Additional Pharmacology Flashcards

 


 

Cards

Term
Serotonin(5ht)
Definition

neurotransmitter that modulate mood, sleep rate cycle, motivation, pain perception

-starts as tryptophan

 

5 choices:(auto) 5ht1D receptor

reuptaken into neuron broken down by MAO

post synpatic receptor

 

Term

 

Norepinephrine

Definition

 

 

 

building block: tyrosine

synthesized into dopamine

 

Term
5HT receptor
Definition
causes increased appetite improved sleep improved mood
Term
5ht1a
Definition
5ht receptor that specifically improves mood
Term
5ht2
Definition
5ht receptor with s/e of increased anxiety sexual dysfunction sleep disturbances
Term
adrenergic receptor
Definition

receptor for NE -increased interest energy concentration, mood

s/e: increased hr bp anxiety

Term
tricyclic antidepressants
Definition
non-selective, prevents inhibiting serotonin and norepi 
Term
Reserpine
Definition

MAE:inhibit packaging of norep/dopamine,serotonin, epi

A/E: induce depression 

Term
MAOI
Definition

CLINICAL APP: depression

 

MAE: non-selective inhibit degradation of 5ht/dopamine/NTs

 

A/E: tyramine toxicity (> with diet with red wine cheese etc) leading to HTN crisis

 

DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS: cyp450 drugs, tca, ssris, pseuo=doephedrine, dextromethorpan (cold meds)

 

METABOLIZE: hepatic Pharmakokinetics: lipophilic, well absorbed

 

*transdermal patch avoids first pass, safer

Term
 Irreversiblephenelzine, isocarboxazie
Definition
MAOI Non-selective
Term
tranylcypromine
Definition
MAOI Nonselective/ reversible
Term
meclobemide, befloxatone, brofaromine
Definition

MAOI-A selective/reversible RIMAs

 

selective for prevention of breakdown serotonin, norepi and epi 

Term
selegiline and rasagiline
Definition

 

MAOI-B

selective block of dopamine degradation -more useful in parkinsons 

Term
 nortriptyline/desipramine
Definition

Tricyclics Secondary Amines

 

MAE: more effects on NE than 5ht

 

Term

 

 

 amitriptyline, impramine, clomipramind

Definition

Tricyclic Teriary Amines

 

 

 

MAE: antagonize 5ht and NE reuptake (>5ht then NE) transporters which increases level at cleft

 

S/E: CARDIAC- 1st degree AV block (usually higher doses)

 

DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS: drugs that inhibit 2D6 (HIV drug- rotanavir)

 

CLINICAL APP: neuropathic pain (low dose), sleep (low dose), antidepressive (high dose)

 

On-TARGET RECEPTOR:CYP450, 2D6

 

Off-TARGET RECEPTOR:muscarinic cholinergic (n/v dry, blurry, confused), histamine (tired and fat), adrenergic (hypotensive tachycardia sleepy dizzy)

 

 

Term
SSRIs
Definition

Examples: Prozac, celexa, luvox, paxil, zoloft, lexapro 

CLINICAL APP: first line for Depression, anxiety due to higher selectivity and less A/E

 

MAE: selective for 5ht transporters increasing synaptic serotonin (lose selectivity at high doses)

 

A/E: sexual dysfunction, serotonin syndrome,  

 

PHARM-KINET: paxil and prozac substrate and inihibitors of CYP2d6

 

DRUG-DRUG : less than TCAs/ drugs that work on same CYP2d6 mechanism

 

METABOLIZED by:

 

Term
SNRIs
Definition

examples: Effexor, Cymbalta 

 

CLINICAL APP: Depression, neuropathic pain

MAE: blocks 5ht and NE reuptake transporter

A/E: increased BP, increased transaminases

DRUG-DRUG :

 

METABOLIZED by: CYP2D6

Term
Wellbutrin
Definition

CLASS: ATYPICAL

 

CLINICAL APP: antidepress, less sexual sideeffects

 

MAE: inhibits dopamine and NE reuptake

 

A/E: insomnia, alertness

 

DRUG-DRUG : effectiveness less when given with (faverins? HIV drugs)

 

METABOLIZED by: Hepatic CYP2B6

 

CONTRAINDICTATION: Sz or eating disorders

 

FORMULATIONS: IR(not used)/SR(bid dose) /XL( once daily) 

Term
Remeron
Definition

Class: atypical

CLINICAL APP: depression, high doses for less histamine effects and better serotonin effect

 

MAE:  mechanism unknown, less sexual dys

 

A/E: increased app, sedation 

ON TARGET RECEPTOR: 5ht2/3, alpha adrenergic

OFF TARGET-histamine

 

DRUG-DRUG : other  CYP3a4s

 

METABOLIZED by: CYP3A4

Term
Nefazodone (Serzone)
Definition

CLINICAL APP: antianxiety/depression

 

MAE: inhibits 5ht transporter

 

A/E: sedation ortho stasis, hepatoxoic, fulminant liver failure

 

On-TARGET RECEPTOR: 5ht antagonize

 

Off-TARGET RECEPTOR: antagonizes histamine and alpha 1

 

METABOLIZED by:CYP3A4

Term
Trazadone
Definition

CLINCAL APP:used for sleep (low) Depression (high)

 

AE: priapism

 

Metabolized by: CYP3a4

Term
BUSPAR
Definition

 

CLASS: Serotonin receptor agonists

 

CLINICAL APP: anxiety

 

MAE: agonizes 5ht1a receptor, non benzo, non addictive

 

A/E: dizziness nausea

 

On-TARGET RECEPTOR:5ht1a

 

 

Term
AMPTHETAMINE, METHAMPHETAMINE, METHYLPHENIDATE
Definition

Clinical app: ADD

 

MOA: may interfere with storage of MAO

may displace 5ht DA NE and revent reuptake

 

AE: induction of psychosis alertness

Term
Lithium
Definition

CLINICAL APP: controls mania and depression

 

MAE: not known (may interfere with cAMP IP3)

 

A/E: nausea, thirst, polyuria, tremor, weak,
