Cholinomimetics
Effect similar to stimulation of cholinergic nervous system
Act on muscarinic (M) a nicotinic (N) receptors
Nicotinic effects
Ganglial receptors

Depends on autonomic stimulation. When sympathetic nervous system outweighs (vessels), then their stimulation stimulates sympathetic neurons.

When parasympathetic system outweighs (heart, GIT), then their stimulation stimulates parasympathetic neurons.

Adrenal medula - adrenalin and noradrenalin release

Neuromuscular junction - spasms and convulsions of skeletal muscles
Cholinomimetics

1. direct
M receptor agonists
1. direct
N receptor agonists
(most of them are nonspecific)
Cholinomimetics

2. indirect (AChE inhibitors)
2. indirect (AChE inhibitors)
short acting-edrofonium
intermediate acting - carbamates
long acting (irreversible blockers) - organophosphates
Direct cholinomimetics
Acetylcholine - direct endogenous cholinomimetics, which is released in:
sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglias (N-effects)
postganglial parasympathetic neurons (M-effects)
neuromuscular junction (N-effects)
adrenal medula (N-effect, adrenaline secretion)
CNS (N-effect)
Very fast hydrolysis by acetylcholinesterase.
Acetylcholine
properties
poor absorption p.o. and s.c., does not cross HEB
rapid hydrolysis by AChE
BP decrease, bradycardia, heart arrest
sweating, salivation, lacrimation, glands secretion
nauzea, cough, dyspnoe
vessels dilatation EDRF (NO) release
effect
Pilocarpine
tercial N atom - increased lipofility, cross HE barrier and enters cornea
M and N effect
miosis and decreases intraocular pressure
Carbachol
quartery N atom, does not cross HEB, resistance to AChE
secretion GIT glands
GIT muscles atonia
miosis and decreases intraocular pressure
CI - obstruction GIT
Metacholine, betanechol
quartery N atom, does not cross HEB, resistance to AChE
GIT motility increasing, urinary retention after anesthesia or vagotomia
examination of exocrine pancreas secretion
CI - obstruction GIT
Intoxication
M receptors:
M receptors: CNS stimulation, miosis, accommodation, dyspnoe, (bronchoconstriction, hypersecretion of bronchial glands), diarrhoea (hypermotility and hypersecretion), hypotension (vazodilatation), bradycardia.
Intoxication
N receptors
N receptors: convulsions, BP increase (adrenal and ganglia N receptor stimulation).
Indication
Pilocarpine
Carbachol
Metacholine, betanechol
postoperative and neurogenic ileus, urinary retention.
glaucoma (carbachol, pilokarpine).
Edrofonium
Physostigmine
Neostigmine
Pyridostigmine
Reversible (competitive) AChE inhibitors
M and N effect
Indications for and gruop they belong to:
Edrofonium
Physostigmine
Neostigmine
Pyridostigmine
Reversible (competitive) AChE inhibitors
M and N effect

Postoperative and neurogenic ileus, urinary retention – neostigmine
Glaucoma- physostigmine
Myastenia gravis – neostigmine, pyridostigmine, edrophonium
Treatment of neuromuscular blocks
Alzheimer disease
rivastigmine, donezepil
Ireversible AChE inhibitors - organphosphates
AChE effect/intoxication
M and N effect
AChE activity 70% - mild intoxication
AChE activity  30% - severe intoxication
AChE reactivators
pralidoxime
atropine
atropine - blocks muscarinic effects
Ganglion-blocking drugs

Interference with acetylcholine release
Interference with acetylcholine release

Botulinum toxin, hemicholinium
Ganglion-blocking drugs

Prolonged depolarization
Nicotine
Ganglion-blocking drugs
Competitive antagonist
Hexamethonium, tetraethylamonium
