Question
Answer
which two glucocorticoids bind to the GR receptor with the greast affinity   Budesonide and Fluticasone  
🗑
Binding to the receptor can either result in the   activation or suppression of genes involved in the inflammatory process.(inhibition of transcription of genes coding for cytokines/activate genes that produce anti-inflammatory mediators)  
🗑
anti-inflammatory mediators   lipocortin-1, endonucleases and endopeptidases  
🗑
Lipocortin is a phospholipase A2 inhibitor and is significant in asthma how   This in turn prevents the conversion of membrane phospholipids to arachidonic acid and the synthesis of the leukotrienes LTC4 and LTD4 and LTB4. This in turns makes it a anti inflammatory mediator  
🗑
by preventing the formation of LTC4 and LTD4 what does this do   limits the amount of bronchonstriction that can happen since these cause contrition in asthma  
🗑
LTB4 is a chemotaxin that   recruits inflammatory cells.  
🗑
The outcome of activating lipocortin synthesis, therefore, is to inhibit production of   LTC4 , LTD4 and LTB4, and consequently, bronchospams prevented and recruitment of inflammatory cells, respectively.  
🗑
what is the most effective drug class for the treatment of chronic asthma   glucocorticoids  
🗑
Used long term, corticosteroids reduce   airway responsiveness to several bronchoconstrictor mediators and block both the early and late reactions to allergen  
🗑
Early anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids include   Reduce inflammatory cell activation, reduce mucosal edema, decrease local generation of inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes  
🗑
Long-term anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids include   t-cell, mast cell, eosinophil reduction  
🗑
glucocorticosteroids eventually reduces the early-phase response to allergens and prevents exercise-induced asthma by which mechanisms   believed to be through the reduction the synthesis of IL-3, the cytokine that regulates mast cell production.  
🗑
Certain corticosteroids - beclomethasone -   have low absorption across mucosal surfaces, but undergoes slow inactivation once it reaches the systemic circulation.  
🗑
Fluticasone is   very poorly absorbed from the gut and maybe preferred if high doses of inhaled drug are needed, or for the treatment of children.  
🗑
Ciclesonide   is a newly approved ICS for asthma (Alvesco).  
🗑
ciclesonide (alvesco)   delivered as a pro-drug, converted in the lung to (desisobutyryl ciclesonide ) by carboxy- and cholinesterases. also remains in the lung for a prolonged peirod of time because the active metabolite is conjugated to lipids forming a “reservoir”  
🗑
side effects of ICS are   dysphonia horseness and oral candidiasis  
🗑
what are some systemic effects of corticoids   osteoporosis and delayed growth the new drug ciclesonide is not shown to cause either of the side effects local or systemic  
🗑
glucocorticoids affects on bone   Increase osteoclast, increase collagenase gene, inhibit osteoblasts, effect collagen synthesis, decrease anabolic IGF-1, increase Ca2+ clearance by kidneys, increase parathyroid hormone, increase bone loss by decrease sex hormones  
🗑
who should we use glucocorticoids with caution in   rhemotoid athristis, cataract risk, those with glucoma or a risk, those with pancretitis,  
🗑
prednisolone is associated with   increased edema  
🗑
more selective to mineralcorticoid can lead to   muscle weakness and muscle wasteing  
🗑
