Study Notes
β2-Agonist Discovery
- The para-hydroxyl group shift prevents the action of COMT enzyme in the context of β2-agonist discovery.
- The fundamental pharmacophore for all β-adrenergic agonists is a β-phenethylamine structure.
- A lipophilic substituent on the nitrogen atom confers both β1- and β2-receptor selectivity in β-adrenergic agonists.
- A βOH group prevents action by Ndealkylation in the metabolism of β2-agonists.
- A lipophilic substituent on the nitrogen atom makes a compound unrecognizable by the metabolic enzyme while still binding to the receptor site.
Medications
- Salmeterol has a bitopic structure and is resistant to both MAO and COMT enzymes.
- The main reason for the long duration of action of Formoterol is its high lipophilicity.
- Zafirlukast is contraindicated in liver impairment.
- Montelukast has a FDA caution for the risk of neuropsychiatric events.
- Omalizumab is an injectable prescription medicine used to treat moderate to severe allergic asthma.
- Formoterol is highly lipophilic with optimal direct-acting β2-receptor selectivity and potency.
- Salmeterol has a lipophilic β-directing N-isopropyl p-methoxyphenyl group on the nitrogen atom.
- Montelukast is associated with drug-drug interactions with other drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
COPD Treatment
- Tiotropium bromide is more cost-effective compared to Ipratropium in the treatment of COPD due to its longer duration of action.
- Tiotropium bromide has a lipophilic substituent in combination with a βOH group and a salicyl phenyl ring.
- The primary reason behind the long duration of action of Tiotropium bromide is its high lipophilicity.
- The pharmacokinetic advantage of using Tiotropium bromide over Ipratropium in cases of COPD treatment is its longer duration of action.
Leukotriene Antagonists
- Zafirlukast is an orally administered leukotriene receptor antagonist used for the prophylaxis and chronic treatment of asthma in adults and children 5 years of age and older.
- XOLAIR (omalizumab) is unique in its use for treating allergic asthma as it is an injectable prescription medicine.
