Test 3: Wk13: 1 Airway Pharmacology - Salisbury Flashcards
treatment of choice for asthma
B2 adrenergic agonists
B2 adrenergic agonists are used for
rescue bronchodilators in asthma
3 Selective B2 Agonists
albuterol
pirbuterol
terbutaline
Long acting B2 agonists function
bronchodilation and bronchoprotection for more than 12 hrs
dose 2x daily
3 once daily B2 agonists
indacaterol
vilanterol
olodaterol
B2 agonists direct bronchodilator MOA
B2 expressed on bronchial SMCs
Gs adenylyl cyclase CAMP
bronchial SM relaxation
B2 Agonists Indirect bronchodilator MOA
Gs adenylyl cyclase cAMP PKA
mast cells decrease mediator release
decrease ACH release by cholinergic nerves
B2 Agonists anti-inflammatory effects
decrease mast cell mediator release and microvascular leakage
do B2 agonists help with chronic inflammation
no, corticosteroids still needed
SABAs stands for
Inhaled short acting B2 Agonists
Oral B2 agonists
increased side effects
resistant to COMT and MAO
useful in pts who cant use MDI
3 LABAs that have Bronchodilator action of more than 12 h and also protect
against bronchoconstriction for a similar period
salmeterol
formoterol
arformoterol
3 LABAs that have Duration of over 24 h (effective in COPD)
Indacaterol, vilanterol, and olodaterol
— can be combined with anticholinergics or ICSs
LABAs
can LABAs be used alone in asthma
no, they do not treat underlying chronic inflammation
in Asthma LABAs must be used with
ICSs
2 B2 Combination inhalers
fluticasone/salmeterol
budesonide/formoterol
Combination inhalers ensure — and allows for
Ensures they are delivered simultaneously to the same
cells in the airway this allows beneficial molecular
interactions between LABAs and ICS to occur.
ICS upregulate — receptors on bronchial SMCs
B2
Combination inhalers are used in
asthma and COPD
B2 agonists tolerance
occurs in non airway tissues
in asthmatic pts tolerance to the bronchodilator effects B2 agonists has not usually been found
5 Side effects of B2 agonists
Muscle tremor Tachycardia Hypokalemia Restlessness Metabolic effects
Theophylline therapeutic index
narrow
Theophylline MOA (4)
Nonselective phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor
Adenosine receptor antagonism
interleukin 10 release
inhibition of trscrptn factor NF-kB
Theophylline PDE inhibitor MOA
Nonselective phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor (↑ cAMP and cGMP→ smooth muscle cell relaxation, PDE3, PDE4 and PDE5
Theophylline affects multiple on eosinophils
decrease number
increase apoptosis
Theophylline affects multiple on T-lymphocyte
decrease cytokines
Theophylline affects on Mast Cells
decrease mediators
Theophylline affects multiple on macrophages
decrease cytokines
Theophylline affects on Airway SMCs
bronchodilation
Theophylline affects on endothelial cells
decrease leak
Theophylline affects on respiratory skeletal muscles
possibly increase strength
Theophylline therapeutic range
5-15 mg/L
Theophylline metabolized by
lover, CYP1A2
Increased Clearance of Theophylline
CYP1A2 induction
Decreased Clearance of Theophylline
CYP1A2 inhibition
Theophylline Asthma
Reserved for patients who fail to respond to, or are
intolerant of, ꞵagonists.
Add to low dose ICS (better response than doubling the dose of
ICS)
Theophylline COPD:
Still used as a bronchodilator
Theophylline side effects (6)
Nausea and vomiting Headaches Gastric discomfort Diuresis Cardiac arrythmias Epileptic seizures
Muscarinic Cholinergic Antagonists Inhibit —receptors on bronchial smooth muscle and lead to a reduction in the — pathway
M3
M3 Gq PLC IP3 Ca2+
Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists clinical effects
reduce bronchoconstriction
reduce traheobronchial mucus secretion
Cholinergic antagonists have — effect on mast cells or the chronic inflammatory response
little
Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists Asthma:
anticholinergic agents are less effective than ꞵ2 agonists
Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists COPD:
anticholinergic drugs are as effective or more effective than ꞵ2 agonists
Anticholinergic drugs have an additive effect when combined with —
ꞵ2 agonists
3 Therapeutic Choices for Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists
Ipratropium (MDI)
Tiotropium (DPI)
Glycopyrronium bromide (DPI)
Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists Combination Inhalers
anticholinergic and ꞵ2 agonists:
albuterol/ipratropium
Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists Adverse effects:
generally well tolerated
systemic effects uncommon
bitter taste w/ ipratropium
Nebulized ipratropium may precipitate glaucoma
— has revolutionized the treatment of chronic
asthma
ICSs
