Cards

Term
Salicylates
Definition
NSAID

covalent binding to SERINE residue of COX---> IRREVERSIBLE inhibition: COX-1---> prevents AA from binding; COX-2---> AA bound, but no PG formation

reduced NF-KB txn activity---> less txn of inflammatory mediators

Antipyresis (325-650 mg)
Anti-inflamm (2x ")
Antithrombotic (0.5x ")

TINNITUS; Reye's; Salycism (HYPERvent./alkalosis); Medullary Resp. Center Depression (HYPOvent./acidosis); Metabolic Acidosis (carb. metab. and renal dysfunction)
Term
How does Aspirin lower the risk of colon cancer?
Definition
prevents formation of PGE2---> so no txn of cell growth and proliferation mediators
Term
Propionic Acid Derivatives
Definition
NSAID

REVERSIBLE COX inhibition

small doses:
Antipyresis
Analgesia

large doses:
Ant-inflamm.

better tolerated than Aspirin; NOT for moms; RASH; TINNITUS
Term
Acetic Acid Derivatives
Definition
NSAIDs

REVERSIBLE COX inhibition; neutrophil migration inhibition

anti-inflamm.; ETODOLAC/KETOROLAC: perioperative pain; INDOMETHICIN: CNS effects

HEADACHE
Term
Selective COX-2 Inhibitors
Definition
NSAIDs

SELECTIVE COX-2 inhibitors

acute pain from OA, RA
NEVER during 3rd trimester

CV events: COX-2 block----> no PGI2---> no control of clotting
STEVENS-JOHNSON, TEN (epidermis split from dermis)
Term
Para-aminophenol Derivative
Definition
Acetominophen (Tylenol)---> "cock-block when mixed with alcohol"---> Weak COX inhibitor analgesic and antipyretic only; NOT inflamm. rash and allergies, HEPATIC NECROSIS, chronic use---> RENAL FAILURE; NEVER with alcohol
Term
List the three types of steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex
Definition
glucocorticoids; mineralocorticoids, adrenal androgens
Term
Describe the nature of steroid effects in terms of time until onset and duration.
Definition
effects are not immediate; effects last longer than plasma half-life
Term
Glucocorticoids
Definition
free steroids--> bind GR---> nuclear translocation----> induce GRE: Lipocortin txn---> Phospholipase A2 inhibition

RA; SLE; Tendinitis/Bursitis; ASTHMA; Eczema; Inflammatory disorders in general; reduces circulating inflamm. factors;

large dosage:
electrolyte imbalance; CNS; collagen synthesis inhibition

Withdrawal: acute adrenal insufficiency; disease flare-up
Term
LT Inhibitor
Definition
5-LOX inhibitor or CysLT-R antagonist

ASTHMA

inhibitor:
NEVER with alcohol; increased liver enzymes

R-antagonist:
CYP450 inhibition
Term
TNF competitor
Definition
IgG-infusion R for circulating TNF

reduces TNF available to activate NFKB and other inflammatory factors

CANCER, vasculitis, liver disease, FUNGAL infx; TB
Term
Which two IL's are anti-inflammatory cytokines?
Definition
IL-4 and IL-10
Term
Tocilimuzab
Definition
Ab IL-6 receptor antagonist

RA joint tenderness reduction
Term
Tocilimuzab
Definition
IL-6 R-Antagonist

reduces RA jt tenderness
Term
Leflunomide
Definition
inhibits diydro-orotate hydrogenase---> reduces PYRIMIDINE synthesis

"L=L": blocks LYMPHOCYTE replication; larger doses---> reduces other inflamm. factrs

liver tox (cause of long t1/2 through ENTEROHEPATIC CYCLING); weight loss; HTN
Term
Hydroxychloroquine
Definition
"sounds like hydrocholic acid"--> reduces intracellular pH---> decreased inflamm. cell function
Term
Azathioprine
Definition
metabolite: 6-mercaptopurine---> inhibits PURINE synthesis
Term
Omulizumab
Definition
"Omar had allergies"--> binds IgE---> inhibits allergic response
Term
Glatiramir Acetate
Definition
"Gladiator-strength to bind to MHCII itself"--> binds MHCII---> prevents MYELIN Ag presentation to T-cells

Tx: "Gladiator fights on"---> MS
Term
Coristatin
Definition
"cortisol from body"---> ENDOGENOUS neuropeptide---> binds immune cells
Term
Efalizumab
Definition
"11-year-old Evan scratched himself up by falling while carrying CDs"---> binds CD11a

Tx: Psoriasis
Term
Abatacept
Definition
binds costimulus ligands: CD80/86)---> "interCEPTs"--> CD28 of its costimulus---> no T-cell activation ("Aba sounds like Ana"---> ANERGY instead)---> NO B-cell-induced autoimmune Ig production!

inhibits RADIOGRAPHIC progression of RA

headache, NASOPHARYNGITIS, naeusea
Term
Colchicine
Definition

"chicin"---> Gout

blks: LEUKOCYTE migration/activation; mitotic spindle formation 1st line for ACUTE gout; NEVER with hepatic, renal, CV disease; NEVER during pregnancy GI and diarrhea

Term
Allopurinol and Febuxostat
Definition

Gout "all pure so no more xenobiotic meats"---> blks: XANTHINE OXIDASE---> no uric acid synthesis;

"all pure so can get along w/ anyone"--->  CAN use during SALICYLATE therapy RASH

Term
Uricosuric Agents (Sulfinpyrazone; Probenicid)
Definition
Gout

blks: "pyrate hijacks ship (transporter)"---> URAT1 reabsorption transporter---> no reabsorption at kidneys

INEFFECTIVE with salicylate therapy; NEVER with kidney stones

PLATELET inhibition; NEVER if allergic to PHENYLBUTAZONE (SULFINPYRAZONE-like structure)
