drugs in IPF
Albuterol, terbutaline, Salmeterol mechanism
bronchodilator
Chromolyn sodium mechanism
prevents the release of histamine, etc, from mast cells
Omalizumab mechanism
IgE binding in circulation
Zafirlukast, Montelukast mechanism
leukotreine D4 (LTD4) receptor antangonist
Zileuton mechanism
inhibits 5-lipoxygenase
Prednisone, Beclomethasone, Busesonide, Fluticasone mechanism
upregulate expression of anti-inflammatory genes & genes that increase gluconeogenesis, downregulates proinflammatory genes
Ipratropium, Tiotropium mechanism
blocks muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in lung smooth muscle, allowing bronchi to stay open
Nicotine patch, lozenge, gum, inhaler, spray mechanism
delivers nicotine so pt. does not have to smoke
Varenicline mechanism
oral partial agonist of alpha4beta2 subunit of nicotinic ACh receptor, stimulates receptor (decreases withdrawal), and blocks nicotine from binding (reduces reward)
Buproprion mechanism
non-competitive nicotinic antagonist, increased dopamine transmission in brain
Diltiazem, Verapamil mechanism
block L-type calcium channel receptors in smooth muscle, resulting in vasodilation
Epoprostenol mechanism
mimics prostacylin in the prostacyclin pathway, stimulares adenylate cyclase, causing increased cAMP and vasodilation, antiproliferation, and antiplatelet aggregation
Bosentan mechanism
blocks endothelin A & B receptors on smooth muscles, cardiac myocytes, and endothelial cells (B only), preventing sustained vasoconstriction and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells
Sildenafil mechanism
Inhibits PDE-5, thus inhibiting deactivation of cGMP in NO pathway, causes vasodilation and antiproliferation
