| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| when is tylenol useful? | -Samter's sndrome -Hemphilia -active PUD -children w/viral infxns |
| metab of tylenol? | -hepatically conjugated=>sulfate/glucuronide -high doses=>iminoquinone=>overwhemls glutath=>hepatic tox |
| ae of tylenol? | -LFTs -LT: renal impair -pts w/liver dz: hemolytic anemia, methemoglobinemia |
| why is Phenacetin banend in us? | -carcinogenicc -nephrotox |
| use of Chlorquine/hydroxy? | -FDA: RA...used for others like SLE, Sjoegrens -pts w/ MILD dz w/o bony erosions (not help w/bone damage) |
| metab of chloroquine? | -oral ->plasma proteins -> esp taken up by melanin-tissues like eyes -> slow liver metab (1/2= 40 d!) |
| shortcoming of chlorquien? | -takes months to work and for mild dz only |
| ae of chlorquine? | -ocular toxicity -GI effects, rash, nightmares |
| chlloroquine + preg? | 0ok |
| name the types of DMARDs | -glucocorticoids -immunosuppresants -gold, penicillamine -biologicals -tnf-a blockers |
| typical use of glucocorticois? | -most pts -esp early and in acute flares -esp intra-articularly -and for extra-articular manifestations |
| moa of mtx? | -inhib of AICAR ribonucleotide transformylase and thymidine synthase and leukocyte chemotaxis (high doses: inhib dihydrofolate reductase) ..mostly inhibits prolif/form of proinflam cytokines and ->apoptosis of inflam cells (vs DHFR=>lymphos and MOs) |
| metab of mtx? | -oral-> liver metab ->distrib widely= polyglutamated resorvoir -urine > bile excretion |
| hydroxychorquine + mtx? | reduced mtx renal clearance... |
| ae of mtx? | -nausea, apthous ulcers = MC -pneumonitis, pseudolymphomatous rxns -rarely cirrhosis (biopsy every 5 yrs) |
| c/i of mtx? | preg |
| use of leucovorin w/ mtx? | -reduces GI/liver tox, but decreases drug efficacy |
| moa of cyclophosphamide? | -prodrug -> phoshoramide mustard => akylates and x-links DNA=> prevents cell replication -suppresse T-cell (some B-cell) fxn in AI dzs |
| ae of cyclophos? | hemorrhagic cystitis...rare w/low doses used for AI dzs |
| moa of cyclosporine? | -inhibits IL-1 and IL-2 RECEPTOR produc and fxns of T-cells |

| moa of sulfasalazine? | -reduces produc of Rhematoid factor, suppresses T-cell fxn and B-cell prolif (decrease rlease/produc of inflam cytokines) |
| metab of sulfasalzine | -hydrolyzed in GI=> Sulfapyridine (RA, ankyl spond) and 5-aminosalicylic acid (IBD) -only 20% bioavail after oral, but some goes->enterohepatic recirculation=>hydrolysis via intestinal bacterial =>sulfpyradine liberation=>hepatic metab |
| ae of sulfasalazine? | -GI, h.a., rash -1/3 d/c -neutropenia, hemolytic anemia -pulm tox -methemoglobinbemia -REVERSIBLE INFERTILITY IN MEN! but non-teratogenic |
| moa of leflunomide | -prodrug to dihydroorotate dehydrogase inhib => decrease ribonucleotide synth and => cell cycle arrest in G1 ...=>inhib of T-cell prolif and B-cell auto-AB produc |
| use of LEflunomide? | mostly RA...as effective as MTX...oftne used as combo w/ MTX |
| metab of Leflunomide? | -oral => plasma and GI=>active drug =>enteroheptic circulation |
| drug itneractions w/ leflunomide? | -cholestyramine and resin binders can interrupt the meteab (enterohepatic circ) => increased clearance |
| ae of leflunomide? | -diarrhea -LFTs -alopecia -wt gain -htn |
| c/i of leflunomide? | preg |
| moa of mycophenolate mofetil? | -prodrug -> immed hydrolyzed to mycophenolic acid -> inhib iosine monophosphate dehydrogenase =>T_cell prolif/leukocyte adhesion inhib via ICAM-1 inhib.... |
| use for mycophenolate mofetil? | -mc in Lupus nephritis, s.t. vasculitis/wegeners -NOT usually for RA |
| moa of azathioprine? | -hepatic metab=> 6-thioguanine, which inhibits INOSINIC ACID and then PURINE synth, then reduces B- and T_cell fxn , IG produc, IL-2 secretion |
| metab of aza? | -genetically based...10% have less fxn of thiopurine s-methytransferase and .3% have hardly any fxn...high rx of myelosuppression if dont reduce dose |
| use of aza? | fda: RA...also used for psoraitic arth , lupus, behcet dzs |
| ae of aza? | BM SUPPRESSION....GI, infxn, lyymphoma Allergy: fever/rash/LFTs |
| problem w/ D-penicillamine? what to do if you do use it? | -slow, not that effective, Lupus like illness, leukopenia (and bad GI effects) -must monitor: temp, cbc, renal fxn |
| problem w/ gold tx? | -limited efficcy, unk moa, IM -apthous ulcers!...thrymobocyto, proteinuria, leukppenia, anemia, NITRITOID RXN , chronic=>ligh blue skin |
| name the biologicals | abatacept anakinra rituximab |
| moa of abatacept | -costim modulation: binds CD80 and CD86 on APC => prevents t-cell binding to cd28 and stops t-cell activatilon |
