Question
Answer
Drug derived from atropine   ipratropium  
🗑
MOA of ipratropium in asthma   M3 cholinergic receptor antagonist, bronchorelaxation and decreased mucus  
🗑
SE of ipratropium   dry mouth, GI upset  
🗑
Long acting Anticholinergic used for COPD   Tiotropium  
🗑
MOA of epinephrine   α-, β1-, β2- adrenergic agonist  
🗑
MOA of isoproterenol   β1-, β2- adrenergic agonist  
🗑
Activation of beta-adrenergic receptors has what effect on cAMP? Ca++? K permeability?   increases cAMP; decreases intracellular Ca; increases K permeability  
🗑
Stereoisomer of albuterol that has higher affinity for β2- adrenergic receptors?   Levalbuterol (R-)  
🗑
SE caused by epinephrine but not isoproterenol? Why?   HTN; alpha adrenergic agonist  
🗑
5 “newer” agents that bind β2- adrenergic receptors 200-400x more than β1-?   levalbuterol, albuterol, terbutaline, bitolterol, pirbuterol  
🗑
MOA of Salmeterol/Formoterol? Difference?   long acting β2- adrenergic agonist; Formoterol is fast acting, salmeterol is not  
🗑
MOA of theophylline   nonselective phosphodiesterase inhibitor; prevents cAMP degredation and T-cell immunomodulator  
🗑
Drug used in Tx of asthma that can cause ventricular arrhythmias and seizures   Theophylline  
🗑
Pt w/ Hx of asthma. Dx with GERD and started on new drug. Pt presents to the ED with NVD, insomnia and then seizure. What are the 2 drugs he is being treated with?   Theophylline and Cimetidine  
🗑
Glucocorticoids decrease what 2 factors that reduce the inflammatory response in asthma?   Il-4 and IL-5  
🗑
2 inhaled steroids that do not exhibit 1st pass metabolism   beclomethasone and triamcinolone  
🗑
Oral infection by this bug can be a side effect of inhaled steroids. How can you mitigate?   Candida ; spacer and wash out mouth  
🗑
MOA of cromolyn   “mast cell stabilizer” as well as preventing mediator release from other WBCs  
🗑
This drug is used with success in younger patients as well as those with exercise induced asthma.   cromolyn  
🗑
Downfall of cromolyn administration   QID treatments- inhaled  
🗑
MOA of zileuton   5-Lipoxegenase inhibitor  
🗑
These levels are decreased with Zileuton treatment.   LTA, LTC, LTD, LTE  
🗑
MOA of montelukast and zafirlukast   CysLT1 receptor blockers aka LTC4, LTD4, LTE4 blocker  
🗑
What is different about Tx with Leukotriene pathway blockers than all the other drugs?   oral administration  
🗑
What is seen in Pts with decreased pulmonary function with administration of leukotriene pathway inhibitors?   slight increase in pulmonary function  
🗑
MC toxicity with Zileuton treatment   hepatotoxicity  
🗑
An asthmatic Pt presents with granulomatous vasculitis iinvolving the small arteries of the heart, lungs, kidney and skin. What drug is causing this?   Leukotriene receptor blockers aka montelukast and zafirlukast  
🗑
MOA of omalizumab   FcεRI antibody; blocks IgE from binding on mast cell and decreases circulating levels of IgE  
🗑
Omalizumab also has this effect of IgE receptors   downregulation of receptor production  
🗑
Tx with Omalizumab differs from all other asthma treatments because of what?   It is parenteralally administered; SubQ every 2-4 weeks  
🗑
Treatment with theophylline and zifirlukast results in what?   decreased levels of zafirlukast  
🗑
