Term

List the effects of:

 

1)H1

 

2) H2

Definition
  • 1)
    • Mucus secretion
    • Vascular relaxation
    • Bronchial Constriction
    • Itching

Agonist = 2-methylhistamine

Antagonist = Classic Antihisatmine Agents

 

 

 

-----------------------------------
2)

  • Gastric acid secretion
  • vasc relacation 
Agonist = 4-Methylhistamine
Antagonist = Cimetidine, etc
 
 linked to Adenylyl cyclase
Term

 

H1 blockers

 ag/antag

 

 

H2 blockers

  ag/antag

 

 

H3 agonists

Definition
  • Diphendydramine (benidril)
  • Chlorpheniramine
  • Fexofenadine
  • Ioratadine
  • ==========================
  • Cimetidine
  • ranitidine
  • famotidine
  • nizatidine


-----

 

  • resp for the central effect of histamine
  • Agonist -  Alpha methlhistamine
Term

T/F  Bact in food releases Histamine that is uptaken into the body, causing swelling.

 

 

2) List the areas of conc. Histamine in body:

Definition

FALSE

All histomine in body is METABOLIZED and excreted in urine

 

 

The reason none is taken up effectively is becase any absorbed by intestines is immediately broken down in liver.

 

 

 ___________________________

2) Lung, mucus memb, skin, stomach, duodenum

Term
  1. How is histamine stored?s
Definition
  1. in secretory granules bound to heparin     (sotred in mast cells/basophils)        

Term

how is histamine released from basophils/mast cells?

 

Inhibits relase?

Definition

Previous exposure -- > specification of IgE

 

second exposure:

cross-link of IgE bound to Fc

=> phospholipase C activation

=> Ca+ relaser from ER ====>HISTAMINE RELEASE

 

 

adenylyl cyclase/cAMP inhibits Histamine release

Term
Name a physiological antagonist to histamine used to combat anaphylactic measures
Definition

epinephrine

 

Anaphylactic = ana (against) + Phylaxis (Protection)

 

Red spot: (vasod)

Flare: (RBC)

Wheal: (edema)

Term
Promethazine
Definition

what drug is used to treat atropine overdose?
Definition

physostigmine

 

inhibits ACHcholinesterase

 

***CAN PENETRATE BBB***

neostigmine cannot

Term
explain how the ____ system of the brain controles the vomiting reflex
Definition

VESTIBULAR

 

+Vomiting = Cholinergic

H1 blocker inhibits (dramamine) Cholinergic stim

 

-Vominting = Sympathetic

 Alpha Adrenergic increases Sympathetic Effect

(Sudafed)

Term

How do thse drugs affect vomiting?

 

1) Sudafed

 

2) Dramamine

Definition

1) Stimulates the Alpha Adrenergic system (Sympathetic), which is a supressor of the vomit reflec from the RETICULAR system

 

2) Inhibits the CHOLINERGIC system, which is a positive stimulator

Term

Astemizole is a second generation H1 blocker --

 

when is it CONTRAINDICATED?

Definition

causes Arrhythmias when taken in conj with Ketoconazole or eythromycxin

 

 

Term
Cromolyn Sodium
Definition

blocks Histamine release from mast cells

 

prophylactic treatment of Asthma

Term

blocks Histamine release from mast cells

 

prophylactic treatment of Asthma
Definition
Cromolyn Sodium
Term

newer drugs

Definition

H2 blocker

 

given to allow gastric ulcer to heal

 

inhibits helatic Cytochrome p450

==> drug interactions

 

------

 

Famotidine doesnt bind p450

 

C>R>N>F

 

 

Term
the antimotion seckness efficacy of antihistamines is their:
Definition

anticholineric properties,

 

 

**the cholinergic system is a promotor of the vomit reflex -- the Alpha adrenergic is a negative**

Term
the MOA of antihisamine agents is
Definition
competition for receptor sites with histamine
Term
Acute H1 bloacker poisoning
Definition

is similar to atropine poison in CHINLDREN

 

less effect on adults

 

 

Term

1)  What i s the result of a blockade of H2 receptors?

 

 

2)  Name a definative side effect of H2

 

 

3)  H1?

Definition

Decrease in cAMP

 

G(s) = protein coupled receptors, like Beta adrenoreceptors

 =======================

 

2)   P450 enzyme inhibition

 

----------------

 

3) Anyi-motion sickness

 

Term
What is true of the efficacy and potency of H2 blockers?
Definition
they have the same EFFICAYS, but different POTENCIES
