The Vomiting Center and the Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone
Pharmacologic Control of Vomiting Todd R. Tams, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital Pharmacologic Control of Acute Vomiting Initial nonspecific management of vomiting includes NPO (in minor cases a 6-12 hour period of nothing per os may be all that is required), fluid support, and antiemetics. Initial feeding includes small portions of a low fat, single source protein diet starting 6-12 hours after vomiting has ceased. Drugs used to control vomiting will be discussed here. The most effective antiemetics are those that act at both the vomiting center and the chemoreceptor trigger zone. Vomiting is a protective reflex and when it occurs only occasionally treatment is not generally required. However, patients that continue to vomit should be given antiemetics to help reduce fluid loss, pain and discomfort. For many years I strongly favored chlorpromazine (Thorazine), a phenothiazine drug, as the first choice for pharmacologic control of vomiting in most cases. The HT-3 receptor antagonists ondansetron (Zofran) and dolasetron (Anzemet) have also been highly effective antiemetic drugs for a variety of causes of vomiting. Metoclopramide (Reglan) is a reasonably good central antiemetic drug for dogs but not for cats. Maropitant (Cerenia) is a superior broad spectrum antiemetic drug and is now recognized as an excellent first choice for control of vomiting in dogs. Studies and clinical experience have now also shown maropitant to be an effective and safe antiemetic drug for cats. While it is labeled only for dogs, clinical experience has shown it is safe to use the drug in cats as well. Maropitant is also the first choice for prevention of motion sickness vomiting in both dogs and cats. -

pharmaceutics Review The Significance of NK1 Receptor Ligands and Their Application in Targeted Radionuclide Tumour Therapy Agnieszka Majkowska-Pilip * , Paweł Krzysztof Halik and Ewa Gniazdowska Centre of Radiochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry, Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology, Dorodna 16, 03-195 Warsaw, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-22-504-10-11 Received: 7 June 2019; Accepted: 16 August 2019; Published: 1 September 2019 Abstract: To date, our understanding of the Substance P (SP) and neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) system shows intricate relations between human physiology and disease occurrence or progression. Within the oncological field, overexpression of NK1R and this SP/NK1R system have been implicated in cancer cell progression and poor overall prognosis. This review focuses on providing an update on the current state of knowledge around the wide spectrum of NK1R ligands and applications of radioligands as radiopharmaceuticals. In this review, data concerning both the chemical and biological aspects of peptide and nonpeptide ligands as agonists or antagonists in classical and nuclear medicine, are presented and discussed. However, the research presented here is primarily focused on NK1R nonpeptide antagonistic ligands and the potential application of SP/NK1R system in targeted radionuclide tumour therapy. Keywords: neurokinin 1 receptor; Substance P; SP analogues; NK1R antagonists; targeted therapy; radioligands; tumour therapy; PET imaging 1. Introduction Neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R), also known as tachykinin receptor 1 (TACR1), belongs to the tachykinin receptor subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also called seven-transmembrane domain receptors (Figure1)[ 1–3]. The human NK1 receptor structure [4] is available in Protein Data Bank (6E59). -
Pfizer Animal Health Technical Bulletin
Pfizer Animal Health Technical Bulletin December 2011 Value of CERENIA® (maropitant citrate) in the Treatment of Acute Vomiting in Dogs Matthew Krecic, DVM, MS, MBA, Robert Lavan, DVM, MS, MPVM, Diplomate ACVIM Diplomate ACVPM KEY POINTS • Vomiting is a complex physiological process that is regulated by several brainstem nuclei that comprise the emetic center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CRTZ) in the central nervous system (CNS). There are multiple causes of vomiting that act via central direct (higher brain), peripheral direct (GI tract), or peripheral indirect (blood borne toxins such as in kidney failure) pathways. Some serious diseases can stimulate the vomiting reflex through both peripheral pathways. Causes of vomiting include diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, non-GI tract diseases, exposure to toxins, and motion sickness. • CERENIA (maropitant citrate) is an FDA-approved drug for the prevention of acute vomiting and the prevention of vomiting due to motion sickness in dogs 16 weeks and older. Maropitant is a neurokinin receptor (NK1) antagonist that blocks the binding of the endogenous ligand substance P in the CNS. Substance P is the main CNS neurotransmitter that mediates emesis. Because of its pharmacodynamic action at the central NK1 receptor, CERENIA is broadly effective against vomiting caused by central and peripheral signals. • CERENIA (maropitant citrate) Tablets are indicated for the prevention of acute vomiting and the prevention of vomiting due to motion sickness in dogs. CERENIA Injectable Solution is indicated for the prevention and treatment of acute vomiting in dogs. CERENIA is available as an oral tablet (multiple strengths) and as a solution for subcutaneous (SC) injection. -

MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE ABDOMINAL PAIN Patrick McGonagill, MD, FACS 4/7/21 DISCLOSURES • I have no pertinent conflicts of interest to disclose OBJECTIVES • Define the pathophysiology of abdominal pain • Identify specific patterns of abdominal pain on history and physical examination that suggest common surgical problems • Explore indications for imaging and escalation of care ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (1) HISTORICAL VIGNETTE (2) • “The general rule can be laid down that the majority of severe abdominal pains that ensue in patients who have been previously fairly well, and that last as long as six hours, are caused by conditions of surgical import.” ~Cope’s Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen, 21st ed. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE DIAGNOSIS AND SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF ABDOMINAL PAIN • Listen to your (and the patient’s) gut. A well honed “Spidey Sense” will get you far. • Management of intraabdominal surgical problems are time sensitive • Narcotics will not mask peritonitis • Urgent need for surgery often will depend on vitals and hemodynamics • If in doubt, reach out to your friendly neighborhood surgeon. Septic Pain Sepsis Death Shock PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF ABDOMINAL PAIN VISCERAL PAIN • Severe distension or strong contraction of intraabdominal structure • Poorly localized • Typically occurs in the midline of the abdomen • Seems to follow an embryological pattern • Foregut – epigastrium • Midgut – periumbilical • Hindgut – suprapubic/pelvic/lower back PARIETAL/SOMATIC PAIN • Caused by direct stimulation/irritation of parietal peritoneum • Leads to localized -

Neurokinin Receptor NK Receptor
Neurokinin Receptor NK receptor There are three main classes of neurokinin receptors: NK1R (the substance P preferring receptor), NK2R, and NK3R. These tachykinin receptors belong to the class I (rhodopsin-like) G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family. The various tachykinins have different binding affinities to the neurokinin receptors: NK1R, NK2R, and NK3R. These neurokinin receptors are in the superfamily of transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) and contain seven transmembrane loops. Neurokinin-1 receptor interacts with the Gαq-protein and induces activation of phospholipase C followed by production of inositol triphosphate (IP3) leading to elevation of intracellular calcium as a second messenger. Further, cyclic AMP (cAMP) is stimulated by NK1R coupled to the Gαs-protein. The neurokinin receptors are expressed on many cell types and tissues. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 Neurokinin Receptor Antagonists, Agonists, Inhibitors, Modulators & Activators Aprepitant Befetupitant (MK-0869; MK-869; L-754030) Cat.
