this pathway yields leukotrienes
lipoxygenase
neutrophil chemotactic agent
LTB4
function in bronchoconstriction, vasoconstriction, contraction of smooth muscle and increase vascular permeability
LTC4, D4, E4
inhibits platelet aggregation and promotes vasodilation
PGI2
these work by blocking phospholipase A2 and protein synethesis of COX
corticosteroids
work by blocking COX
NSAIDS, tylenol, cox-2s, aspirin
MOA of aspirin
blocks cox and thromboxane (anti-platelet properties)
effects of thromboxane
increases platelet aggregation

increases vascular tone

increases bronchial tone
effects of prostaglandins (PGE, PGF)
decreases vascular tone

decreases bronchial tone

increases uterine tone
effects of prostacyclin (PGI)
decreases platelet aggregation

decreases bronchial tone

decreases uterine tone
effects of leukotrienes
increase bronchial tone
blocks leuotrienes
zafirlukast

montelukast (asthma)

unsaturated fatty acids (also prostaglandins)
blocks lipoxygenase

ketoprofen
how NSAIDs interact with warfarin
displaces warfarin from albumin
benefit of COX 2
GI

only gets in inflammatory cells
MOA of colchicine
depolymerizes microtubules (which forms the mitotic spindle), impairs leukocyte chemotaxis and degranulation
SE of colchicine
GI effects
MOA of probenecid
inhibits reabsorption of uric acid in PCT
MOA of allopurinol
inhibits xanthine oxidase, decreasing the conversion of xanthine to uric acid
uses of allopurinol
chronic gout

lymphoma/leukemia to prevent urate nephropathy
interactions of allopurinol

used in acute gout
colchicine and indomethacin
used in chronic gout
probenicid and allopurinol
contraindicated in gout
salicylates
MOA of etanercept
inhibits lymphotoxin-a
binds TNF-alpha

acts as a decoy and decreases cellular action of TNF-a
MOA of infliximab
anti-TNF antibody

complexes with soluble TNF-a and prevents its interaction with p55 and p75 cell receptors

down regulates macrophage and T cell function
SE of infliximab
increased risk of infection (TB, etc)
uses for etanercept
RA, psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis
uses for infliximab
crohn's, RA, AS
MOA for chloroquine
suppresses T cells to mitogens

decreases leukocyte chemotaxis

stabilizes lysosomal enzymes

traps free radicals
MOA of gold
alters macrophages, inhibits IL-1 and reduces histamine release
uses of gold
RA
Sjogren's
JRA
MOA of methotrexate
cytotoxic to S-phase

DOC of RA
SE of methotrexate
nausea and ulcers
these drugs supress T and B cells
cyclophosphamide and azathioprine
MOA of cyclosporine
inhibits IL-1,2 receptor production and macrophage T cell interacion
