Mechanism of action and adverse effects of corticosteroids
Endogenous/exogenous steroid
Immune response ↓ because of:Inhibition of T lymphocyte proliferationInhibition of cytokine production (IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IFN- α, and TNF-α) Redistribution phenomenon: circulatingneutrophil ↑, while lymphocyte, monocyte, and eosinophil ↓

2. CALCINEURIN INHIBITORS
• Mechanism of action:– Cyclosporine binds to cyclophylin (an
intracellular protein) → complex → inhibits calcineurin (an enzyme responsible for the activation of T-cell specific transcription factor called NFAT) → inhibits the synthesis of IL-2 and other interleukins
– Tacrolimus binds to a receptor called FKBP →subsequently also inhibits calcineurin
13
• Side effects:
- Nephrotoxicity
- Neurotoxicity- Hepatotoxicity- Gastrintestinal disturbances- Hirsutism, gingival hyperplasia (cyclosporine)- Hiperglycemia (mainly due to tacrolimus)
14
• Indications:
- Given alone or combined with other immunosuppressants: to prevent rejection of organ transplant
- Autoimmune diseases: psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, nephrotic syndrome
3. CYTOTOXIC AGENTSAzathioprineMechanism of action: inhibits purine synthesis
proliferation of lymphocyte ↓Indications: prevention of rejection to organ transplant and autoimmune diseasesSide effects:
MyelosuppressionGastro intestinal disturbanceIncreased risk to infection
15
MethotrexateInhibits dihidrofolate reductase blocks thymidilate and purine synthesisActs on S phase of cell cycle T cell functions are disturbedUsed as single drug or in combination with cyclosporine for prevention of transplant rejection, rheumatoid arthriritis, and psoriasisSE: myelotoxicity, liver cirrhosis, gastro intestinal disturbance
16
CyclophosphamideMech. of action: alkylates the DNAInhibits mainly B cell (humoral immunity), and less so to T cellIndications (in small dose): autoimmune diseases ( SLE, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura , RA, nephrotic syndrome)SE: hemorrhagic cystitis, pancytopenia, cardiotoxicity
17
4. MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL (MMF)
MA: strongly inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (an important enzyme in purine synthesis ) → blocks the activation of B and T-cellsIndications: prevention of rejection to kidney transplant (in combination with prednisone), rheumatoid arthritis, lupus nephritisSide effect: gastrointestinal disturbance, myelosuppression
18
5. IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE ANTIBODIES
Polyclonal antibody: ATG (antithymocyte globulin) Binds to various molecules on T-cell surface (CD2, CD3, CD4 , etc.) → lymphocyte number ↓ and inhibition of lymphocyte function
Monoclonal antibody: Muromonab CD3 (anti CD3, OKT3)
Binds specifically to CD3 molecule on the surface of T-cells → failure to recognize antigen
19
Rho(D) Immune GlobulinThis contains a specific antibody against Rh antigen on the surface of red blood cells
Indication: Mothers with negative Rh to prevent sensitization to antigen of positive Rh from their fetusesThe drug is given IM to the mother at 24-72 hr after delivery to clear the infant’s RBC from the mother’s circulation
20
Basiliximab and daclizumab- These drugs block the binding of IL-2
to the activated lymphocyte →immunosuppressive effect
- Block the activation and proliferation of T-cells
21
22
IMMUNOSTIMULANTS
Immunostimulant drugs consist of:1. Isoprinosine2. Levamisole3. Cytokines:
- IL-2- Interferron- Colony Stimulating Factors
23
Indication: to improve immune function in immune-compromised individuals. E.g.: AIDS, chronic infections, malignancies
Disadvantages:Weak therapeutic effects and non-specific to certain cell or antibody
24
Examples of immunostimulants (1)
1. Isoprinosine• Improve the functions of NK cell, T cell, dan
monocyte• Its clinical usefulness is highly controversial
2. Levamisole• Increases the cellular immunity• Indications: colorectal cancer and Hodgkin
disease• SE: agranulocytosis
25
3. Cytokines
a. IL-2 (T cell growth factor)
It binds to its receptor on the cell surface → activates proliferation and differentiation of T-helper, T-cytotoxic, B cells, and macrophage.Side effects: Severe hypotension, lung edema, nephrotoxicity, myelosuppression
26
Examples of immunostimulants (2)
b. InterferronsConsisted of IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ,
Indications:Melanoma, Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia, Kaposi’s sarcoma, chronic HCV infection SE: fever, chilling, myalgia, myelosuppression, depression
27
Examples of immunostimulants (3)
c. Colony Stimulating Factors- Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor, (G-
CSF), e.g. filgrastim: prevents neutropenia caused by cancer chemotherapy
- Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF), e.g. sagramostim: to speed up recovery after autologous bone marrow transplant

ANTIPYRETICS
Antipyretics
Antipyretics are drugs capable of reducing body temperatures in patients with fever
Antipyretics do not reduce normal body temperature

Commonly used antipyretics
AspirinIbuprofenMetamizol Paracetamol
33
AspirinAcetyl salicylic acidMA: inhibits biosynthesis of PGE2
Well absorbed → hydrolyzed in the liver →salicylic acid → excreted through the kidneyDosage (as antipyretic):
adult: 325 – 650 mg every 4 – 6 hchildren: 10 mg/kg BW every 4 – 6 h (max. ≤
3,6 g/day)Over-the-counter (OTC) drug
Side effects:GI disturbance: abdominal pain, nausea, dyspepsia, gastric/duodenal ulcer, diarrhea
Inhibition of platelet aggregation →prolonged bleeding timeReye’s syndrome: may occur (rare) if aspirin is given to children with viral infection. Symptoms: coma, seizure, cerebral edema, multi-organ failure and death
35
Salicylate intoxication → “salicylism” characterized by vomiting, tinnitus, hearing loss, hyperventilation, vertigo.
Tinnitus usually occur when plasma level of salicylic acid reaches 200-450 μg/mL (antipyreic dose of aspirin → plasma level of < 60 μg/mL)
IbuprofenIs a derivative or propionic acidAnalgesic and antipyretic effect: equal to aspirinAntiinflammatory effect: less than aspirinSide effect: GI disturbances (less than aspirin)OTC drug
Methampyron (dipyron, metamizole)
• Is a pyrazolon derivative with weak antiinflammatory effect
• Side effect: agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia → prohibited in many countries
• Indication:• Analgesic and antipyretic for conditions
failing to respond to the more safe agents • When parenteral administration is needed
Paracetamol (acetaminophen)
Paracetamol has a very weak antiinflammatory effect, but it is used in arthralgia because of its good analgesic effect Mechanism of antipyretic: Inhibition of PGE2 production in the preoptic region of hypothalamus
PharmacokineticsWell absorbed through oral route, metabolized in the liver, and excreted through the kidneyA minor but highly reactive metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzo-quinone imine (NAPQI)is hepatotoxic and nephrotoxicT½ is 2-3 hours, but may be doubled if very high dose is given
Side effects
Relative safe, also in pregnancy
In therapeutic dose (3-4 x 500 mg/day):does not affect the CVS system, respiration, platelet function and blood coagulationDoes not irritate or induce bleeding of the stomach
In a very high dose (10-15 g or 150-250 mg/kg BW) → NAPQI ↑ ↑ → depletion of body GSH (glutathion) → liver necrosis. Drug of choice for this condition: N-acetylcystein (given in 24 h)
