D1 > β1 > α1
dobutamine
β1 and β2 receptor stimulator
milrinone
positive ionotropic effect, vasodilating and minimal chronotropic effect
inhibits type 3 PDEase --> potentiates effects of cAMP and increasing Ca-ATPase activity on the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum
nitroglycerin
converted to NO which has a vasodilatory effect
atenolol *
propranolol
beta blockers (first one is cardioselective beta-one)
nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate)

verapamil
diltiazem
amlodipine
L-type Ca channel antagonist (CCA); drug either affects mainly heart or arterioles
aspirin (salicylate)
reversibly inhibits COX 1 and COX 2
abciximab
monoclonal a.b. irreversably binds IIb/IIIa receptors on platelets, which fibrinogen uses to bind platelets together
ticlopidine
antagonist of purinergic (ADP) receptor - P2Y-12; causes increase in cAMP and decrease in [Ca]

inhibits platelet aggregation and its ability to change shape
heparin - antiplatelet effect
maintains electronegitivity of damaged vascular wall to prevent platelet adhesion, aggregation and release rxn
heparin
inhibits protease activity of clotting factor 2, 9, 10, 11, 12; a catalase of AT (anti-thrombin)
dalteparin
enoxaparin
LMW heprin - binds to ATIII and inhibits activated factor 10
fondaparinux
a non-heprin anticoauglant:
binds ATIII - an indirect factor 10 inhibitor
lepirudin
a non-heprin anticoauglant:
inhibitor of free and bond thrombin IIa
argatroban
a non-heprin anticoauglant:
direct, competitive inhibition of thrombin
protamine sulfate
binds to heprin to reverse its action (some intrinsic anticoaug activity); also partially reverses LMW heprin
warfarin
inhibits vit K epoxide reductase --> reduced vit K is required for clotting factors 2, 7, 9 and 10
phytonadione
reduced vit K which reverses the effects of warfarin
simvastatin
pravastatin*
atorvastatin
rosuvastatin
HMG CoA reductase inhibitor - cause inc in hepatic LDL receptor via sterolstat
* LDL dec is < 25 - 30%
ezetimibe
blocks protein mediated transporter; absorbs dietary cholesterol from GI tract
cholestyramine
colestipol
colesevelan
ion exchange resins, bind bile acids
niacin
dec plasma FFA which results in dec of plasma TG
gemfibrozil
used to treat inc in TG; bind PPARα to activate LPL (esp sk mus) - inc VLDL hydrolysis and dec in IDL and LDL via liver clearnce
tissue plasminogen activator
serine protease --> cleaves plasminogen to make plasmin; also binds fibrin (on lysine site) to inc its activity
alteplase
unmodified human tPA produced by recombinant technology = systemic fibrinolytic state
streptokinase
binds plasminogen (C terminal) and induces conformational change - allows it to have protease activity (N terminal) - increases fibrinolytic state
aminocaproic acid
lysine analog; binds lysine binding site of plasmin, plasminogen, tPA, and alteplase
lidocaine
blocks Na channels in ventricles only = enhanced K current to decrease ERP and AP duration
atenolol
propranolol
esmolol
β blockers
amiodarone
blocks inward Na and outward K channels; also has some noncompetitive α and β blockade
sotalol
combined β blockade and block outward K repol current
verapamil
diltiazem
Ca channel antagonists; in slow fibers especially AV node (drug affects the heart)
digoxin
increase vagal tone; dec sympathetic activity
adenosine
inc. K conductance (hyperpol AV node); inhibits activity of symp stimulation to affect AV node
