Inotropic Drugs: what do they do?
Alter the force of cardiac contraction

positive: increase cardiac contraction
negative: decrease cardiac contraction
Increased cAMP causes increased Calcium in the cytosol which increases cardiac contractility
Adrenergic Drugs: what do they do?
Work at adrenergic receptors and primarily modulate the function of SNS

They're Adrenomimetics: promote effects of norepinephrine and epinephrine, dopamine at adrenergic receptors in SNS
Adrenergic Recptors: which ones are there?
A1, A2, B1, B2, D1-5
Alpha 1 receptors and their properties, antagonists, and agonists.
A1 agonists cause vasocontriction and increase BP
Agonist: Phenylphrine-causes increase in IP3 and DAG
Antagonist: Prazosin

Signal Transduction: binding causes increase in IP3 (thereby causing an increase in cytosolic Ca) and an increase in DAG (which activates PKC)
all of this stimulate downstream kinases, and the release of Ca from SR leads to smooth muscle contraction
Alpha 2 Receptors and their properties, agonist, and antagonist
Three types: 1-C
Agonists: Clonidine for all types, Oxymetazoline for type A
Agonists will decrease cAMP

Antagonists: Yohimbe

Agonists will decreasse cAMP levels and inhibit PKA on the presynaptic terminal where they will be bound by norep in a negative feedback loop decreasing further secretion of norep and inhibit the SNS stimulatory response
Beta Receptors and their properties, agonists and antagonists
Three types 1-3
Agonist: isoproterenol is for all three types, dobutamine for B1, Albuterol for B2
Antagonists are propranolol for all three types, Betaxolol for B1, Butoxamine for B2

Agonists will cause an increase in cAMP producing muscle relaxation.

Signal Transduction: accumulation of cAMP wil cause activation of PKA via cAMP
Dopamine receptors and their types and agonists, and antagonists and their properties
Five types of receptors 1-5
Agonists: General Agonist is Dopamine, Fenoldopam for D1

D1 and D5 cause increased cAMP and smooth muscle contraction

D2-4 cause decreased cAMP and smooth muscle relaxation
Common locations of receptors: word form
A1 and B2 on smooth muscle
B1 on cardiac tissue
A2 on sympathetic neurons (prod inhibition of NT rel)
other A2 and B2 on blood platelets and organs
other A and B on CNS
Common locations of receptors: PICTURE FORM
Locations of A1 receptors and their function at these locations
vascular smooth muscle-contraction
radial muscle of iris - contraction
prostate- contraction
Locations of A2 receptors and their function at these ocations
platelets: aggregation
adrenergic and cholinergic nerve terminals-inhibition of NT release
some vascular smooth muscle: contraction
Fat cells: inhibition of lipolysis
location of b1 receptors and their functions
heart: increased force and rate of contraction
B2 receptor location and function
respiratory uterine and vascular smooth muscle: promotes smooth msucle relaxation
D1 and D2 locations and functions
D1 smooth muscle: dilate renal blood vessels
D2 nerve endings: modulates transmitter release
Tolerance and Tachyphylaxis
Tolerance: progressively reduced response to a specific drug requiring an increase in concentration to achieve desired effect

Tachyphylaxis: acute decrease in the response to a drug after admin
Mixed Alpha and Beta Agonists: which drugs are these?
Epinephrine, norepinephrine
epinephrine (adrenalin): what does it affect and what are it's effects
Affects A1=A2 and B1=B2
Secreted by adrenal medulla and potent agonist at all B and A adrenoceptors

CV effects:
B1 stim: increased chronotropy (HR) and increased myocardial contractility: increase coronoary O2 demand and systemic BP

B2: stim: peripheral vasodilation, decreased PVR, decreased diastolic BP

A1 stim: increases vascular smooth muscle contraction, increased PVR and BP

B-AR stimulation causes bronchial smooth muscle relaxation, increased blood glucose, increase lipolysis, increased RENIN and RAS activation
VARIABLE EFFECT ON BP due to opposing actions of epi
Clinical indications of epinephrine
First choice drug for acute bronchospasm and respiratory manifestations of anaphylaxis
-hypotension and cardiac arrest
Adverse effects of Epinephrine
Cardiac: tachycardia, arrhythmias, hypertension, palpitations, precipitations of myocardial ischemia and stroke,

Tremor and restlessness
What does norepinephrine affect and what are it's effects?
A1=A2 and B1>>B2, endogenous sympathetic NT
Has a greater effect for B1 adrenoreceptors than epinep:
will constrict all blood vessels
POTENT CARDIAC STIMULANT AND VASOCONSTRICTOR
SIGNIFICANTLY increases peripheral vascular resistance and BP
Clinical Indications of NOREPI
USED FOR ACUTE MI or ACUTE HYPOTENSIVE STATES
As an often adjunct therapy for cardiac arrest
Adverse effects of NOREPI
bradycardia, arrhythmias, hypertension, palpitations, precipitation of myocardial ischemia and stroke

If the BP is very high, carotid bodies sense the increased BP and send signal to the vasomotor center which comes back through the vagus nerve to cause severe inhibition of HR leading to Bradycardia

ischemic injury due to constriction and hypoxia, severely reduced renal blood flow and reduced glomerular filtration and oliguria
Alpha Adrenergic Agonists: which ones exist?
Phenylephrine, Clonidine,
Phenylephrine: where does it work, what are its effects, what are it's clinical indications, and what are the adverse effects?
A1>A2>>>>B
Not a catechol and thus has a long duration
CV effects: increased PVR and BP, reflex decrease in HR from too much which is reversed by ATROPINE
no direct inotropic or chronotropic activity
A1 eye dilation, A1 stim: vascoconstriction and reduction of mucosal edema/congestion

Clinical Indication: hypotension, nasal and sinus congestion,

Adverse effects: reflex bradycardia and elevated BP
Clonidine: where does it work and what are it's effects?
REDUCE PVR, HR, and CO
SELECTIVE A2 agonist A2>A1>>>>>B
DOMINANT Central Effect: decrease sympathetic outflow, increase parasymp outflow, lower BP and induce bradycardia

NONDOMINANT Peripheral effect due to decrease in cAMP: vascular smooth msucle contraction, platelet aggregation inhibition
clinical indications of clonidine?
hypertension
offlabel indications; withdrawal from addictive substances, menopausal hot flashes, ADHD, psychoses, pts underoing anesthesia
Mechanism of Action for clonidine
Activate A2 receptors in vasomotor center causing reduction in sympathetic nervous system which will overcome the peripheral effects of the drug
Adverse Effects of clonidine and drug interactions
sedation, dry mouth, depression

withdrawal can cause life threatening hypertensive crisis

drugs with A2-Adrenergic blocking activity will inhibit action of clonidine (ticyclic antidepress and alpha lblockers)...lead to hypertension due to lack of sympathetic actions being blocked
