Cards

Term
synthesis of histamines
Definition
decarboxylation of AA L-histadine via pyridoxal phosphate dependent enzyme and L-histadine decarboxylase
Term
degradation of histamines
Definition
rapidly converted to inactive metabolite
Periphery: oxidative deamination: catalized by diamine oxidase making imidazole acetic acid
CNS and periphery: methylation of tele-nitrogen in imidazole ring catalized by histamine-N-methyltransferase making t-N-methylhistamine
Term
3 sites of histamine storage
Definition
found in almost all tissies: low in plasma and body fluids
mast cells: major site of storage and release, activated by IgE
basophils: similar to mase cells, high IgE binding affinity, store and secrete histamine
Term
mast cells: locations 3, how is histamine stored
Definition
high in skin, mucosa of bronchial tree and intestinal mucosa

histamine stored as granules with proteoglycan and chondroitin sulfate E
Term
basophils: location of high concentration, how does is histamine stored
Definition
high in neurons of CNS

histamine stored in granules with proteogltcan chondroitin monosulfate
Term
3 causes of histamine release
Definition
allergic disorders, drugs, endogenous peptides (bradykinin, substance P)
Term
explain the 2 processes of histamine release
Definition
cytolytic: plasma membrane is damaged and contents leak out

non-cytolytic: ligand binds receptor on mast cell, ATP dependent change in Ca causes leaking of cytoplasm and exocytosis of granules
Term
what are the MOA of the 3 types of histamine receptors
Definition
H1, H2, H3: G protein coupled receptors

H1: Gi receptor coupled to phospholipase C forms IP3 which releases Ca from ER and DAG which activates Ca via calmodulin dependent protein kinase and phospholipase A2 in target cell
Term
functions of the H1 and H2 receptors 3
Definition
1. histamine stimulates pain and hitch in nerve endings

2. histamine shock: large dose decreases BP and small vessels trap blood decreasing BV and CO

3. endothelium: increases Ca > phospholipase A2 > NO > diffusion to smooth muscle > guanylyl cyclase >>

> H1 receptor cGMP activates protein kinase and causes fast capillary dilation, increased permeability, lymph flow, and edema

> H2 receptor cAMP activates protein kinase and causes slow sustained capillary dilation
Term
functions of only the H1 receptr
Definition
bronchoconstriction
Term
Tx of autocoid bronchoconstriction
Definition
epinepherine
Term
MOA and distribution of 1st gen antihistamine
Definition
competitive reversible H1 inhibitor
crosses BBB
anticholinergic
Term
interactions of 1st gen antihistamine 3
Definition
EtOH, CNS depressants, MAOI
Term
effects of only 1st gen antihistamine 8
Definition
CNS: restless, nervous, insomnia
OD: excitation, convulsion, coma, respiratory collapse
anticholinergic: increased SANS, inhibit M receptor / ACh, atropine like
Term
MOA and distribution of 2nd gen antihistamine
Definition
competitive reversible H1 inhibitor
does not cross BBB
no anticholinergic effects
Term
effects of both 1st and 2nd gen antihistamine 7
Definition
inhibit histamine on smooth muscle, vasoconstriction, permeability, edema, wheals, flare,itch
Term
what do antihistamines never effect 2
Definition
anaphylactic bronchoconstriction
H2 vasodilation
Term
what is the story for the 8 1st gen antihisamines
Definition
dying phrends and dying men hydrated cyclically like pros with purel with chlori and my bro's phrend ramine who used pro meth from a magazine
Term
what are the 8 1st gen antihistamines
Definition
diphenhydramine
dimenhydrinate
hydroxyzine
cyproheptadine
purilamine
chlorpheniramine/brompheniramine
promethazine
meclizine
Term
diphrenhydramine: use 3, SE 2
Definition
allergies, OTC sleep med, extrapyrmidal SE

SE: sedation, lots of anti-M
Term
dimenhydrinate: use 1, SE 1
Definition
motion sickness
SE: anti-M
Term
hydroxyzine HCl: use 2, SE 1
Definition
long acting, skin allergies
SE: CNS depression, lots
Term
cyproheptadine: use 2, SE 3
Definition
drowsy, increased weight
mild anticholinergic
Term
purilamine: 2 SE
Definition
sedation, GI SE
Term
chlorpheniramine/brompheniramine: use 1, SE 1
Definition
allergy
SE: CNS stimulation (daytime med)
Term
promethazine: use 1, SE 2
Definition
nausea and vomiting
SE: anticholinergic, sleep
Term
meclizing: use 1
Definition
motion sickness, less effective
Term
what is the story for 2nd gen antihistamines
Definition
des and lora dined on citrsy flex or grenadine
Term
what are the 4 2nd gen antihistamines
Definition
desloratadine
loratadine
cetrizine
fexofenadine
Term
SE of the 2 2nd gen antihistamines (1 each)
Definition
desloratadine: renal/hepatic damage (less)
loratadine: renal/hepatic damage
cetrizine: renal/hepatic damage
fexofenadine: renal damage (use 1/3 dose)
