Definition
benzodiazepines
Term
Treat narcolepsy with ___
Definition
stimulants (amphetamines, modafinil) and sodium oxybate (GHB)
Term
What α-amanitin is found in and what it does
Definition

Found in death cap mushrooms

 

inhibits RNA polII (can't make mRNA) and causes liver failure

Term
MOA of hydroxyurea
Definition
inhibits ribonucleotide reductase
Term
MOA of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP)
Definition
blocks de novo purine synthesis
Term
MOA of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)
Definition
inhibits thymidylate synthase (decreases dTMP)
Term
MOA of methotrexate (MTX)
Definition
inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (decreases dTMP)
Term
MOA of Trimethoprim
Definition
Inhibits bacterial dihydrofolate reductase (decreases dTMP)
Term
Treat orotic aciduria with ___
Definition
oral uridine
Term
MOA of tetracyclines
Definition
bind 30S subunit (a ribosomal subunit in prokaryotes), preventing attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA
Term
MOA of aminoglycosides
Definition
Bind 30S subunit (a ribosomal subunit in prokaryotes) and inhibit formation of the initiation complex and cause misreading of mRNA
Term
MOA of Chloramphenicol
Definition
Inhibit 50S (a ribosomal subunit in prokaryotes) peptidyltransferase to block peptide bond formation
Term
MOA of Ouabain
Definition
Inhibits Na+K+ATPase sodium pump by binding K+ site
Term
MOA of Cardiac glycosides (digoxin and digitoxin)
Definition

Directly inhibit the Na+K+ATPase pump, leading to indirect inhibition of Na+/Ca2+ exchange.

 

This increases intracellular Ca2+ concentration which increases cardiac contractility.

Term
Treat Cystic fibrosis with ___
Definition
N-acetylcysteine, to loosen mucous plugs (cleaves disulfide bonds in mucous glycoproteins)
Term
MOA of Disulfiram
Definition
inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (which causes hangover symptoms)
Term
MOA and purpose of Fomepizole
Definition
inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase and is an antidote for methanol or ethylene glycol poisoning
Term
Vitamin E deficiency can cause ___ and ___
Definition

hemolytic anemia (fragil erythrocytes, not protected from free-radical damage)

 

muscle weakness

Term
MOA and symptoms of arsenic poisoning
Definition

inhibits lipoic acid, which is a cofactor for pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (so you can't make acetyl CoA)

 

vomiting, rice water stools, garlic breath

Term
