bethanacol
direct muscarenic agonist; a choline ester; GI and bladder are primary tagrets
carbachol and receptor type
direct muscarenic and nicotinic agonist; choline ester; used in eye for glaucoma tx to constrict pupil and open the canal of schlemm (pilocarpine is DOC tho)
pilocarpine
natural alkaloid; binds only Muscarinic receptor; penetrates CNS; used to treat Sjorgen's (xerostomia); extremely potent; DOC for glaucoma
miosis
contraction of pupil
mydriasis
dilation of pupil
2 methods to treat glaucoma
1) contract ciliary m and open C. of Schlemm 2) decrease vitreous production
Drugs that Contract Ciliary M
physostigmine (ACE Inh.); pilocarpine (PSNS Mimetic); brimonidine (Alpha 2 Agonist); latanoprost (PG analog)
Drugs that Decrease Vitreous Prod
acetazoleamide (carb. anh. inh); -nolol (beta blocker)
edrophonium
ACE Inh. Short Acting; used to dx Myasthenia Gravis
neostigmine
ACE Inh. no CNS pentration; tx for curare overdose; a carbamate
physostigmine
ACE Inh. CNS penetration; tx for atropine overdose; a carbamate
2-PAM
organophosphate ACE Inh. reversal
trimethophan
blocks nicotinic receptors at ganglia
hexamethonium
blocks nicotinic receptors at ganglia
nicotine
ganglionic stimulating agents; no therapeutic use though
curare
NMJ blocker; competitve; causes relaxation bc doesn't allow depolarization; this is a NICOTINIC receptor!!
succinylcholine
NMJ blocker; non-competitive bc it binds irreversibly; causes contraction
metyrosine
blocks tyrosine uptake; prevents adrenergic synth
reserpine
prevents dopa from being packaged into vessicles; once in vessicle dopa turns into NE; causes NE depletion
guanethidine
blocks NE release from vessicle
cocaine
blocks re-uptake 1 pathway of NE
hemicholinum
blocks choline uptake
vesamicol
blocks ACh incorporation into vessicle
botulinum
blocks fusion of ACh vessicle with pre-synaptic membrane
phenylephrine
alpha 1 agonist
methoxamine
alpha 1 agonist
oxymetazoline
alpha 1 and 2 agonist
tetrahydrozoline
alpha 1 agonist
naphazoline
alpha 1 agonist
ephedrine
triggers release of NE (indirect adrenergic agonist)
clonidine
alpha 2 agonist that works in CNS; actually causes decrease in NE release in pre-syn. neuron so acts to reduce BP; especially useful in renal failure
isoprotenerol
beta 1/2 agonist; cardiac stimulant
dobutamine
beta 1 agonist; inotropic
albuterol
beta 2 agonist; used to treat asthma and COPD
terbutaline
beta 2 agonist; used to treat asthma and COPD
ritrodine
beta 2 agonist; used to cause uterine relaxation but has the side effect of possible orthostatic hypotension
guanabenz
alpha 2 agonist; antihypertensive effect
guanficine
alpha 2 agonist; antihypertensive
methyldopa
partial alpha 2 agonist; antihypertensive
phenoxybenzamine
alpha 1/2 antagonist; non-competitive; used to treat pheochromocytoma prior to removal of the tumor; used to treat alpha agonist OD; used to reverse local anesthetic
phentolamine
alpha 1/2 antagonist; competitive; very potent; used to treat pheochromocytoma, overdose of alpha agonist, reversal of dental anesthetic
prazosin and special use
alpha 1 antagonist; antihypertensive and controls BPH
propanolol
beta 1/2 antagonist
pindolol
beta 1/2 antagonist; intrinsic sympatheticomimmetic activity
carteolol
beta 1/2 antagonist; intrinsic sympatheticomimmetic activity
atenolol
beta 1 antagonist
metropolol
beta 1 antagonist
labetalol
beta 1/2 and alpha 1 antagonist
carvedilol
beta 1/2 and alpha 1 antagonist
ipratropium
muscarinic antagonist; "I pray I can breathe soon." used for asthma and COPD
glycopyrrolate
muscarinic antagonist; reduces urgency in cystitis
oxybutin
muscarinic antagonist; tx for overactive bladder
give an example of an alkaloid muscarenic agonist
pilocarpine
what is the duration of tiotropium?
24 hrs
Which drug blocks nicotinic receptors at the NMJ?
curare and succinylcholine; therefore, to counteract an AChE overdose you have to give curare with atropine to catch both N and M receptors
How do nerve gases work?
they are organophosphate AChE inhibitors
What are 5 alpha-2 agonists?
oxymetazoline, clonidine, guanibenz, guanficine, methyldopa
pargyline
MAOI; avoid cheese
tranylcypromine
MAOI; avoid cheese
cocaine
NE reuptake blocker
TCA
NE reuptake blocker
tyramine
increases NE release from pre-syn. terminal; enters terminal through re-uptake 1
amphetamine
most resitant of the drugs in this class; increases NE release from pre-syn. terminal; enters terminal through re-uptake 1
(pseudo)ephedrine
increases NE release from pre-syn. terminal; enters terminal through re-uptake 1
