Vasoactive Peptides Chp 17 Flashcards
example of angiotensin receptor antagonist
Valsartan, Eprosartan, Irbesartan
Valsartan Mechanism of Action
Selective Competitive antagonist of angiotensin AT1 receptors
Effects of Valsartan
Anteriolar dilation, decreased aldosterone secretion, increase NA+ and water excretion
Uses of Valsartan
HTN
Example of Angiotensin Receptor Agonists
Angiotensin ll & Compound 21
Mechanism of action for Angiotensin ll
AT1 (and AT2) receptor agonist
Effects of Angiotensin ll
Increases BP
Uses for Angiotensin ll
Vasodilatory Shock
What are some Converting enzyme Inhibitors
Enalapril & Captopril
Mechanism of action of Enalapril
Inhibits conversion of Angiotensin l to Angiotensin ll
Effects oof Enalapril
Arteriolar dilation, decreased aldosterone secretion, increased Na+ and water excretion
Renin Inhibitor
Aliskiren
Mechanism of action of Aliskiren
Inhibits catalytic activity of Renin
Effects of Aliskiren/Renin Inhibitor
Arteriolar dilation, decresed aldosterone secretion, increased Na+ and water excretion
Uses of Renin Inhibitors
HTN
Kinin Inhibitors
Icatibant, Ecallantide (plasma), Cinryze (decreased bradykinin formation-hereditary angioedema)
Mechanism of action of Kinin Inhibitors
Selective antagonists of kinin Beta2 receptors
Effects of Kinin Inhibitors
Blocks effect of kinins on pain, hyperalgesia, and inflammation
Examples of Vasopressin agonists
Arginine vasopressin, Selepressin & Terlipressin (more selective for V1A receptor
Mechanism of action for Vasopressin Agonist/ Arginine vasopressin
Agonist of vasopressin V1 (and V2) receptors
Effects of Vasopressin Agonist
Vasoconstriction
