Pharmacology Synopses 3 Flashcards
can’t make hemoglobin chain, anemia, kidney makes excess EPO
iron overload
causes hematopoiesis in liver, skull and spleen, requires chelating
excess EPO
effective at binding Fe, but short half-life, requires pump
deferoxamine
genetic disease that increases Cu, causing abd pain, vomiting, convulsions, diarrhea
Wilson’s, treat with penicillamine
Mad hatter (paranoia, renal tox), Methyl, Minimata disease
inorganic mercury
what causes rebound after lead chelating?
lead stored in bone
most toxic arsenic metabolite
methylarsonous
universal methylator, needs folate to function
SAM
less toxic arsenic, renallly excreted
DMA
more folate means more methylation, means
more renal elimination, less blood arsenic
arsonous is ____, arsonic is ____
poisonous, picnic
causes skin lesions, blackfoot
arsenic toxicity
can lead penetrate blood-brain barrier?
yes
bioavailability of ingested lead
10.00%
increases Pb bioavailability by upregulating nonselective divalent metal transporter DMT
iron deficiency
toxic effects: encephalopathy, seizures, learning disabilities, chronic kidney disease
lead
organic source of Hg
Top-level predatory fish
Can Hg levels in mother effect fetus?
yes
asymptomatic mothers, physically deformed/mentally handicapped children, extremity sensory disturbance, hearing impairment, vision
methyl mercury (fetal transmission)
methyl mercury stays in
hair
found in drinking water, non-toxic version in fish
arsenic
heavy metal that causes cancers, stroke, neuropathy, MI
arsenic
lessened by selenium and folate in diet
arsenic toxicity
20 year epigenetics due to fetal transmission
arsenic toxicity
two null alleles, no enzyme for metabolizing omeprazole, a pump inhibitor. Less drug required to treat ulcers
CYP2C1923
CYP2C1923 occurs in 13-20% of
Asians
more than 2 alleles, increased metabolic activity requires higher doses of some drugs
CYP2D6*2xN
