Question
Answer
MOA of true BNZ   Bnz binds WITH GABA at receptor-->activates Cl- channel-->Cl- rushes in to make cell more negative (hyperpolarized) --> decreased firing --> inhibitory effect  
🗑
do BNZs activate GABA receptors?   no - BNZ ONLY POTENTIATE the actions of GABA, which must be present  
🗑
do BNZ cross BBB   yes, lipid soluble with long-acting metabolitesw  
🗑
low dose of BNZ used in treatment of   anxiety, panic disorder, muscle spasms  
🗑
higher dose of BNZ used in reatment of   insomnia, pre-op (+ anterograde amnesia), seizures  
🗑
BNZ ADRs   CNS depression, resp depression, anterograde amnesia  
🗑
unusual ADRs BNZ   paradoxical sundowning effect, esp in elderly  
🗑
Special concerns BNZ   Category D, Interacts with CNS depressants, CYP 450 enzyme interactions  
🗑
what is are BNZ-like that binds WITH GABA resulting in a built-in anti-overdose feature   zolpidem (zaleplon & eszoplicone ACT like BNZs but use different MOA)  
🗑
zolpidem indicated for   ONLY sleep latency, prolongs duration somewhat. lacks muscle relaxant, anxiolytic, anti-seizure  
🗑
zaleplon MOA   diff chemical class with MOA similar to BNZ  
🗑
zaleplon indicated for   latency ONLY ---muscle relax, anxiolytic, anti-seizure  
🗑
unique to zaleplon   half-life is 1 hour, very short acting, only for sleep latency  
🗑
eszopiclone MOA   not chemically related to others in class, but has similar MOA at GABA receptor  
🗑
indication for eszopiclone   sleep DURATION only - half-life of 6 hours  
🗑
Class of drug - ramelteon   Melatonin-receptor agonist M1M2 in SCN suprachiasmatic nucleus (body's master circadian clock). Pineal gland increases melatonin at dark. this drug has 15 fold increase in affinity for MT1 receptors than melatonin  
🗑
Unusual features ramelteon   Category C, metabolites half-life 2-5 hours where drug half life only 1-3 hours  
🗑
Unusual ADRs ramelteon   potential for decreased testosterone, increase in prolactin  
🗑
Barbiturates - why no longer used   can bind WITHOUT GABA which means OD possible which depresses CNS --> decreased resp --> coma, death  
🗑
name one atypical antidepressent, with ADR of priaprism, used for hypnotic SE   trazadone  
🗑
name 2 first generation antihistamines used for their sedative SE   diphenhydramine, doxylamine  
🗑
