what must drugs be in order to be an anesthetic?
- lipid soluble
drugs w/ low blood solubility have what type of induction?
low blood solubility --> RAPID induction and rapid recovery time
drugs w/ high lipid solubility ...
have an INCREASED potency
what is potency equal to?
1/MAC ; MAC --> minimal alveolar concentration when 50% of population is anesthetized
"ANE"
-inhaled anesthetics
- hrt,resp dprssn
- n,emesis
- increased cerebral blood flow
iv anesthetic - thiopental; uses?
high potency, lipid slblity, rapid entry into brain
- anesthesia for short procedures
iv anesthetic - benzos (midazolam)
- most commonly used for endoscopy
- usd w/ gaseous anesthetics y narcotics
severe side fx of midazolam as anesthetic?
postoperative respiratory depression, treat with flumazenil
Ketamine (Arylcyclohexylamine)
-pcp analogue ; block nmda receptors
local anesthetics - esters / amides
esters - procaine,cocaine,tetracaine
amide- ildocaine,mepIvacaine,bupIvIcaine
Amides have 2 I's ...
in their name
moa of local anesthetics
block na+ channels via binding of rcptrs on inner portion of channel
- most fctive in rapidly firing neurons b/c binds to Na+ channels
what is the order of sensation loss with the use of anesthetics?
pain first > temp> touch> pressure last
clinical uses of local anesthetics?
-minor surgery
- spinal anesthesia
- if allergic to esters (procaine,etc.) give amides (iiodocaine, etc.)
side fx of local anesthetics?
- cns excitation
- cv toxicity (bipuvicaine)
- htn/hypotnsn
- arrythmias (cocaine)
neuromuscular blocking drugs
depolarizing and non-depolarizing
- used for muscle paralysis in surgery
- nicotinic recptr selectivity
how do we reverse the blockade?
phase 1 - (long depolarization) - no antidote
phase 2 - (rplrzd but blocked) - cholinesterase inhibitors r antidote (neostigmine)
examples of depolarizing drugs? non-depolarizing?
succinylcholine ;
"-ium" + tubocurarine
moa of non-depolarizing drugs? how do you reverse the blockade?
compete w/ Ach for receptors
; neostigmine, edrophonium, (cholinesterase inhibitors)
what is used to treat, Malignant hyperthermia and Neuroleptic malignant syndrome?
dantrolene
- mlgnt hyprthermia csd by inhalation of anesthetics y succinylcholine
- nms --> overdose of antipsychotics
moa of dantrolene?
prevents release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum in skltl mscle
park's - cause?
- loss of dopaminergic neurons and excess cholinergic activity
Rx strategy for parks?
- agonize DA rcptrs
- increase DA
- Prvnt DA breakdown
- lower cholinergic excessive activity

"BALSA"
BALSA!! - parkinsons Rx
B-bromocriptine
A- amantadine
L- levodopa (w/ carbidopa)
S- Selegiline (y COMT inhibitors)
A- Antimuscarinics
moa of amantadine?
- increase dopamine release
- also used in influenza A y rubella
- toxicity = ataxia
moa of carbidopa?
dcrses peripheral conversion of levadopa to dopamine...thus increasing CNS levels of DA
moa of selegiline? entacapone/tolcapone?
prevents breakdown of dopamine ; MAOB inhibitor
- entacapone/tolcapone (COMT inhibitors) prvnts DA breakdown
what drugs decrease cholinergic activity?
Benztropine --> Antimuscarinic, improves rigidity and tremor
what drugs do u use for essential or familial tremors?
b-blockers
moa of levadopa/carbidopa? toxicities?
- incrse DA in brain
ldopa can x bbb , carbidopa cannot
tox-> arrythmias, long term (dyskinesias)
what enzyme converts levadopa to dopamine?
dopa decarboxylase
moa and use of SUMATRIPTAN?
5HT1b/1d agonist --> causes vasoconstriction, dcrses trigem stimulation and vasoactive peptide release
uses--> migraines and cluster headaches
toxicities of sumatriptan?
- coronary vasospasm
--> contra'd in CAD or PRINZEMETAl's angina
Memantine,donepezil...what disease is it used for?
Alzheimers ;
memantine --> nmda rcptr antagonist --> prevents Ca2+ excitotoxicity
moa of donepezil?
acetylcholinesterase inhibitor
- n,v,dizziness
