strictly MOAs Flashcards
Sulfonamides, diaminopyrimidies (antimicrobials) MOA
inhibit folic acid synthesis (PABA metabolites)
Beta Lactam (Penicillins, cephalosporins, beta-lactamase inhibitors, carbapenems, monobactams) MOA
cell wall inhibitors (-cidial)
Aminoglycosides MOA
inhibit 30S ribosomal subunit protein
Tetracyclines MOA
inhibit 30S ribosomal subunit protein
Chloramphenicols MOA
inhibit 50S ribosomoal subunit protein *inhibits peptidyl transferase enzymes
Macrolides MOA
inhibit 50S ribosomoal subunit protein *inhibits translocation process
Lincomycin MOA
inhibit 50S ribosomoal subunit protein *inhibits translocation process
Fluroquinolones MOA
inhibit DNA synthesis
Metronidazole MOA
inhibit DNA synthesis
Rifampin MOA
inhibit RNA synthesis (RNA polymerase enzyme)
Methenamine
urinary antiseptic, requires acidic pH *NOT w sulfa drugs (increase crystalluria)
Polymyxin MOA
cell membrane – narrow spec
Cardiac glycosides (digitalis, digoxin) MOA
Na/K/ATP pump inhibitors
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors MOA (Inamrinone, Milrinone, Pimobendan; Aminophylline)
Inodilators – produce positive inotropic action, peripheral vasodilation
Beta 1 selective adrenergic agonist (Dobutamine) MOA
agonist of beta 1 receptors in heart, ↑ contraction of myocardium
Sodium nitroprusside MOA
release NO, increase NO mediated vasodilation
Hydralazine and Minoxidil MOA
influences K ion influx → arterial vasodilation
Prazosin MOA
alpha 1 antagonist (inhibits vasoconstriction)
Nitroglycerin MOA
release NO, increase NO mediated vasodilation
Isoxsuprine MOA
beta 2 antagonist
Ca channel blockers – amlodipine
Inhibits Ca channels – causes decrease in smooth muscle tone
Phosphodiesterase V inhibitors - sildenafil (pulmonary hypertension)
Inhibit phosphodiesterase V
Furosemide
loop diuretic = redistribution of blood, primary effect IV is increase circulation
ACE INHIBITORS [Captopril; Prodrugs (Enalapril, Benazepril)]
?
Class I Anti-arrhythmics– membrane stabilizers, local anx agents (Phenytoin, Quinidine, Lidocaine, Procainamide) MOA
reduce Na influx (phase 0 depolarization)
Class II Anti-Arrhythmics – beta antag (Propranolol, Atenolol, Esmolol, Metoprolol) MOA
block Beta 1 receptors on heart
Class III Anti-Arrhythmics– prolong AP duration (Bretylium, Amiodarone) MOA
significant prolongation of refractory period
Class IV Anti-Arrhythmics– calcium channel blockers (Verapamil, Diltiazem) MOA
– block Ca channels, ↓ impulse conduction (SA, AV), ↓ inotropic action → antiarrhtymic actions
Clenbuterol
(β2 agonist) = relax bladder
Phenoxybenzamine
(α agonist) = contraction of urethra (for tx of dyssenergy)
Prazosine
(α1 antagonist) = relax hypertonic urethra
Diazepam
GABA agonist (central)
