salt of sucrose, sulfate and aluminum hydroxide, minimal ability to alter pH.

Forms a viscous gel at low pH which binds to positively charged proteins, adheres to gastric epithelium.

Protect the gastric luminal surface from degradation by acid and pepsin.

42
Q

Side effects of Sucrafate

A

May cause constipation, bind to drugs e.g. quinolones, phenytoin, and warfarin and limit their absorption.

43
Q

Colloidal Bismuth MOA

A

Combine with glycoproteins, and mucus to form a barrier that protects ulcers from acid and pepsin.

Stimulates secretion of bicarbonate and prostaglandin.

Inhibits growth of H. pylori and helps to eradicate the infection.

44

A

Dicyclomine (also known as dicycloverine), a muscarinic receptor antagonists used to decrease parietal acid secretion.

45
