What is Isoflurane's MOA?
Disrupts ion transfer at synaptic junctions --> disrupts nervous conduction
What is Isoflurane used for?
Anesthesia, anti-convulsant effects, and some muscle relaxation
Where is Isoflurane metabolized?
Lungs
What are some risks and/or side effects of Isoflurane?
Can trigger malignant hyperthermia
What drug class is Butorphanol in?
Opiod
What are some brand names of Butorphanol?
Torbutrol and Torbugesic
What type of opiod is Butorphanol?
Kappa agonist and mu sub-maximal agonist
What kind of onset and duration does Butorphanol have?
Rapid onset and short duration
What is Butorphanol used for?
Analgesia and cough suppressant
How is Butorphanol administered?
IV, IM, Sub-Q, Oral
What are some risks and/or side effects of Butorphanol?
Cattle get tremors and propulsive walking. Decreased respiration and HR.
How can you decrease unwanted motor responses wtih Butorphanol?
Administer with Acepromazine or Xylazine
What is the generic drug name for Regumate?
Altrenogest or allyl-trenbolone
What is Altrenogest?
Synthetic progestin
What is the MOA of Altrenogest?
Acts on progesterone receptors in the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary --> decreases secretion of FSH & LH
What is Altrenogest used for?
Inducing long-lasting ovarian suppression. Used to synchronize the estrous cycle --> withdrawal of therapy initiates a new estrous cycle.
How is Altrenogest administered?
Orally
What are some risks and/or side effects of Altrenogest?
PGF2a does not induce luteolysis in non-domestic felines
What is the brand name for eCG (Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin)?
Chorulon
What is eCG's MOA?
Binds to LH & FSH G-coupled receptors in the gonads. Primarily FSH-like activity. Sufficient LH-like activity to induce ovulation and leutinization
Where is eCG secreted in a pregnant mare?
Secreted from the endometrial cups of pregnant mares in early pregnancy
What is eCG used for?
Stimulates ovarian follicular growth. Used in combination with hCG for induction of ovulation & CL formation. In mares, it stimulates the development of luteal structures leading to increased progesterone secretion.
How is eCG administered?
IM (destroyed in the GI if given orally)
What makes hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)?
Made by syncytiotrophoblast cells of the placenta
What is hCG's MOA?
Binds to LH & FSH G-coupled receptors in the gonads. Primarily LH-like activity.
What is hCG used for?
Promotes follicle maturation & formation of CL. Used to induce ovulation after an appropriate follicle size has been achieved (usually by prior treatment with eCG)
How is hCG administered?
IM (destroyed in the GI if given orally)
What is Dinoprost Tromethamine?
PGF2-alpha
What is Dinoprost Tromethamine's MOA?
Activates a G-protein coupled receptor linked to IP3-Ca2+-protein kinase C pathway --> decreases steroidogenesis by the CL & induces luteolysis in large animals
When/where is PGF2-alpha produced?
Produced by the endometrium of farm animals in late diestrus if cycling and late term if pregnant
What is Dinoprost Tromethamine used for?
Used to stimulate lysis of the CL. Decreases length of the estrous cycle --> hastens the onset of estrus.
What is Dinoprost Tromethamine used for in horses?
Used to treat mating-induced persistant endometritis
What is Dinoprost Tromethamine used for in dogs, pigs, and cows?
Used to induce parturition and abortion
What is Dinoprost Tromethamine used for in cows?
Used to stimulate uterine contractions in order to pass the placenta at birth
What is Dinoprost Tromethamine used for in dogs and cats?
Used to treat uterine infections including pyometra
Which animal is Dinoprost Tromethamine not used on?
Pigs
How is Dinoprost Tromethamine administered?
Sub-Q and IM
What are some risks and/or side effects of Dinoprost Tromethamine?
Do NOT give IV. Can be absorbed thru the skin in humans. If given 2 days or more post-ovulation, it can interfere with normal CL development (when treating mating-induced endometritis)
