Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs

General MOA? Name them.
- act at neuromuscular junction to cause relaxation or paralysis of skeletal muscle

- Pancuronium, Succinylcholine
Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs

MOA (for each)?
- Pancuronium: COMPETITIVE Ach antagonist (tx overdose w/ AchE)
- Succinylcholine: stimulates receptors and acts like Ach (fasciculations), but then STAYS BOUND and muscles STAY DEPOLARIZED (tx overdose w/ TIME... can't use AchE, lol)
Direct Acting Sympathomimetics

Epinephrine
- a1 = a2 = b1 = b2
- low dose => decr. DP, incr. SP => incr. HR
- high dose => incr. everything
Direct Acting Sympathomimetics

Norepinephrine
- a1 = a2 = b1 >> b2
- low dose => incr. SP, incr. DP => decr. HR
- high dose => incr. SP&DP, incr. HR (but not so much due to reflexive decr.)
Direct Acting Sympathomimetics

Isoproterenol
- b1 = b2 >> all
- low dose => decr. SP, decr. DP, incr. HR
- high dose => (even more) decr. SP, decr. DP, incr. HR
Direct Acting Sympathomimetics

Dopamine
- D > b1 > a1 > all others
- low dose: incr. RBF&GIBF
- intermediate dose: incr. HR & cardiac contractility
- high dose: vasoconstriction => incr. MAP => decr. HR => decr. RBF&GIBF
Direct Acting Sympathomimetics

Dobutamine (selectivity? use? kin?)
- b1 > b2 > all others (selective b1 agonist)
- used in CHF and shock (cardiogenic & late phase septic)
Direct Acting Sympathomimetics

Albuterol (selectivity? use? other drugs in class?)
- b2 > b1 > all others (selective b2 agonist)
- bronchodilators (asthma... you used this fool)
- albuterol, metaproterenol, pirbuterol, salmeterol, terbutaline (terbutal-INE used to prevent premature labor by uterINE relaxation)
Direct Acting Sympathomimetics

Phenyephrine & Midodrine (selectivity? effects on bp? use?)
- a1 >> all others (selective a1 agonist)
- raise BP, but with more reflex bradycardia
- hemorrhoids, nasal congestion, SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIAS
Indirect Acting Sympathomimetic Agents

Cocaine (moa? use? why not used more?)
- inhibits reuptake of NE (incr. NE)
- local anesthetic (exerts its own local vasoconstrictor to prevent its own loss from site of injection)
- local only... also, IT'S FUCKING COKE!!!!
Alpha Blockers (General)

MOA? Tox?
- inhibition of PERIPHERAL alpha-adrenergic receptors
- COMPETETIVE => short acting, reversible (all except Phenoxybenzamine)
- decreased BP

- nasal congestion, difficulty ejaculating, reflex tachycardia, systemic fluid retention, orthostatic hypotension
NonSelective Alpha Blockers

Name them. MOA?
- Phenoxybenzamine (only NON-COMPETETIVE alpha blocker, long lasting, irreversible), Phentolamine
- block both a1&a2
NonSelective Alpha Blockers

Phentolamine (Use? Tox? CI?)
- in case of accidental alpha-agonist injection => PREVENTS LOCAL DERMAL TISSUE NECROSIS
- reverses oral soft-tissue anesthesia

- GI problems: n/v/d, incr. GI motility (CI in ulcers!)
