  • Front
  • Back
components of PNS (2)
autonomic (sympa, parasympa)
somatic
acetylcholine properties (2)
most exhaustively studied mammal system

functions as NT for many different neurons
acetylcholine can be released by...
pre and post ganglionic fibers
types of Ach receptors (2)
muscarinic

nicotinic
muscarine
naturally occuring alkaloid (molecule with basic nitrogen
chemical compounds that stimulate the parasympathetic system are called...(2)
cholinomimetics or parasympathomimetics
2 possible ways parasympathomimetics can work
bind and activate receptors

or block AchE
2 names of cholinergic antagonists
cholinolytic
parasympatholytic
muscarine
nicotine
acetylcholine
muscarinic agonists- what are they used for
reestablish smooth muscle tone following surgery
nicotinic agonists- what are they used for
to treat myasthenia gravis
muscarinic antagonists what are they used for
antispasmodics (overactive bladder, GI spasms, etc)
anticholinergic - used for what
muscle relaxant (surgery)
early SAR model of Ach binding to muscarinic receptor

(2)
imagined to have 2 sites on the receptor:
esteratic and anionic site
describe the esteratic and anionic site of muscarinic receptor of early Ach binding SAR model
esteratic reacts with O of ester group on Ach
aspartate sits in anionic pocket and binds with quaternary amine
what was wrong with the early Ach binding model? (other SAR it could not explain) (4)
2 groups on the amine must be methyl groups
there is a known stereochemical preference
has no chirality
Ing's rule of five
what is ing's rule of five
all potent cholinergic agonists have only 5 atoms between nitrogen and terminal hydrogens (not counting the O bound to carbonyl)
2 more modern studies regarding SAR of Ach binding
computer assisted modeling has refined models to show arrangement of helical bundles and binding sites

GPCR crystal structures have been realized
2 different downstream ...effectors...of M receptors
adenylate cyclase
phospholipase C
M receptor activation and what happens with AC (2)
activation of muscarinic Ach receptor causes inhibition of adenylate cyclase

this causes reduction in cAMP in cell
M receptor activation and what happens with PLC (3 steps)
PLC activation -->cleaves lipid into DAG and IP3
these go on to increase intracellular Ca++
Ca++ activates PKC
pirenzipine- what is it?

significance?
compound found that blocked gastric acid secretion, but did not block effect of muscarinic agonists

discovery led to M receptor subtypes (1-5)
structure of pirenzipine?
---
mAchR- receptor type
GPCRs
structure of GPCR (2)
7 TM protein
heterotrimeric (stuck to alpha, beta, gamma subunits)
M receptors coupled to Gq
odd letters
M1,3,5
M receptors coupled to Gi/o
M2,4
M1 receptors- location (5)
CNS, gastric, salivary, autonomic ganglia, enteric nerves
M1,3,5 - describe pathway of activation
Gq-->
PLC activation
increases IP3/DAG leading to increased IC calcium and PKC activation-->depolarization
M3 receptors- location (4)
CNS, smooth muscle, glands, heart
M5 receptors location (2)
low lvls in CNS/periphery
mostly in DA neurons of substantia nigra/vta
M2 receptors Location (4)
autonomic nerve terminals
CNS
heart- lower rate
smooth muscle- contract
M4 receptors location
CNS
3 binding sites of muscarinic receptors
Asp (- charge attracts quat amine), Tyr, Thr
G protein process of signalling (5 steps)
1) Aby bound to GDP
2) exchange factor switches GDP for GTP upon binding of Ach
3) b-y dissociates to activate stuff downstream
4) alpha has GTPase activity and hydrolyzes GTP to GDP
5) reassociates with By
3 specific brain areas where M1 is found
cerebral cortex
hippocampus
striatum
M1 receptor properties (2)
sometimes termed "neural" because abundant in brain

implicated in alzheimer's (function/memory/learning)
M1 agonists- greatest use
alzheimer's
4 characteristics of M2 receptors
found where, effects/roles (3)
found in abundance in the heart

negative chronotropic and inotropic actions

contract smooth muscle

autoreceptors
M2 autoreceptors- location and what they does
located on nerve terminals

affords neural inhibition by decreasing Ach release
M3 receptors- found in abundance where 3)
found in abundance in smooth muscle and glands

CNS
M3 receptor stimulation leads to... (2)
stimulation leads to contraction and secretion
M3 receptor drugs
antagonists- for overactive bladder
M3 role in CNS
decrease NT release
M4 receptors- found in abundance where? (2)
found in striatum and basal forebrain
roles of M4 receptor (what happens when it activates) (2)
activation in smooth muscle/secretory glands leads to inhibition of K+/Ca++ channels

decreases transmitter release in CNS/periphery
M5 receptor role
may regulate DA release in CNS
3 places that NAchR are found
skeletal NMJ
adrenal medulla
autonomic ganglia
NAchR type of channel

related to what types of receptors
ligand gated ion channel

closely related to ion channels like GABAa, glycine, etc
NAchR - how they work /are activated
unlike in muscarinic receptors with their secondary messenger pathways, it acts more like a gatekeeper. when it is bound, it allows passage of ions (K+/Na+)
NAchR structure (2)
pentameric transmembrane proteins
can be made up of a, b, gamma/epsilon, delta
NAchR subunits- alpha, gamma, epsilon- explain significance of each
alpha1 is only one in muscle
gamma- mostly in development only
epsilon- if receptor is mature
typical subunit arrangements of NAhR (neuronal) 2
