Q

Glucocorticoids

A
  1. inhibit PLA2 and function of prostaglandins

2. inhibit cytokine production and prevent COX-2 induction

17
Q

Quinolones

A

reduce T cell activation and chemotaxis

18
Q

Gold Salts

A

anti-pruritic; repress immune responsiveness by inhibiting functional capacity of macrophages

19
Q

Sulfasalazine

A

inhibit release of IL-1, TNF-alpha

20
Q

Methotrexate

A
  1. inhibit AICAR transformylase and thymidylate synthetase, with effects on PMN chemotaxis
  2. cause increased adenosine to inhibit inflammataion
21
Q

Leflunomide

A

inhibit DHODH to inhibit T-lymphocyte response

22
Q

Pegloticase

A

convert UA to allantoin

23
Q

Probenecid

A

compete with urate at the anionic transport site of renal tubule, thus inhibiting urate reabsorption
