|
Cholinesterase inhibitors inact changes by inhibiting enzymes that break down Ach and indirectly increasing its levels
|
This happens at muscarinic receptors.
|
|
|
Uses of Cholinesterase inhibitors
|
treatment of glaucome and post-op urinary retention via the activation of muscarinic receptors,
Alzheimers disease via crossing the BBB, Gravis, OD on an anti-muscarinic because it will induce competition for the muscarinic receptors |
|
|
How could a cholinesterase inhibitor be used to Myasthenia Gravis?
|
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder where the body targets itself and destroys it's nicotinic receptors, cholinesterase inhibitors increase the intracellular levels of Ach so there is more of it arround to stimulate the fewer receptors that are existing.
