DIURETICS - CARDIOVASCULAR DRUGS ( PART 7/7) LIPINCOTT AND KADZUNG REVIEW CHAPTES

Image
 Thiazide Diuretics Sulphonamide derivative..related in structure to Carbonic Anhydrase….partly depend on renal PG synthesis Act on DISTAL CONVULATED TUBULE….called Ceiling Diuretics b/c increase in dose above normal dose not increase Diuretic response MOA= Act on distal tubules...inhibit Na+/CI- Cotransporter…decrease Reabsorption of Na+….increased Excretion of Na+ & CI-..Loss of K+..Loss of Mg++..decreased excretion of Ca++…reduced peripheral Vascular Resistance T.E= used in Hypertension, HF (decrease extracellular volume), Hypercalciuria,Diabetes Insipidus…… excreted thhroughorganic acid secretary sys of kidney S.E= Hypokalemia, Hyonatremia, HyperUricemia (by decreasing excretion of uricacid from organic acid secretary sys), Volume depletion, Hypercalcemia, Hyperglycemia,Hyperlipidemia, Hypersensitivity Loop Diuretics Act on ASCENDING LOOP OF HENLE….high Efficacy…Ethacrynic acid has Steeper Dose Response Curve….Bumetanide more potent MOA= inhbit Na+/K+/2CI-Cotransport in ...

HYPERLIPIDEMIA - CARDIOVASCULAR DRUG (PART 6B / 7) | PHARMACOLOGY REVIEW

Image
 HMG CoA Reductase Inhibitors (Statins)  3-Hydroxy-3-MethylGlutryl-Coenzyme A reductase inhibitors lower LDL Cholesterol level..Rate limiting step Cholesterol synthesis MOA =Statin inhibit HMG Co A reductase ...which convert HMG CoA into Mevalonic Acid which convert into Cholesterol…decrease conc. Of Cholesterol within cell Low intracellular Cholesterol stimulate synthesis of LDL receptor…Increased LDL receptor promote uptake of LDL from blood Low intracellular Cholesterol decrease Secretion of VLDL Increase plasma HDL level T.E= All types of Hyperlipidemia…..Familial Hypercholeserolemia lack LDL receptor so benefit less S.E= myopathies, rhabdomylysis, increase LFT, t1/2 1.5-2hr...Lova & Simva prodrug Contraindicated in pregnancy & lactation, teenage & children… Niacin (Nicotinic acid)  reduce LDL(Bad cholesterol), increase HDL(good  cholesterol ) MOA =inhibit Lipolysis in Adipose tissue…decrease level of Free Fatty Acids..liver use these Free Fatty A...
