Term
Bile Acid Binding Resins
Definition
Mech: bind bile acids -> Stool -> More synth from liver -> Liver cholesterol depletion -> Stimulate LDL receptors -> More LDL taken from blood
Term
Statins
Definition
Mech: Inhib hepatic HMG-CoA reductase (needed for chol synth) -> more LDL receptors expressed -> more LDL removed from blood
Term
Cholesterol Absorption Blockers
Definition
Mech: Inhibit traporter in jejunum via NPC1L1 protein -> decrease cholesterol uptake -> more synth in liver -> more LDL receptors on hepatocytses -> more LDL removed from blood
Term
Niacin (Nicotinic Acid)
Definition
Mech: Inhib lypolysis of TG via hormone sensitive lipase in fatty tissue -> less FFA transport to liver and hepatic TG synth -> less TG synth via inhibition of esterification of FA in liver
Term
Fibrates
Definition
Mech: Binds PPARalpha (nuclear receptor that normally turns on fatty acid synth to make TGs in liver and brown adipose tissue) -> decrease TGs via stim of FA oxidation, increased liporpotein lipase synthesis and decreased apoC-III
Term
Nitrates
Definition
Mech: Enter cell -> release NO -> activate gualylate cyclase -> cGMP -> vascular smooth M -> vasorelaxation (ESP VEINS RELAX TO PULL BLOOD AWAY FROM HEART)
Term
B-adrenergic Blockers
Definition
Mech: competitively block B-ad receptors
Term
Ca Channel Blockers
Definition
Mech: non-comp inhibit Ca++ thru V-sensitive L-type membrane Ca channels, DV also slows channel recovery time
Term
Ranolazine
Definition

Mech: 1. Block "late" Na current -> stop increased intracellular Na and Ca caused by ishchemia

2. Block FA oxidation -> use glucose (more efficent) instead

Ischemia -> Na/K ATPase + NHE + increase late Na current -> Na overload -> NCX -> Ca overload -> Mechanical dysfucntion (increase diastolic tension and decrease contractility) electrical issues (arryth) and O2 issue (increase ATP consumption and decreased ATP production)

Ranol: blocks the late Na current which stops the Na overload....YAY!

 

Term
Aspirin
Definition
Mech: Irreversibly acetylates COX-I -> blocks TxA2 synth -> less platelet aggregation (lasts 7-10 days b/c need to make more platelets)
Term
ADP Inhibitors
Definition
Mech: inhib ADP binding to receptor -> decrease plate agg and activation
Term
GP IIb/IIIa Receptor Inhibitor
Definition
Mech: prevent fibrinogen mediated cross-liknage via GP IIb/IIIa receptors -> less aggregation
Term
Heparin
Definition

Mech: catalyzes inhib of several coag proteases by antithrombin

X-thrombin -> inhib coag factors of intrinsic and common paths (Xa, IXa).  LMWH act on Xa mainly

Term
Fondaparinux
Definition
Mech: synthetic, sulfated pentasaccharide -> binds antithrombin -> selective inhib of Factor Xa
Term
Direct Thrombin Inhib
Definition
Mech: bind catalytic site of thrombin -> stop substrate access
Term
Fibrinolytics (TPA)
Definition
Mech: binds fibrin -> activate BOUND plasminogen -> plasmin -> lysis of PREFORMED clot
Term
Analgesics
Definition
Mech: stim mu-type opiod receptor in brain and SC
Term
Renin Angiotensin Inhib
Definition

Mech: inhibit ACE -> block angiotensin formation  (ACEI)

OR block access of angiotensin to AT-1 type tissue receptor (ARB)

Term
Oral X-Coags
Definition
Mech: block synth of reduced vit K (needed for synth of factors II, VII, IX and X)
Term
Loop Diuretics
Definition
Mech: Reversibly inhibit Na/K/2Cl- cotranport on luminal membrane of epi cells of thick acending limb
Term
Thiazide Diuretics
Definition
Mech: reversibly inhib Na/Cl cotransport on luminal membraine of distal convoluted tubule
Term
K+ Sparing Diuretics
Definition
Mech: block luminal epithelial cell Na channels in late distal tubule and collecting ducts (don't act on K+ channel or transport but Na and K linked in dist tubule, block Na uptake -> block K+ secretion...Na to urine, K stays in plasma)
Term
Aldosterone Antagonists
Definition
Mech: block expression of luminal epithelial cell Na channel in late distal tubule and collecting ducts.  Competitive ant of aldosterone receptor in kidney and other tissues (heart).
Term
Renin Angiotensin Inhibitors (HF) 
Definition
Mech: Block angiotensin formation via ACEI OR block angiotensin binding to AT-1 type tissue receptor via ARB
Term
Direct Arterial Vasodilators
Definition
Mech: unknown (selective arterial dilator)
Term
Digoxin
Definition
Mech: bind alpha subunit of Na/K ATP-ase -> less Na pushed out -> decrease Na/Ca exchanger -> less Ca pumped out during myocyte repol -> more contractility (unique!)
Term
B agonists
Definition

Mech: activate b-receptors in heart -> increase contractility (inotropic)

ALSO: Dope activated kids -> increase renal blood flow

High dose: stimulate alpha receptors

 

Term
Phosphodiesterase Inhibs
Definition
Mech: inhib phosphodiesterase type IIIa (SR of cardiac myocytes and vasc smooth M, not ED ones) -> increase cAMP in SR -> increase Ca in cells (similar to digoxin)
Term
Nesiritide
Definition
Mech: recomb form of human B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)
Term
Class IA
Definition
Mech: Block Na and K channels
Term
Class IB
Definition
Mech: block Na channels (esp w/high HR or in ischemic heart damage)
Term
Class IC
Definition
Mech: block Na channels (slow onset and offset)
Term
Class II
Definition
Mech: Beta blockers
Term
Class III
Definition
Mech: block K channels
Term
Class IV
Definition
Mech: block L-type Ca channel
Term
Adenosine
Definition
Mech: Open K channels -> decrease intracellular cAMP via inhib adenylate cyclase
Term
Aliskiren
Definition
Mech: block renin enzyme -> no formation of angiotensin I or II
Term
Newer Drugs for Chronic Stable Angina
Definition

Ivabradine: block pacemaker current -> decrease HR

Nicorandil: open ATP-sensitive K channels -> coronary dilation

Trimetazidine: inhibit mitochondrial 3-ketoAcyl CoA thiolase -> FA use to carb use for E (more efficient)

Perhexilene: inhib mitochondrial carnitine-palmitoyl-transferase -> FA use to carb use for E
