Presentation Transcript

  1. AUTACOIDS • Histamine • Bradykinin & Kallidin • 5 Hydroxytryptamine (5HT) • Autacoids derived from membrane phospholipid • Eicosanoids – arachidonic acid • (PG, PGI, TXA2, LT) • Modified phospholipids – PAF

  2. HISTAMINES Chemistry: imidazole ring + amino group connected by 2 methylene groups

  3. Synthesis • Decarboxylation of amino acid L-histidine catalyzed by pyridoxal PO4-dependent L-histidine decarboxylase. • Ingested from food or formed by bacteria in the GIT • Storage sites: • perivascular tissue – mast cell • circulation – basophil (bound to chondroitin SO4) • others – GIT, lungs, skin, heart, liver, neural tissue, reproductive mucosa, rapidly growing tissues and body fluids

  4. Metabolism : • Major pathways • Deamination – small intestine, liver, kidney and monocytes • Methylation – small intestine, liver, skin, kidney, thymus & leukocytes • N-methylimidazole acetic acid - principal urinary metabolite

  5. Metabolism :

  6. Functions: • Role in allergic responses – Ag + IgE (bound to mast cells & basophils) • Preformed mediators • Most important mechanism of release/controlled by H2 esp. in skin & blood • Release of other autacoids • Release by drugs (morphine, urase, amines), peptides, venoms & other agents • Release by urticarias • Gastric secretagogue • Neurotransmitter  increased wakefulness, thermoregulation

  7. Selected Actions of Histamine in Humans

  8. Selected Actions of Histamine in Humans

  9. Selected Actions of Histamine in Humans • H1, H2 - located in post synaptic membrane • H3 – presynaptic • H1 - predominant in endotracheal & smooth muscle • H2 - facial veins, carotid a, pulm. a, heart • gastric mucosa, heart, smooth muscle & some immune cells • H3 - several ares in CNS • Triple response - wheal, flare & redness

  10. H1 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS Pharmacokinetics: • Well absorbed from GIT (oral) • Onset – 30 minutes, duration – 3 to 6 hours • Widely distributed • Biotransformed in the liver; microsomal enzyme inducer • Excretion – kidneys

  11. Adverse Effects: • CNS : sedation, agitation, nervousness, delirium, tremors, incoordination, hallucinations, & convulsions - common in first generation antihistamines • GIT : vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, nausea, epigastric distress, constipation - dryness of mouth, throat & airway, urinary retention - first generation • Headache, faintness • Chest tightness, palpitations, hypotension • Visual disturbances • Hematological - leukopenia, agranulocytosis, HA

  12. Therapeutic Uses: • dermatosis • allergic rhinitis • motion sickness & emesis • Parkinson’s disease • EPS • Insomnia • Adverse reactions

  15. H2 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS Pharmacodynamics: • Inhibit gastric acid secretion • (-) effect of gastric motility, emptying time, LES sphincter, pancreatic & mucous secretion

  16. Cimetidine:  headache, dizziness • constipation, diarrhea • skin rashes • alterations of hepatic function • CNS disturbances (elderly & impaired RF) • BM depression – rare • Serum prolactin elevation • Sexual dysfunction & gynecomastia • Ranitidine:  Serum prolactin elevation Adverse Effects

  17. Drug Interactions: • Cimetidine inhibits cyto p-450 – accumulation of warfarin, phenytoin, theophylline, propanolol, diazepam & phenobarbital • Ranitidine – weak inhibitor • Nizatidine & famotidine – do not inhibit cyto P – 450 • Therapeutic Uses: Peptic acid disorders

  18. Vasoactive Peptides • Vasoconstrictors—angiotensin II,vasopressin, endothelins, neuropeptide Y • Vasodilators—bradykinin, natri-uretic peptides, vasoactive intestinal peptides, substance P, neurotensin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)
