Q

what is the role of the different areas in the stomach?

A
  • Cardiac–the uppermost area of the stomach by the cardiac sphincter, contains cardiac glands
  • Pyloric–pyloric zone is lowermost part of the stomach, contains the pyloric glands
  • Gastric–fundus is the larger part of the body of the stomach, contains gastric glands–gastric glands play the most significant role in acid-related disorders–cells of gastric gland are the largest in number and of primary importance in acid control

Q

how is HCL regulated in the stomach?

A

The proton pump H+/K+ATPase
•Pumps protons out of the parietal cell and potassium ions back in
Potassium ions exit the parietal cell as counterionsfor the chloride ions and are then pumped back in

17
Q

what are Antacids MOA?

A
  • Antacids DO NOT prevent the over-production of acid
  • Antacids DO neutralize the acid once it’s in the stomach
  • Quick onset of relief but last for a short duration
  • Simple acid-base reaction
  • Promote gastric mucosal defense mechanisms
  • Reduction of pain associated with acid-related disorders
18
Q

what effect does raising the ph from 1.3-1.6 have?

A

neutralizes 50% of the gastric acid

19
Q

what effect does rasising the ph to 1.3 to 2.3 have?

A

neutralizes 90% of the gastric acid

20
Q

what is an alginate?

A
  • Polysaccharides derived from seaweeds–Usually used as sodium salt
  • Alginates gel in solution due to cross-linking
  • Especially good in the presence of calcium ions
21
Q

how do alginates work?

A
  • Produces a ‘raft’
  • Bicarbonate produces CO2gas and floats raft
  • Prevents reflux
22
Q

what do h2 antagonists do?

A

reduce acid secretion
•Block histamine (H2) at the receptors of acid-producing parietal cells–production of hydrogen ions is reduced, resulting in decreased secretion from the parietal cells

23
Q

what happens when histamine is blocked?

A

Up to 90% inhibition of vagal and gastrin stimulatedn acid secretion occurs when histamine is blocked
results in increase in ph in the stomach

24
Q

what is a PPI moa?

A

–irreversibly bind to H+/K+ATPase
enzyme–result: achlorhydria
•gastric acid secretion is blocked

25
Q

what are the subunits of a PPI?

A
- a subunit (110 kDa)
three lobes in the cytoplasmic domain
N (ATP binding)
P (phosphorylation)
A (activation) domainsten
 transmembrane segments in the membrane domain gastric 

b-subunit
short cytoplasmic region (~36 residues)
one transmembrane segment (core MW 35 kDa)
heavily glycosylated extracellular region (~230 residues)involved in correct membrane integration and targeting of the complex to the cell surface

26
Q

how have PPIs developed over time?

A
  • Pyridylthioacetamide–potential antiviral reduced gastric acid secretion, liver toxicity due to thionamide•H77/67 then H 124/26 subsequently developed–timoprazole identified as active, resulting from metabolism–sulfoxide identified as important element in drug action–inhibits iodine uptake in thyroid gland
  • Picoprazole developed -free of antithyroid effect exhibited by timoprazole
27
Q

how do you get more potent analogies of proton pump inhibitors?

A

•More potent analogues developed by modulating pyridine basicity

28
Q

ppis are prodrugs, what do they get activated by?

A

•Activated by strongly acidic conditions found in the canaliculae of parietal cells

29
Q

which of the omeprazoles had the best chirality?

A

S
•S-isomer : 90% gastric acid production inhibition
•R-isomer : 25% gastric acid production inhibition
-–maintains intragastric pH > 4 for longer–reduced clearance
–increased systemic bioavailability
–interpatient variation is less

30
Q

what do PPPIs require to transform to an achiral intermediate?

A

acid-mediated transformation

31
Q

what was seen in the plasma conc when 40mg of esomeprazole was taken and 20mg of esomeprazole was taken?

A

40 mg of esomeprazole taken orally showed much higher and more prolonged plasma concentration curves than 20 mg esomeprazole.

32
Q

when do you give PPIs?

A
  • GERD maintenance therapy
  • Erosive esophagitis
  • Short-term treatment of active duodenal and benign gastric ulcers
  • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
  • Treatment of H. pylori–induced ulcers
33
Q

is PPIs short or long term treatment?

A

short term

34
Q

what medications should you be cautious of with PPIs?

A

May increase serum levels of diazepam, phenytoin, and cause increased chance for bleeding with warfarin

35
Q

when is h. pylori prominent in the stomach?

A

High rate of reappearance of stomach ulcers after PPI treatment with naturally present H. pylori implicated

36
Q

how do h.pylori survive in the stomach?

A

–survives well at pH close to stomach wall–survives well in oxygen concentrations of ca. 5% –secretes urease which hydrolyses urea, neutralising acid in local environment
–secrete proteins and toxins that interact with stomach epithelial cells leading to inflammation and damage

37
Q

what effect do antibiotics have on h.pylori?

A

–resistance -> eradication can be difficult (resting cocoidforms)•difficulty in delivering antibiotics at therapeutic concentrations
–bismuth subcitrate and potassium dicitratobismuthate prevent adherence to mucosa
•enhance local prostaglandin synthesis, coat ulcer base, enhance adsorption of pepsin

38
Q

what is the pka of a PPI like?

A

PPIs are lipophilic, weak bases
pka 4,0.8
inactive at neutral ph

39
Q

when are PPIs most active?

A

Rapidly activated close to the target -once activated, react rapidly with the target H+/K+-ATPase enzyme

40
Q

what is the metabolism of a PPI like?

A
  • Oxidative metabolism overall shows a 3-fold preference for R-isomer; stereoselective(S:R)
  • Phenotype selectivity / variation due to genetic polymorphism
  • 18-22% of asian population (poor metabolisers) unable to express functional form of CYP2C19
41
Q

what is the MOA ppi?

A

–from systemic circulation, crosses membrane of parietal cells –ionised in strongly acidic environment of secretory canaliculusof parietal cells–unable to move back across the membrane resulting in accumulation in canaliculus–protonation triggers an acid-catalysed conversion leading to covalent binding to a cysteine residue in the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme and enzyme inhibition–inhibition is irreversible and duration depends on regeneration of new pumps by parietal cells
