new M3 specific agonist
fewer side effects than pilocarpine
Cevimeline
how does pilocarpine reduce intraocular pressure
contracs spincter pupillae (M3) and reduces angle block
muscarinic agoinists side effects
diarrhea
diaphoresis
miosis
nausea
slaivation
urinary urgency
CNS distubances ( w/ thse that cross the BBB, i.e pilocarpine)
contraindications for muscarinic agonists
pts. w/ asthma
Heart disease
types of ACH esterases

types of pseudo cholinesterases
where and what are they, and what do they do
plasma cholinesteras
butyryl colinesterase
circualing, non-specific esterase that cleave any ester
what class of drug prolongs/enhances actions of acetylcholine by inhibiting something
AChE inhibiitors
potentila sites of action for AChE inhibitors
all effector organs innervated by parasympathetic system
NMJ
All autonomic ganglia
types of AChE inhibitors ( not drug names but types)
Reversible
irreversible (long)
Reversible AChe Inhibitors (short drugs)
Edrophonium
Reversible AChe inhibitors (intermediate drugs)
Physostigmine
Neostigmine
Pyridostigmine

Ecothiophate
Isofluorophate
Irreversible AChE inhibitors (Nerve Gases)
Sarin
Soman
Clinical uses for AChE inhibitors
and the drug that is used for a diagnostic test (name)
Myasthenia Gravis
Hypotonia of Bladder and GI
Glaucoma
Alzheimers
Edrophonium (diagnostic test for myasthenia Gravis)
what is myasthenia Gravis, what type of drug do you use to treat, and what is its MOA
an autoimmun neuromucular disease where antibodies destroy ACh receptors at the NMJ.
AChE inhibitors are used
allows for more ACh to stay inthe cleft of the NMJ longer to react with what receptors are remaining.
AChE inhibitor drug that doesn't enter brain and has a greater effect at the NMJ than physostigmine
Neostigmine
AChE inhibitor drug tha is a plant alkaloid and tertiary amine that can cross the BBB.
potentiats Ach effest ath muscarinic and nicotinci receptors of the ANS and also Nicotinic at the NMJ
Physostigmine
adverse effects of Physostigmine
diarrhea
nausea
sweating,
miosis
urinary urgency
convulsions (high doses)
bradycardia (high doses)
hypotension (high doses)
Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists
Belladona alkaloids
Atropine
Scopolamine
MUscarinic Receptor Antagonists
Synthetic and Semi-synthetic derivatives
Ipratropium
Tiotropium
Tolterodine
side effects of Atropine
does dosage amount affect the side effects, if so how
Dry mouth
Constipation
Dilated Pupils (mydrasis
Blurred vison due to cycloplegia
Hot, dry flushed skin
Tachycardia
Fever
CNS Disturbances

from the top of this list is the lower dosages, as the dosage increases, the items at the bottom of the list occure
use this drug as a reversal to severe bradycardia, to produce mydriasis and cycloplegia
a Muscarinic Receptor Antagonist used:
to treat organophospate insecticide poisoning
and to treat mushroom poisoning
Atropine
a Muscarinic Receptor Antagonist used:
as a prophylactic for motion sickness
and adjunt drug in anesthesia to produce sedation and amnesia
drug that crosses the BBB better than atropine
Scopolamine
a Muscarinic Receptor Antagonist used: in asthma and COPD as an adjunct to albuterol

has minimal inhibitory effect on mucociliary clearance when compared to atropine
reduces broncoconstriction mediated by parasympathetic activity
Ipratropium Bromide
a Muscarinic Receptor Antagonist used: with COPD and Asthma that is much more selective at the Bronchioles by haveing a greater affinity for M3 vs. M2
Tiotropium Bromide
a Muscarinic Receptor Antagonist used: to treat and overactive Bladder by blocking M3 receptors on detrucer muscle and blocks parasympathetic tone to the spincter and prevents leaks
Tolterodine
contraindication for M3 Antagonists
individuals with urinary retention i.e BPH
Muscarinic antagonist contraindications
Glaucoma
Bengn prostatic Hyperplasia
kidney condition w/ urination problems
Myasthenia Gravis
Excessive constipation
NMJ blockers ( classes)
Non-depolarizing blockers
dpolarizing blockers
non-depolarizing NMJ Blockers
Atracurium
Cistracurium
Vecuronium
Rocurnium
Pancuronium
Tubocurarine
Depolarizing NMJ blockers
Succinyl Choline
what do non depolarizing NMJ blockers do, and can it be overcome, if so how
block the nicotinic receptor at the NMJ and prevent actions of acetylcholine. can be overcome by increasing the amount of Ach in the synaptic cleft
what do depolarizing NMJ blockers do, both phases
Phase I initially depolarized the muscle membrane and casues fasiculations, the calcium is removed back tino SR and muscle relaxes causing flaccid paralysis

Phase II membrane is repolarized but the muscle is resistant to further activation by acetylcholine
what is different between succinylcholine and acetylcholine
what does this cause
succinylcholine is not hydorlised by acetylchlinesterase, so it stays in the junction longer, this causes desensitization
side effects of succinylcholine
muscle pain post op
hyperkalemia
decreased heart rate and increased IOP ( at high doses blocking ganglionic nicotinic receptors)
Malignant jyperthermia( serious side effect)
Neurotransmitters and receptors
pathway or sympathetic adrenal medulla
Preganglionic uses ach to a nicotinic receptor on the adrenal medulla, releasing epinephrine which acts on an adrenergic receptor on the effector organ
