Calcitonin
opposite of PTH
suppress bone resorption
produced by parafollicular cells
act via GPCR
regulated by Ca and PTH
can treat hypercalcemia, osteoporosis, paget disease
treatment for hyperthyroidism
thionamides
radioactive iodine
surgery (then L thyroxine for resultant hypothyroidism)
Thionamides
inhibit thyroid peroxidase-mediated iodination of thyroglobulin

methimazole
propylthiouracil
Methimazole
thionamide
better choice if 1 treatment chosen
propylthiouracil
blocks peripheral conversion of T4 to T3
treat thyrotoxic crisis
thionamide tox
methimazole can cause cholestatic jaundice
both can cause rash, arthritis, rarely-agranulocytosis
5 alpha reductase inhibitors
treat BPH/MPB
block conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone
bisphosphonates
tx osteoporosis, osteopenia, paget's
MOA- antiresorptive, inhibit osteoclasts by blocking farnesyl pyrophosphate synthesis
Alendronate
most potent bisphosphonate
Etidronate
bisphosphonate
give cyclically
bisphosphonates tox
erosive esophagitis
must take on empty stomach, full glass water, remain upright
Glucocorticoids effect on bone
antagonize vit D-mediated absorption of Ca++ and PO4
partially block reabsorption of Ca and PO4 in kidney
may enhance PTH-mediated bone resorption
Estrogens effect on bone
adsorb to bone crystals and render them resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis
Calcitriol
regulate gene txn
dec PTH
stimulate Ca and PO4 absorption from GI
stimulates FGF23 release from bone (inhibits VitD production)
RANKL + MCSF
differentiation and activation of osteoclasts
FGF23 excess
osteomalacia
(inhibits calcitriol production and dec phosphate levels)
Ganirelix
GnRH antagonist, tx prostate ca
flutamine
bicalutamine
nilutamide
treat hirsuitism
Sulfonylureas
Glipizide
Glyburide
Glimepiride

inc intracellular Ca= release insulin
can cause hypoglycemia
Biguanides
metformin

enhances insulin's suppression of gluconeogenesis
enhance glucose uptake by skeletal mm
dec TG and LDL
no hypoglycemia
Thiazolidinediones TZDs
Pioglitazine
Rosiglitazone

reduce insulin's resistance
inc glucose utilization in muscle
reduce TG, inc HDL
no hypoglycemia
Glinides
type 2 DM tx
repaglinide
exenatides

GLP-1 analog
Dipeptidylpeptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP4)
type 2 DM tx
Sitagliptin
Saxagliptin
alpha glucosidase inhibitors
acarbose
miglitol
bind jejunal brush border
cleave oligo and monsaccharides
Insulins
fast acting: Apart, Lispro, Glulisine

NPH (neutral protamine hagedorn)
Glargine- no peak
Detemir-no peak
Maximum effect on A1C
metformin>glipizide>glimepiride
SERMs
tamoxifen
nonsteroidal estrogen receptor ligand
agonist in bone and endometrium
antagonist in breast

(dec stimulatory GF like TNFalpha and inc inhibitory like TNF beta)
tamoxifen metabolism
CYP2D6 transforms it to endoxifen (100x more potent)

SSRIs dec conc of endoxifen
Aromatase MOA and indication
convert androgens to estrogens
treat locally advanced or metastatic breast ca
(not for premenopausal women)
premenopausal treatment for breast ca
premenopause = surg, chemo, then tamoxifen (NEVER chemo+hormonal)
ovarian ablation
postmenopausal treatment for breast ca
surgery
tamoxifen
chemo if necessary
selective aromatase inhibitor
progestins
GnRH agonist
LHRH agonist
treat prostate cancer
tumor flare- surge tesosterone before feedback loop inhibits (bone pain, neuropathy, hematuria, urinary obstruction)
abiraterone
treat castration-resistant prostate ca (pts previously treated with docetaxel)
combined androgen blockade
GnRH agonist + anti androgenic
hormones manipulated in oral contraception
GnRH stimulates FSH and LH
FSH stimulates estradiol secretion and stimulates follicles
progesterone is more dominant hormone in 2nd 1/2 of cycle
why estrogen in contraceptives?
negative feedback to pituitary = inhibit FSH and ovulation
why progestins in contraceptives?
negative feedback to pituitary= inhibit ovulation (<estrogen)
endometrial atrophy
thicken cervical mucus
Anastrozole
Exemestane
Letrozole
aromatase inhibitors
prevent conversion to estradiol
Goserelin
Leuprolide
Gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists
suppress FSH and LH to treat ca
Bicalutamide
Flutamide
Nilutamide
Abiraterone
anti-androgenic agents
nonsteroidal ligands
MOA of insulin
binds tyrosine kinase transmembrane receptor
phosphorylates tissue specific substrates (IRS1, SH2) change gene expression to upregulate lipoprotein lipase, fatty acid synthase, glucokinase
