pulm moa Flashcards
Goal of therapy asthma and bronchitis
dec airways resistance by increasing diameter of bronchi and decrease mucous secretion
Early phase response asthma
inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes, histamine, and prostaglandin D2s are released
late phase response asthma
fibrin and collagen are deposited in tissue
Mast cells- release
histamine and leukotrienes
Eosinophils-
release enzymes when foreign cells are encountered
Leukotrienes- cause
bronchoconstriction
IL4 and IL5 are
cytokines that signal molecules between cells
line of trmt for asthma

- laba
Albuterol moa
B2 agonist in airway smooth muscle causing muscle relaxation and bronchodilation
levalbuterol moa
B2 agonist in airway smooth muscle causing muscle relaxation and bronchodilation
saba cautionary
paradoxical bronchospasm, hx CV disorders
Primatene Mist moa
Same as EPI- activates B1, B2, and A1 causing bronchodilation, inc HR, and vasoconstriction
Ipratropium
Ipratorpium + albuterol
moa
Competitive antagonists for ACh at muscarinic receptors- inhibit ACh from constricting the bronchial airways
Ipratropium
Ipratorpium + albuterol se
dec sludge
Contraindications
Ipratropium
Ipratorpium + albuterol
soy and peanuts
Cautionary
Ipratropium
Ipratorpium + albuterol
paradoxical bronchospasm, hx of CV disorders, worsening of urinary retention
Short term asthma: Systemic corticosteroids moa
Inhibits release of antiinflammatory mediators- reduces synthesis of Phospholipase A2 so arachidonic acid can’t be made which causes lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase to not be able to be made. This all causes leukotrienes and PG to be reduced. This means that inflammation is reduced and bronchodilation occurs over time
Short term asthma: Systemic corticosteroids se
glucose metabolism and fluid retention
diff btwn systemic and inhaled corticosteroids
theyre not systemic… they bypass 1st pass effect
se inhaled corticosteroids
candida albicans thrush
Contraindication inhaled corticosteroids
acute asthma attack
Caution inhaled corticosteroids
NOT a bronchodilator… not used for instant relief
inhaled corticosteroids moa
Inhibits release of antiinflammatory mediators- reduces synthesis of Phospholipase A2 so arachidonic acid can’t be made which causes lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase to not be able to be made. This all causes leukotrienes and PG to be reduced. This means that inflammation is reduced and bronchodilation occurs over time
Salmeterol
MOA: B2 agonist in airway smooth muscle causing muscle relaxation and bronchodilation
Same as SABA, but longer duration (12 hrs vs 4-6)
Formoterol
MOA: B2 agonist in airway smooth muscle causing muscle relaxation and bronchodilation
Same as SABA, but longer duration (12 hrs vs 4-6)
Contraindication long term asthma LABA
asthma trmt with LABA alone
NEVER use____ alone in asthma… it’s a BBW… increased risk of asthma related death
LABA
Contraindications Long term asthma meds: Inhaled corticosteroids + LABA
acute asthma attacks
Fluticasone/salmeterol moa
MOA: dec inflammation and bronchodilation
Postmarketing SE for Mometasone/formoterol and Budesonide/formoterol:
angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmias, and QT prolongation
Long term asthma meds: Inhaled corticosteroids + LABA
cautions
candida albicans infection, not bronchodilator
Fluticasone/vilanterol
moa
MOA: dec inflammation and bronchodilation
BBW: removed in 2017
Long term asthma meds: Inhaled corticosteroids + LABA
Mometasone/formoterol moa
MOA: dec inflammation and bronchodilation
Montelukast moa
antagonizes leukotriene receptors which prevent airway edema, smooth muscle contractions, and help secretions of thick mucus
Budesonide/formoterol
moa
MOA: dec inflammation and bronchodilation
Zafirlukast moa
antagonizes leukotriene receptors which prevent airway edema, smooth muscle contractions, and help secretions of thick mucus
Contraindications Montelukast and Zafirlukast
not used to acute asthma attacks
Theophylline moa
causes bronchodilation either by…
Adenosine receptor antagonist OR inhibiting phosphodiesterase (PDE 3 and PED4)
Zileuton moa
inhibits lipoxygenase which converts arachidonic acid to leukotrienes thus inhibiting leukotriene formation
Aminophylline moa
causes bronchodilation either by…
Adenosine receptor antagonist OR inhibiting phosphodiesterase (PDE 3 and PED4)
Zileuton se
elevates liver enzymes
Structurally similar to caffeine
Theophylline and aminophylline
se Theophylline and aminophylline
CNS side effects such as HA, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, seizures, tachycardia, difficulty urinating in males (bc its like caffeine)
Long term asthma meds: Methylxanthines
contra
not for acute asthma attacks
