Mitoxantrone Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Mitoxantrone is an anthracenedione-derived chemotherapeutic agent used for the treatment of secondary (chronic) progressive, progressive relapsing, or worsening relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Mitoxantrone binds to DNA, by doing this it intercalates into the acid nucleic chain through hydrogen bonding. This binding ends up causing crosslinks and strand breaks. Mitoxantrone can also interferes with ribonucleic acid (RNA) and is a potent inhibitor of topoisomerase II, the enzyme responsible for uncoiling and repairing damaged DNA. This drug has a cytocidal effect on proliferating cells and nonproliferation cells, this suggests that it is not a cell cycle-specific drug. Mitoxantrone is administered in an intravenous injection.

Mizolastine H1 Antihistamine Smooth Muscle Relaxation Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Mizolastine is an H1-antihistamine. H1-antihistamines interfere with the agonist action of histamine at the H1 receptor and are administered to attenuate inflammatory process in order to treat conditions such as allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and urticaria. H1-antihistamines act on H1 receptors in T-cells to inhibit the immune response, in blood vessels to constrict dilated blood vessels, and in smooth muscles of lungs and intestines to relax those muscles. H1-antihistamines interfere with the agonist action of histamine at the H1 receptor and are administered to attenuate inflammatory process in order to treat conditions such as allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and urticaria. H1-antihistamines act on H1 receptors in T-cells to inhibit the immune response, in blood vessels to constrict dilated blood vessels, and in smooth muscles of lungs and intestines to relax those muscles. Allergies causes blood vessel dilation which causes swelling (edema) and fluid leakage. Mizolastine also inhibits the H1 histamine receptor on bronchiole smooth muscle myocytes. This normally activates the Gq signalling cascade which activates phospholipase C which catalyzes the production of Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and Diacylglycerol (DAG). Because of the inhibition, IP3 doesn't activate the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and DAG doesn't activate the release of calcium into the cytosol of the endothelial cell. This causes a low concentration of calcium in the cytosol, and it, therefore, cannot bind to calmodulin.Calcium bound calmodulin is required for the activation of myosin light chain kinase. This prevents the phosphorylation of myosin light chain 3, causing an accumulation of myosin light chain 3. This causes muscle relaxation, opening up the bronchioles in the lungs, making breathing easier.

Mizolastine H1-Antihistamine Action

Homo sapiens
Mizolastine (mizollen) is a second-generation piperidine H1-antihistamine. H1-antihistamines interfere with the agonist action of histamine at the H1 receptor and are administered to attenuate inflammatory process in order to treat conditions such as allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and urticaria. Reducing the activity of the NF-κB immune response transcription factor through the phospholipase C and the phosphatidylinositol (PIP2) signalling pathways also decreases antigen presentation and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, cell adhesion molecules, and chemotactic factors. Furthermore, lowering calcium ion concentration leads to increased mast cell stability which reduces further histamine release. First-generation antihistamines readily cross the blood-brain barrier and cause sedation and other adverse central nervous system (CNS) effects (e.g. nervousness and insomnia). Second-generation antihistamines are more selective for H1-receptors of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and do not cross the blood-brain barrier. Consequently, these newer drugs elicit fewer adverse drug reactions.

Mizolastine H1-Antihistamine Blood Vessel Constriction Action Pathway

This causes a low concentration of calcium in the cytosol, and it, therefore, cannot bind to calmodulin. Calcium bound calmodulin is required for the activation of the calmodulin-binding domain of nitric oxide synthase. The inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis prevents the activation of myosin light chain phosphatase. This causes an accumulation of myosin light chain-phosphate which causes the muscle to contract and the blood vessel to constrict, decreasing the swelling and fluid leakage from the blood vessels caused by allergens.

MNGIE (Mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalopathy)

Rattus norvegicus
Myoneurogastrointestinal encephalopathy, or mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy syndrome (MNGIE), is a multisystem disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding thymidine phosphorylase, which normally uses thymidine and phosphate as substrates to catalyze the reaction between these two substrates to create thymine and 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate. MNGIE causes accumulation of thymidine and deoxyuridine in the urine. Symptoms of MNGIE include ptosis, progressive external ophthalmoplegia, gastrointestinal dysmotility (often pseudoobstruction), diffuse leukoencephalopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and myopathy.
