Question
Answer
early phase of asthma   bronchospasm  
🗑
late phase of asthma   inflammation  
🗑
B2 agonists (albuterol, salmeterol) MOA   relaxation of bronchiole smooth muscle  
🗑
mast calls & T-lymphocytes release which mediators   histamine, tryptase, PGD2, LTC4, PAF, IL-4, IL-5, GM-CSF, TNF, TGF  
🗑
eosinophils and neutrophils release which mediators   ECP, MBP, Protease, PAF  
🗑
corticosteriods (beclomethasone, budesonide) MOA   broad anti-inflammatory actions  
🗑
methylxanthines (theophylline) MOA   relaxation of bronchiole smooth muscle, effects on T-cells & eosinophils, increased mucociliary clearance (all via increase in cAMP)  
🗑
cromolyn, nedocromil MOA   inhibit release of inflammatory mediators  
🗑
leukotriene modifiers (zafirlukast, montelukast) MOA   antagonize the actions of LTs in the airways  
🗑
muscarinic antagonists (ipratropium) MOA   muscarinic blockade in airways (blocks parasympathetic bronchoconstriction)  
🗑
monoclonal antibodies (omalizumab) MOA   block IgE binding to mast cells  
🗑
non-selective beta-agonists (3) used for asthma   epinephrine, ephedrine, isoproterenol  
🗑
epinephrine - forms, onset & DA, adv rxns   injectable, aerosolinhalation: onset in 15 minduration: 60-90 minadv rxn: tachycardia, arrythmias, MI, skeletal muscle tremor  
🗑
ephedrine for asthma (compared to epi)   oral adm; longer acting; more CNS effects; less potent  
🗑
isoproterenol for asthma (compared to epi)   more potent; short onset of 5 min; 60-90 min duration  
🗑
B2-selectives - onset, peak and DA if inhaled   onset at 1-5 min; peak at 30 min; lasts for 2-6 hrs  
🗑
B2-selectives - oral DA   ~ 4-8 hrs  
🗑
B2-selective drugs   albuterol (O/I), terbutaline (O/I), metaproterenol (O/I), bitolterol, pirbuterol, levalbuterol, salmeterol, formoterol  
🗑
long-acting B2-selective drugs (12 hours or longer - useful for nocturnal symptoms)   salmeterol, formoterol --> both are dry powder inhalers  
🗑
% of dose from MDI that actually makes it into the lung   2 - 10% (90% deposited in the mouth)  
🗑
tolerance to B2-selective agents tends to develop in response to which effect   tolerance to anti-inflammatory effects (mast cells and lymphocyets) more than tolerance to brochodilation  
🗑
drug interaction with selective B2 agonists   interaction b/w non-selective beta-blockers and selective B2 agonist (counteract one aother)  
🗑
Methylxanthine drugs (4)   theophylline, aminophylline, enprofylline (3-propylxanthine), and Roflumilast (newest agent in clinical trials)  
🗑
two proposed methylxanthine MOA's (theophylline, aminophylline)   Increased cAMP results in:1) inhibtion of PDE4 (requires high conc.), 2) blockade of adenosine receptors, A1 in bronchiole sm (seen at therapeutic concentrations)  
🗑
therapeutic index/range for methylxanthine drugs (theophylline, aminophylline)   10-20 micrograms/ml (SEs appear around 20-25 micrograms/ml; higher than 40 can lead to seizures or arrhythmias)  
🗑
metabolism of methylxanthines (theophylline, aminophylline)   CYP 450: 1A2 --> drug interactions  
🗑
what's special about roflumilast   newest methylxanthine in clinical trials - high specificity for PDE4 in the lungs, less AE  
🗑
what's special about enprofylline   potent bronchodilator that shows PDE4 inhibition, but no adenosine receptor antagonism  
🗑
muscarinic antagonists for asthma (2)   Ipratropium & Tiotropium: Ipratropium bromide (quaternary ammonium compound)Tiotropium (Spiriva) – new agent with 24-hr duration of action  
🗑
muscarinic antagonists (Ipratropium & Tiotropium) - MOA   blocking muscarinic receptors prevents parasympathetic bronchoconstriction - M3 receptor  
🗑
which disease state should muscarinic antagonists be used carefully in   glaucoma  
🗑
muscarinic antagonists (Ipratropium & Tiotropium) - time to peak, DA   Max effect in 30 min; duration of 3-5 hrs  
🗑
Combivent (MDI) - 2 products   albuterol (b2 selective agonist) + ipratropium (muscarinic antagonist)  
🗑
MOA for Cromolyn (Intal) & Nedocromil (Tilade)   inhibition of mast cell degranulation; inhibit mediator release from bronchial mast cells inhibition of parasympathetic & cough reflexes; not bronchodilators; no direct effects on smooth muscle  
🗑
uses for for Cromolyn (Intal) & Nedocromil (Tilade) (mast cell degranulation inhibitors)   only prophylactic use – decrease immediate & late-phase asthmatic response to antigen-, exercise-, and irritant-induced asthma; effective when given before exercise or exposure to irritants  
🗑
