The document discusses antiemetics and their mechanisms of action. It summarizes that antiemetics act on the vomiting center in the brainstem to prevent nausea and vomiting. The vomiting center receives input from various areas and transmits signals via neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine and substance P. Common antiemetic drug classes include 5-HT3 antagonists, antihistamines, neurokinins, cannabinoids and corticosteroids. Metoclopramide is highlighted as having prokinetic effects via D2 antagonism while ondansetron is an effective 5-HT3 antagonist for chemotherapy-induced nausea.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

3. •Vomiting is a complex process that appears to be
coordinated by a central vomiting center in the
lateral reticular formation of the mid brainstem
4. The vomiting center receives information from
1. The CTZ(Chemoreceptor trigger zone) and
NTS(Nucleus tractus solitarius)
2. The gut, principally by the vagus nerve
3. The cerebral cortex (particularly in anticipatory
nausea or vomiting, pain, sight, smell)
4. The vestibular apparatus (in motion sickness)
via cerebellum, receptor involved are M1 andH1
•Relay information to the vomiting center to trigger
nausea and vomiting
5. •Vomiting(emetic) center is adjacent to
•Chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in
the area postrema on the floor of the
fourth ventricle and lack blood-brain
barrier
•Nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS)
posterolateral region of the medulla
6. 1. Serotonin (5HT3)
2. Dopamine (D2)
3. Acetylcholine (muscarinic M1)
4. Neurokinin (NK1)
5. Cannabinoid (CB1)
6. Opioids
1. Histamine (H1)
2. Acetylcholine (M1)
3. Serotonin (5HT3)
4. Dopamine (D2)
CTZ
NTS
Antiemetics generally are classified according
to the predominant receptor on which they
are proposed to act
14. 1. GIT
Dopamine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter
in the GIT.
Delays gastric emptying
Relaxes LES.
15. a. D2 antagonism in GIT
Prominent effect on upper GIT
Speeds gastric emptying
1. Increases gastric peristalsis
2. Relaxes pylorus & first part of the duodenum
3. Lower esophageal sphincter tone is increased &
gastroesophageal reflux is opposed.
16. b. 5HT4 agonism in GIT
Enhances ACH release from myenteric motor
neurons, thereby increasing GI motility.
C. 5 HT3 antagonism
1. Block 5HT3 rs present on inhibitory myenteric
interneurons & enhance AcH release, thereby
increasing GI motility.
18. Rapidly absorbed orally.
Crosses BBB.
Metabolised in liver excreted in urine
t½ 3-6 hours
Onset of action
oral 30 mins
IM 10 mins
IV 2 mins
19. 1. Abolishes the therapeutic effect of levodopa
by blocking DA receptor.
2. Hastens absorption of aspirin, diazepam
by facilitating gastric emptying.
3. Reduces absorption of digoxin, cimetidine.
22. 1. Antiemetic
a. Vomiting d/t GI disorder
b. Postoperative vomiting
c. Drug induced vomiting
d. Disease associated vomiting
e. Radiation sickness vomiting
f. Chemotherapy induced vomiting
23. 2. Gastrokinetic to accelerate gastric emptying
a. When emergency GA has to be given &
pt has taken food less than 4 hours before.
b. To relieve post vagotomy or diabetic gastro paresis
associated gastric stasis.
24. D2 receptor antagonist.
Prokinetic action is d/t D2 rs antagonism in GIT.
Antiemetic action is d/t D2 rs antagonism in CTZ.
D/N cross BBB.
D/N cause extrapyramidal SE.
25. Domperidone & not metoclopramide is used
to counteract emesis d/t Levodopa WHY?
Domperidone d/n cross BBB
& hence d/n block the therapeutic effect of levodopa.
27. Same as metoclopramide.
Not useful in chemotherapy induced vomiting.
DOSE: 10-40 mg tds
28. 5HT4 agonist
myenteric plexus
5HT3 antagonist
D/N block D2 receptor
No antiemetic action.
No extrapyramidal SE
Not banned but considered unsafe as there are
chances of ventricular arrhythmias.
29. D2 antagonistic action
AntiChE ( Ach potentiating) activity
Low affinity for 5HT4 receptors
Less chances of arrhythmias
SE: Diarrhoea, Galactorrhoea & Gynaecomastia
No extrapyramidal SE
35. Chemotherapy induced vomiting : 8mg iv or oral
Highly emetogenic chemotherapy: Slow IV infusion over
15 mins ;30 mins before chemotherapeutic infusion.
Dexamethasone 8-20 mg IV
Less emetogenic administered orally.
Radiation induced vomiting
Postoperative vomiting
36. 10 times more potent than ondansetron.
Long t1/2 of 8-12 hrs
1-3 mg diluted in 20-50 ml saline & infused IV over
5 mins before chemotherapy, repeated after 12 hrs.
37. Blocks D2 receptor in CTZ.
Labyrinthine suppressant.
Indicated in vertigo associated with vomiting
limiting features
1. Extrapyramidal SE
2. Muscle dystonias
38. Aprepitant
Activation of neurokinin receptor in CTZ & NTS
by substance P released due to emetogenic
chemotherapy & other stimuli plays a role
in the causation of vomiting
39. Alternative antiemetic for moderately emetogenic
chemotherapy in patients who cannot tolerate
other antiemetics or are unresponsive to them.
Hallucination, disorientation can occur
Nabilone is another cannabinoid with antiemetic
property
40. Corticosteroids are prescribed along with primary
antiemetic drugs like metoclopramide, ondansetron
for highly emetogenic anticancer regimens.
Corticosteroid has anti-inflammatory action
& alleviates nausea & vomiting.
41. • These are substances intended to promote digestion
of food
1.Pepsin: Maybe used in gastric achylia(absence of
gastric juice) due to atrophic gastritis, gastric
carcinoma, pernicious anemia, etc.
2.Papain: It is a proteolytic enzyme obtained from
raw papaya. Its efficacy after oral ingestion is
doubtful
42. • It is a mixture of pancreatic enzymes
• It contains amylase, trypsin and lipase indicated in
chronic pancreatitis or exocrine pancreatic deficiency
states.
• It has to be used as enteric coated tablets or capsules
