Proteasome inhibitors
Proteasome inhibitors
Proteasomes are protease complexes which are responsible for degrading endogenous proteins. Proteins to be destroyed are recognized by proteasomes because of the presence of ubiquitin conjugated to the targeted protein. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway plays an essential role in regulating the intracellular concentration of specific proteins, thereby maintaining homeostasis within cells. Proteasome inhibitors prevent this targeted decomposition of protein, which can affect multiple signaling cascades within the cell. This disruption of normal homeostatic mechanisms can lead to cell death. Proteasome inhibitors may be used to treat multiple myeloma and certain types of lymphoma. Baca Selengkapnya

Salicylates
Salicylates
A salicylate is a salt or ester of salicylic acid. Salicylates are found naturally in some plants (such as white willow bark and wintergreen leaves) and are thought to protect the plant against insect damage and disease. Aspirin is a derivative of salicylic acid - and is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. Baca Selengkapnya

Local injectable anesthetics with corticosteroids
Corticosteroid injections are given to reduce inflammation to the treated area. Anesthetic can be administered with the corticosteroid injection to reduce pain by blocking nerves and reduce the transient discomfort from the injection. Baca Selengkapnya
Antirheumatics
Antirheumatics
Antirheumatics include drugs, which are used to treat the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and those that can modify the course of the disease. The drugs that help treat the symptoms such as pain and inflammation are aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and steroids. Drugs that can slow the progression of rheumatoid arthritis and help with pain, inflammation and stiffness are called disease modifying rheumatoid arthritis drugs (DMARDs). Baca Selengkapnya
Cholesterol absorption inhibitors
Cholesterol absorption inhibitors
Cholesterol absorption inhibitors reduce the absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol through the intestines. Therefore it deceases the amount of intestinal cholesterol that is delivered to the liver. Reduced levels of cholesterol delivered to the liver results in increased hepatic LDL (low density lipoprotein) receptor activity, which leads to increased clearance of LDL cholesterol.

Hematopoietic stem cell mobilizer
Hematopoietic stem cell mobilizer
Hematopoietic stem cell mobilizer binds to the CXCR4 chemokine receptor and inhibits the binding of its ligand, stromal cell-derived factor-1-alpha (SDF-1-alpha). This leads to mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells to the peripheral blood. The hematopoietic stem cells (CD34+ cells) are collected from the peripheral blood and used for autologous transplantation in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Hematopoietic stem cells produce all types of blood cells so autologous transplantation restores normal production of the blood cells. Baca Selengkapnya
Anticholinergic bronchodilators
Anticholinergic bronchodilators
Anticholinergic bronchodilators (or muscarinic receptor antagonists) block the parasympathetic nerve reflexes that cause the airways to constrict, so allow the air passages to remain open. Muscarinic receptor antagonists bind to muscarinic receptors and inhibit acetylcholine mediated bronchospasm. Baca Selengkapnya
Thioxanthenes
Thioxanthenes
Thioxanthenes are typical (conventional) antipsychotic drugs structurally related to phenothiazines. They work as dopamine-2 (D2) receptor antagonists and suppress the effect of dopamine in the brain. Baca Selengkapnya
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors are a group of medicines that block the action of 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. This results in increased levels of testosterone and decreased levels of dihydrotestosterone; an overabundance of dihydrotestosterone has been implicated in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. The scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness) has also been found to contain increased amounts of dihydrotestosterone and miniaturized hair follicles compared with men who have a lot of hair.

Meglitinides
Meglitinides
Meglinitides work by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin in response to a meal. It closes ATP-dependent potassium channels in functioning pancreatic beta cells. This blockade of potassium channels depolarizes the beta cells, which leads to opening of calcium channels resulting in influx of calcium. Increased intracellular calcium induces insulin secretion.

Azole antifungals
Azole antifungals
Azole antifungals are a group of medicines that contain an azole ring and inhibit the growth of a wide range of fungi. They are classified into two groups: those with two nitrogens in the azole ring (the imidazoles; examples include clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, and tioconazole) and those with three nitrogens in the azole ring (the triazoles; examples include fluconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, and voriconazole).
