which PPI is a racemic of S and R conformation?
omeprazole
______ is he active compound of PPI
S-isomer
true or false
H-K ATPase is unique to parietal cells
true
explain the MOA of PPI
PPI forms a covalent sulfohydryl bond with H-K ATPase to inhibit its action
true or false
PPI enzymatic inhibition is permanent (meaning that it cannot be reversable)
true
true or false
Esomeprazole is the S-isomer of omeprazole. It has higher efficacy because it has a long transit time, higher AUC, and lesser first-pass
true
true or false
lansoprazole and pantoprazole have little or no significant DDI
true
true or false
antacids can be used as a monotherapy agent in the treatment of GERD
false
IPAN are located at the ________
submucosa
longitudinal cells promote _______
mixing
circular cells promote ________
peristalsis
the enteric nervous system consists of 2 network of neurons. These are:
• myenteric plexus
• submucosal plexus
• meissner’s plexus
• below the epithelium
• regulate secretion, fluid transport and vascular flow
submucosal plexus
• Auerbach’s plexus
• between the circular and longitudinal muscle
• regulates contraction and relaxation of the GI smooth muscle
myenteric plexus
parasympathetic input to GI is ______
excitatory (contraction)
sympathetic input to GI is ________
inhibitory (relaxation)
chemoreceptors are sensitive to _______
• acid
• glucose
• amino acids
sensory receptors are sensitive to ________
stretch and tension
which ENS receptors “taste” the lumenal contents?
chemoreceptors
luminal factors (like 5HT, VIP, etc.) derives from _______
EC cells
• ACh
• tachykinins
• substance P
cause gastric _________
contraction
• NO
• vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)
• ATP
• pituitary adenylyl cyclase activating peptide
cause gastric __________
relaxation
what are the primary target of serotonin within the GI tract?
• extrinsic nerves for nausea
• IPAN of the ENS
true or false
serotonin is a paracrine messenger and NT in the GI tract and they do not project to the muscle directly
true
delayed gastric emptying
gastroparesis
increased LES tone that results in dysphagia and regurgitation
achalasia of the esophagus
______ is due to fast GI motility
diarrhea
_______ is due to slow GI motility
constipation
• enhance the coordinated GI motility
• increase LES tone
• benefits for PUD, GERD, NV
• used to treat constipation
prokinetic agents
true or false
erythromycin, an antibiotic, can be used to treat constipation because it activates motilin receptor and increase LES tone
true
true or false
dopamine increase ACh level
false
• 5HT4 agonist
• FDA approved for use in women with IBS-C and men/women with chronic constipation
• stimulate motility and chloride secretion
tegaserod
• D2 receptor antagonist
• also agonize 5HT4 while antagonizing 5HT3
• increased transit time and LES tone
• mostly confined to the upper GI tract
• stimulates antral and small intestine contraction
metoclopramide
• anticholinergic agents that mostly target M3 receptors to increase ACh levels in the synapse
• ADR: bradycardia, flushing, diarrhea, cramps, salivation, blurred vision
neostigmine
