PUD and GERD Med Chem (Dr. J) Flashcards
What are stimulatory signals for HCl secretion?
Histamine
Ach
Gastrin
When histamine binds to the H2 receptor, what kind of GPCR is stimulating the proton pump?
Gs (adenylyl cyclase, cyclic AMP, PKA)
When Ach binds to the M3 receptor, what kind of GPCR is stimulating the proton pump?
Gq (PLC, IP3, Ca2+)
When gastrin binds to the CCK2 receptor, what kind of GPCR is stimulating the proton pump?
Gq (PLC, IP3, Ca2+)
What is the core structure of PPIs?
pyridine and benzimidazole moiety liked by methylsulfinyl group
Which PPIs are racemic mixtures?
Lansoprazole
Omeprazole
Pantoprazole
Rabeprazole
PPIs are prodrugs activated by _______ ___________
acidic environment
What happens when PPIs are in an acidic environment before reaching the site of action?
can bind to other proteins—> inactivated drug
What is the target reaction when PPI reaches the site of action?
sulphenamide interacts covalently with the sulphydryl groups of cysteine residues in extracellular domain of the proton pump
How long does it take for new proton pump molecules to be synthesized after taking PPI?
24-48 hours
PPIs need enteric coating to reach site of action, what dosage forms can PPIs come in?
- capsules
- powder for suspension
- tablets
- IV
- enteric coated granules
How do we prevent degradation of PPIs by acid outside of the desired site of action?
eteric coating
How are PPIs metabolized?
CYP2C19 and CYP 3A4 (1st pass metabolism)
How many days does it take to achieve a 70 % inhibition of proton pumps?
2-5 days
What type of environment do DR and enteric coated tablets dissolve in?
alkaline pH
What is a bioisotere?
mimic natural ligand but inhibit its natural action
