Epinephrine
|
*Heart (β1): ↑automaticity, ↑HR, ↑conduction velocity, ↑CO (β1 stimulated ↑ in contractility + relaxation in blood vessels due to β2 stimulation @ therapeutic dose), ↑O2 consumption, ↓efficiency
|
|
|
*BP (β2 & α1): ↓ @ low [ ] via β2 dilation, ↑ as [ ] ↑ & α1 receptors become occupied; If both receptors occupied – α1 response predominates; @ low [ ] MBP is often ↓, @ high [ ] MBP is ↑
|
|
|
*Respiratory tract (β2 & α1): bronchioles dilated via β2 – most prominent when bronchial muscle is constricted due to drugs/disease; secretions ↓ via α1
|
|
|
Metabolism: ↑ glycogen breakdown (β2); ↓ glycogen synthesis (α1); ↓ insulin secretion (α2), ↑ free fatty acids (β3)
|
|
Norepinephrine
|
*Heart(β1): direct effects; same as epi
|
|
|
*BP (α1): ↑ systolic, diastolic and mean
|
|
|
*Cardiac Output: no change or slightly ↓ due to α1 mediated constriction of blood vessels
|
|
|
*Metabolism; ↓ glycogen synthase activity via α1
|
|
Isoproterenol
|
*Heart (β1) – direct effects same as epi
|
|
|
BP (β2): ↓BP
|
|
|
Respiratory Tract (β2): relaxes bronchi
|
|
Dopamine
|
*Receptors activated (DA, β1, β2, α1 @ ↑ [ ])
|
|
|
Heart (β1): HR ↑
|
|
|
BP: ↓ by DA receptor activation in renal/mesenteric beds; ↓ by β2 receptor activation; ↑ by ↑↑↑ [ ] by α1 receptor activation
|
|
Dobutamine
|
*Heart (β1*) – greater inotropic (contractility) than chronotropic (rate) effects; ↑↑ [ ] may also ↑ automaticity
|
|
|
*BP: ↑ [ ] can ↑ BP via α1
|
|
Phenylephrine
|
*Non-catecholamine α stimulators are NOT metabolized by COMT
|
|
Ephedrine
|
|
|
Clonidine
|
*Brain: α2 @ receptors sites block sympathetic output – postsynaptic
|
|
α-Methyldopa
|
*Periphery: α2 act @ presynaptic receptors to inhibit NE release
|
|
Terbutaline
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Albuterol
|
|
|
Amphetamine
|
*Displaces NE from terminal à sympathomimetic effects
|
|
|
*Substrate for NET and ↑ synaptic NE via facilitated exchange diffusion
|
|
Methylphenidate
|
|
|
Prazosin
|
*Block α1 receptors only
|
|
|
*α1 blockade: ↓BP, get reflex tachycardia
|
|
Phenoxybezamine
|
*Block α1 receptors only
|
|
|
*Duration of action ~24 hrs
|
|
|
*Must synthesize new receptor to recover α1 effect
|
|
Phentolamine
|
*Block α1 and α2 receptors
|
|
|
*α1 blockade ↓ BP
|
|
|
*α2 blockade prevents feedback inhibition by released NE, causing more NE to be released onto β receptors in heart, producing even GREATER TACHYCARDIA than w/ a selective blocker
|
|
Propanolol
|
*Blocks β1 and β2
|
|
|
*Cardiac effects: ↓ HR due to β1 block; ↓ CO (more pronounced during exercise); ↓ conduction velocity, myocardial O2 demand, & spontaneous rate of depolarization
|
|
|
*Vascular & BP Effects: β2 may ↑ TPR slightly; ↓ plasma rennin due to β1 block; net effect BP ↓
|
|
|
*Metabolic Effects: no effect on plasma glucose in normal, but does slow recovery from hypoglycemia in diabetics (less of a problem w/ β selectives); ↑ plasma [ ] of triglycerides (VLDL) and ↓ [ ] HDL
|
|
|
*Respiratory Tract (β2 block): airway resistance ↑; can be life threatening in asthmatics
|
|
Atenolol
|
*Cardiac effects: similar to non-selective β blockers
|
|
Esmolol
|
*Less danger of respiratory side effects than w/ non-selective
|
|
Timolol
|
*At ↑ [ ] à NO β blocker is really “selective”
|
|
(nonselective)
|
|
|
Caffeine
|
*CNS: all cortical areas are sensitize; ↑ [ ] sensitize the respiratory areas to CO2 & ↑ respiratory rate
|
|
|
*CV: ↑ HR and ↑ contractility; systemic BV dilate; TPR ↓ (looks like β2 stimulation); cerebral blood vessels constricted; net effect à BP ↑ because caffeine releases catecholamines
|
|
Theophylline
|
*Respiratory tract: bronchi relaxed
|
|
Guanethidine
|
Enters via NET, uncouples AP from Ca++ entry, and stabilizes vesicular membrane; stops NE from being stored; ↓BP
|
|
Reserpine
|
Enters the terminal (lipid soluble), stabilizes vesicular membrane, causing depletion of NE over time; stops NE from being stored
|
|
Tyramine
|
Cause displacement of NE from terminal à sypathomimetic effects
|
|
|
*normally metabolized by monamine oxidase in the gut
|
|
|
*In CNS metabolized to octopamine which is stored in vesicles causing displacement of NE
|
|
Cocaine
|
*Blocks NET à ↑ synaptic NE
|
|
Imipramine
|
*Blocks NET à ↑ synaptic NE
|
|
Atomoxetine
