1. alpha agonist
Main Effects Of Adrenergic Receptor Activation "α1-receptors: vasoconstriction
relaxation of gastrointestinal smooth muscle (except the sphincters)
α2-receptors: inhibition of transmitter release (including NE and Ach release from autonomic nerves)
platelet aggregation
β1-receptors: Increased cardiac rate and force
Increases renin release
β2-receptors: Bronchodilation
Vasodilation
ISOPROTERENOL (ISO
IPNE)- β1 β2
EPI: β2
β1 > α receptors
Differential cardiovascular effects of NE
EPI & IPNE
High doses: Activates both α1 and β2
and the alpha effects predominate
Rapid relief of hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis
to drugs and allergens
Epinephrine: Pharmacokinetics "Rapid onset of action (iv
inhalation routes):
Rapid inactivation by the liver Monoamine oxidases (MAOs)
catechol-o- methyl transferases (COMTs)
" Epinephrine: MOA" Based on its actions on blood vessels
heart and bronchial smooth muscles
OXYMETAZOLINE "Common ingredient of many nasal decongestants (Afrin
Dristan
OXYMETAZOLINE: MOA "MOA: Non selective (α1
and α2) agonist
Constricts the small arterioles supplying the nasal mucosa
decreasing secretions
Less potent but longer duration of action than EPI
NE (not metabolized by COMT)"
Very useful in treating and preparing addicted subjects for withdrawl from narcotics
alcohol
These side effects occur in at least 50% of the patients and may require drug discontinuation. However
they may diminish after a few weeks of therapy
Vascular (renal
mesenteric
Short-term management of cardiac decompensation that may occur after cardiac surgery
in CHF
Essential hypertension
CHF
Favorable effects on lipid profile: lowers LDL & triglycerides
Increases HDL"
MOA: Specifically blocks α1 receptors on the trigone
internal sphincter and prostate smooth muscle"
-Anxiety to control somatic symptoms (e.g. palpitations
tremor)
Pseudo-ephedrine (stereoisomer
OTC cold medications)
Increases release of DA
NE
4. beta2 agonist. "
Beta1 Agonist
What is the difference between indirect and direct agonists?
Main Effects Of Adrenergic Receptor Activation
"α1-receptors: vasoconstriction, relaxation of gastrointestinal smooth muscle (except the sphincters), thick viscid salivary secretions, and hepatic glycogenolysis, decreases renin release, Ejaculation
Non-selective Agonists
"EPINEPHRINE (EPI) - α1 α2 β1 β2
Affinity of catecholamines for different adrenergic receptors
"NE: α receptors >β1
Differential cardiovascular effects of NE, EPI & IPNE
Vascular Effects Of EPI & NE: Type Of Vascular Bed
"Cutaneous blood vessels exclusively express α receptors: EPI & NE cause vasoconstriction
Vascular effects of EPI: Dose dependency
"EPI potency: β2>α1
Baroreflex responses to EPI & NE
"Drugs that activate only alpha receptors on the vasculature elicit a stronger baroreflex response
Epinephrine: Clinical Uses
"Reserved for emergency situations
Epinephrine: Pharmacokinetics
"Rapid onset of action (iv, inhalation routes):
"
Epinephrine: MOA"
Epinephrine: Side Effects
"Hypertension
Non selective alpha agonists
OXYMETAZOLINE
"Common ingredient of many nasal decongestants (Afrin, Dristan, Sinex)
OXYMETAZOLINE: MOA
"MOA: Non selective (α1,and α2) agonist
Oxymetazoline: Limitations
"Loss of efficacy with chronic use
Selective Alpha Agonists: Alpha1
"α1 selective agonists
Selective Alpha Agonists: Alpha 2
"α2 selective agonists
PHENYLEPHRINE: Clinical Uses
"Nasal decongestant
"
Phenylephrine: MOA"
"
CLONIDINE (Catapres)"
Clonidine: MOA
"Partial agonist at α2 receptors
Clonidine: Pharmacokinetics
"Crosses the BBB
Clonidine: Side Effects
"Dry mouth
Clonidine: Caution
Abrupt discontinuation after long-term therapy can cause Rebound hypertension
APRACLONIDINE (IOPIDINE)
"Selective α2 agonist
APRACLONIDINE (IOPIDINE): MOA
"MOA: α2 receptor mediated reduction in aqueous humor production (Vasoconstriction in the ciliary epithelium)
Selective Beta Adrenergic Agonists: Beta1
"β1 selective agonists
Selective Beta Adrenergic Agonists: Beta2
"β2 selective agonists
