Assessing Changes in Volatile General Anesthetic Sensitivity of Mice after Local or Systemic Pharmacological Intervention
Published on: October 16, 2013
Resumen
El uso cuidadoso de antihistamínicos puede minimizar los efectos centrales como la sedación, preservando la actividad terapéutica. Algunas personas pueden desarrollar tolerancia, y formulaciones específicas ofrecen un mejor control de la sedación durante el día.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Farmacología Farmacología.
- Alergia e Inmunología.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los antihistamínicos son ampliamente utilizados para condiciones alérgicas.
- Los efectos del sistema nervioso central (SNC), en particular la sedación, son efectos secundarios comunes.
- Minimizar la sedación mientras se mantiene la eficacia periférica es un desafío clínico.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar estrategias para minimizar los efectos del sistema nervioso central de los antihistamínicos.
- Para evaluar el potencial de tolerancia a la sedación inducida por antihistamínicos.
- Para identificar antihistamínicos adecuados para pacientes que experimentan una sedación diurna problemática.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de la literatura existente sobre la farmacología de los antihistamínicos y su uso clínico.
- Análisis de las propiedades farmacocinéticas y farmacodinámicas de varios agentes antihistamínicos.
- Consideración de las formulaciones de fármacos, incluidas las opciones de liberación sostenida.
Principales resultados:
- Los efectos centrales de los antihistamínicos se pueden minimizar con una cuidadosa selección y uso de medicamentos.
- La tolerancia a los efectos sedantes puede desarrollarse rápidamente con ciertos antihistamínicos.
- Las formulaciones de liberación sostenida y la dosificación por la noche pueden reducir la sedación del día siguiente.
- El astemizol, la mequitazina y la terfenadina se muestran prometedores para pacientes intolerantes a la sedación.
Conclusiones:
- El uso juicioso de antihistamínicos puede equilibrar la actividad periférica con la reducción de los efectos secundarios centrales.
- Las respuestas individuales de los pacientes a los antihistamínicos varían, y la sedación no se puede eliminar por completo.
- Los antihistamínicos específicos y las estrategias de administración pueden mejorar la tolerabilidad en pacientes sensibles a la sedación.

01:14CNS Depressants: Barbiturates and Benzodiazepines
CNS depressants include drugs from the category of barbiturates and benzodiazepines. They are valuable medications for managing anxiety disorders and insomnia. Barbiturates, once used to induce and maintain sleep, have been replaced mainly by benzodiazepines due to barbiturate's toxicity, tolerance, and overdose risks. They interact with GABAA receptors, leading to sedation at low doses and potentially coma and death at higher doses. Phenobarbital, a long-acting barbiturate, possesses...
01:23Sedatives and Hypnotics: Overview
Sedatives are drugs that alleviate anxiety, while hypnotics induce sleep. Both classes of medication suppress neuronal activity, leading to a calming effect for sedatives and facilitating sleep for hypnotics.
Sedative-hypnotics are categorized into barbiturates, benzodiazepines (BZDs), and non-benzodiazepines or Z-drugs. These drugs work by suppressing central nervous system activity, and this suppression is dose-dependent. Older sedative medications, like barbiturates, follow a linear curve in...

01:20Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Barbiturates
Sedatives and hypnotics encompass a drug class that acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to alleviate anxiety, promote relaxation and induce sleep.These drugs function by amplifying the actions of the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), resulting in reduced neuronal activity. Barbiturates, a subset of sedatives and hypnotics first synthesized in the late 1800s, are categorized into ultra-short, short, intermediate, and long-acting groups based on their duration of effect. A key...
01:19Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines have both sedative and hypnotic properties. They include compounds such as diazepam (Valium) and alprazolam (Xanax). Structurally, their cores are similar, consisting of the fusion of a benzene ring and a diazepine ring, but they share a common mechanism of action in the central nervous system (CNS).
Benzodiazepines work by enhancing the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. They bind to the GABAA receptor, increasing its affinity for GABA, which opens chloride...

01:17Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Miscellaneous Agents
Sedatives and hypnotics encompass a wide range of substances, each with its unique mechanism of action, uses, and potential adverse effects.
Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...

01:15Upper Respiratory Drugs: First and Second-Generation Antihistamines
Antihistamines are a class of drugs widely used to alleviate the symptoms of allergies, such as sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion. They work by inhibiting the actions of histamine, which is released by immune cells in response to allergenic substances or tissue injuries.
Histamine binds to specific receptor sites, known as H1 receptors, on tissue cells, triggering inflammation and swelling. Antihistamines combat these effects by competing with histamine for these receptor sites. By...
