Tuesday 3 - memorize these sheets ILT Flashcards
what leaks large molecules
post capillary venules
what cause Redness - Vasodilation
Histamine
PGE2
PGI2
Kinins
what molecules cause Swelling - Increased vascular permeability
Histamine
Peptido leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, LTE4)
Kinins
what molecules cause Pain - Causes pain or reduces the pain threshold
PGE
PGI
LTB4
Kinins
What molecules are Chemotactic - Directed migration of white blood cells
LTB4 (neutrophils, etc)
Peptido leukotrienes (eosinophils)
what molecule induces fever
PGE
What molecules cause bronchoconstriction
Histamine Peptido leukotrienes*** Kinins PGD2 Thromboxane
what cause Hypotension
Kinins!!!!
Histamine
Histamine
Redness, heat, swelling and airway constriction – but not chemotaxis.
PGE2 and PGI2
vasodilate, increase vascular permeability and cause pain
PGD2 and thromboxane
bronchoconstriction
TXA2
causes platelet aggregation (and vasoconstriction)
PGI2
opposes platelet aggregation (and causes vasodilation)
LTB4
is chemotactic (PMNs) and reduces pain threshold
Kinins (Bradykinin and kallidin)
Everything
Also very strong vasodilator with resulting hypotension!!!!
Not a major chemotactic agent.
WHAT TYPE OF AGONISTS ARE ANTIHISTAMINES
inverse agonists - they lower levels of activity when bound to histamine receptors (historically called competative agonists)
H1 histamine receptor stimulation
Bronchoconstriction
Contraction of GI smooth muscle
Increased capillary permeability (wheal)
Pruritis (itch) and pain
Release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla
H2 receptor stimulation by histamine will cause
Gastric acid secretion****
Inhibition of IgE-mediated basophil histamine release
Histamine release by antigen feeds back to turn off its own release
Inhibition of T lymphocyte mediated cytotoxicity
Suppression of Th2 cells and cytokines
generally slower
H3 and H4 receptors
Present on histaminergic nerve terminals (H3) and many immune cells (H4; eosinophils, dendritic cells, T cells, neutrophils). Histamine can regulate activity of all of these cells through the H3 and H4 receptors.
Mixed H1 and H2 receptor mediated responses. Cardiac effects (H1 and H2)
- increased heart rate
- increased force of contraction
- increased arrhythmias
- Slows AV conduction (primarily H1)
“triple response of histamine”
- Vasodilation (H1 & H2)
- Flare - H1 (probably H2 also)
- Wheal - increased capillary permeability (edema) is primarily H1 but may also involve H2
- Pain and itching (primarily H1)
then why are there four bullet points and five different Sx…….?
Metabolism and excretion of first generation antihistamines
Transformed to inactive metabolites in the liver and excreted in the urine.
Side effects of first generation antihistamines
Sedation
Drying of secretions
GI disturbances
first gen anti hista Acute poisoning
Resembles atropine poisoning
Fixed - dilated pupils, Flushed face and fever with dry mouth
Dominant effect - excitation, hallucinations, incoordination, convulsions
Terminally - coma and cardiorespiratory collapse
ftwo first gen antihistamines and SE
Diphenhydramine (OTC) Low incidence of GI side effects Sedation If you want sedative actions as well, use diphenhydramine Chlorpheniramine (OTC) Most suitable for day time use
ANTICHOLINERGIC
ANTIMUSCARINIC
