Q

What is the MOA of organic nitrates?

A

RNO2 enters smooth muscle –> becomes s-nitroso-thiol –> becomes NO –> increases cGMP –> smooth muscle relaxation

16
Q

What is the mechanism for Diazoxide in lowering blood pressure?

A

Opens K+ channels which causes net efflux of K+ and closes Ca+ channels preventing influx of Ca+ ultimately resulting in decreased vascular tone.

17
Q

What is the mechanism for Phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE3/PDE5 inhibitors)? (2 locations)

A

In cardiac muscle, PDE3 inhibitors prevents the degradation of cAMP to AMP increasing its relative concentration and increasing cardiac muscle contraction.
In vascular smooth muscle, PDE5 inhibitors prevents the degradation of cGMP to GMP resulting in a relative increase in cGMP concentration resulting in relaxation of smooth muscle.

18
Q

What are three examples of Phosphodiesterase (PDE3) inhibitors?

A

Milrinone
Inamrinone
Cilostazol

19
Q

What is the primary therapeutic use for PDE3 inhibitors?

A

Heart Failure

20
Q

What are two examples of PDE5 inhibitors?

A

Sildenafil

Tadalafil

21
Q

What is the primary therapeutic use for PDE5 inhibitors?

A

Erectile dysfunction

22
Q

What is a miscellaneous Vasodilator the uses the B2 receptor? Does it affect arterial or venous smooth muscle?

A

Bradykinin

It affects both arterial and venous circulation

23
Q

What is a miscellaneous vasodilator that utilizes the D1 receptor?
Does it affect arterial or venous circulation?

A

Fenoldopam

It affects arteries and veins

24
Q

What is Fenoldopam’s primary effect?

A

Increased renal blood flow & Na excretion

25
Q

What is a miscellaneous vasodilator that blocks alpha-adrenergic receptors?

A

Prazosin

26
Q

What is the prototype TOcolytic drug for this course?

What type of action does it have?

A

aTOsiban

Nonapeptide oxytocin antagonism

27
Q

What is the therapeutic use for Atosiban?

A

Prevention of preterm labor and inhibition of uterine contractions

28
Q

What are some examples of B2 agonist bronchodilators? (5 options)

A 
Albuterol
Pirbuterol
Terbutaline
Salmeterol
Formoterol
29
Q

What is the MOA for B2 adrenergic agonists?

A

Agonism of B2 increases concentrations of cAMP and PKA which promote bronchial smooth muscle relaxation.

30
Q

What cardiac effect can elevated/toxic doses create?

A

Tachycardia

31
Q

What are two examples of anti-cholinergic respiratory medications?

A

Ipratropium

Tiotropium

32
Q

How does Methylxanthine work and to what effect?

A

Adenosine Receptor Antagonism

Bronchodilation
