Bethanechol
favors M3, improves bladder and GI function
Cevimeline/Pilocarpine
Used for dry mouth which increase Helpful Sjogrens syndrome(autoimmune disease which effects salivary glands).

Pilocarpine is generally more used for eye dryness/glaucoma
Name anti-muscarinic Drugs
Atropine, Scopolamine, Ipratropium, Tolterodine, Oxybutyin
What are the effects of anti-muscarinic drugs in each organ system?
Eyes would dilate, heart rate would increase, if acetylcholine present it is blocked, bronchial relaxation, salivary secretions reduce, no eccrine sweat response
Difference between Atropine and Scopolamine
Atropine causes hallucination when it crosses BBB. Scopolamine causes sedation when it crosses BBB
Describe Atropine
40% transformed 60% excreted. It is well absorbed and well distributed and can be consumed in almost any context.
Describe Scopolamine
Similar to atropine. 40% transformed 60% excreted. It is well absorbed and well distributed and can be consumed in almost any context. Sometimes used for motion sickness.
Describe Ipratropium
Can only be taken by inhalation. Does NOT cross BBB and is poorly absorbed and is useful for like asthma attacks. It is an anti-muscarinic
Donnatal
Is 4 different anti-muscarinics used to treat IBS
Lomotil
used to treat travelers diarrhea. only has atropine to prevent abuse
tolterodine, oxybutyin
used for urinary incontinence or enuresis. It is an anti-muscarinic.
xerostomia
dry mouth
cycloplegia
paralysis of ciliary muscles
tolterodine, oxybutyin
Used to relieve bladder spasm and relieve incontinence. It is an anti-muscarinic drug.
Edrophonium
Only binds to anion site and is short acting. Used to diagnose a disease called myesthenia gravis. It is a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.
Neostigmine, Pyridostigmine, Physostigmine
Physostigmine readily crosses the BBB. The other two do not. These all bind both at the esteratic and anionic site.
Pyridistigmine is mostly used to treat myesthenia gravis

They are all reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
Isofluorophate, Echothiophate,
Organophosphates that covalently bind to the estheratic site and can be used to treat glaucoma. The phosphorus makes the covalent bond.
Saron, Soman
Deadly nerve gases that cause irreversible binding of Acetylcholinesterases.
Pralidoxine
It is an antidote for anti-acetylcholinesterase poisoning by binding to anionic site and then having a higher affinity for the phosphate group.
Neostigmine
It can be used to reverse the effects of a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug.
Nicotine effects
It is a ganglion blocker as well as a noradrenergic stimulator. It stimulates the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine from adrenal gland. As such it increase heart rate and blood pressure. However, it also has a parasympathetic effect wherein it increases secretions and GI tone/activity. It has complex CNS effects due to the release of dopamine.
He really stressed the importance of understanding that nicotine releases norepinephrine.
name common ache used to undo neuromuscular blockers
neostigmine, pyridostygmine, edrophonium
When will Ache not be useful to antagonize the effects of another drug?
Phase I of succinylcholine
Dantrolene
Prevents release of calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum. It blocks contraction and helps treat malignant hyperthermia.
deinnervation supersensitivity
Once muscle gets deinnervated you get tremendous upregulation of receptors along the entire muscle. As a result succinylcholine acts on every single receptor Sodium comes out, Potassium comes in but normally that is restricted to the end plate, but now it happens all along the muscle significant enough to cause cardiac problems.
reserpine
blocks dopamine or norepinephrine transport into the nerve terminal which then causes them to be destroyed by MAO
Guanethidine
Leads to the depletion of NE by slow displacement of the transmitter.
alpha methyl p tyrosine
blocks first step(rate limiting) of NE synthesis.
Disulfiram
Blocks step 3 of NE synthesis. Also known as antabuse by blocking alcohol dehydrogenase.
amphetamine, tyramine, ephedrine
Causes rapid displacement or release of transmitter(NE).
Guanethidine, bretylium
causes prevention of release of NE
phenylephrine
alpha 1 mimetic
substrate for MAO
mydriasis without cycloplegia, pressor, nasal decongestant
can be taken orally
clonidine
alpha 2 mimetic
decreases sympathetic tone from CNS as such it decreases HR, contractility, renin release, vasoconstriction.

side effects include sedation, dry mouth(decreases secretion)
Gi, meaning it inhibits cAMP and increases K+
can be taken in almost any form.
isoproterenol
this is a non selective beta adrenergic(beta 1 beta 2) that acts at the receptor level by mimicing the transmitter

NOT sensitive to MAO. Metabolized by COMT

effective ionotropic agent. Effects more on contractility than HR. Bronchodilator.
dobutamine
selective cardiac stimulation by mimicing beta 1 transmitter

very short half life. Must be used with IV drip. Will be used to treat acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock. It is more ionotropic than chronotropic.
terbutaline, metaproterenol, albuterol
selective inhibition of smooth muscle contractions causing bronchodilation. So it can be used for Asthma and COPD. Especially better for COPD since its not a Beta 1 agonist(unless dose pushed).
Beta 2 also relaxes uterine smooth muscle to prevent premature labor(tocolytic)
beta 2 agonist

NOT metabolized by MAO or COMT
propranalol
non selective beta adrenergic blocker(beta 1 beta 2)
metoprolol
selective beta 1 blocker
phenoxybenzamine
non selective alpha blocker
Name the 6 types of effects from adrenergic agonists
excitatory/inhibitory on smooth muscle/effectir organs
excitatory effects on heart
metabolic effects(increase glucose)
endocrine effects(inhibit insulin secretion)
CNS effects
ephedrine
CNS activity. Long lasting epinephrine. Mixed acting sympathomimetics.
Dopamine
indirect acting sympathomimetic that causes vasodilation. Can be useful in cardiogenic shock. Stimulates failing heart and dilates some vessels while it contracts others.
Amphetamine
Prototypical indirectly acting sympathomimetic that is nonselective. Can cause schizophrenia. Effective for ADHD and narcolepsy. It release dopamine, NE, etc.
catecholamines
Epinephrine, NE, isoproterenol, dopamine, dobutamine

reflex tachycardia, potent vasodilator, block of presynaptic alpha 2 may promote NE release.

hypertensive crisis
prazosin, terazosin, doxazosin, tamsulosin
alpha 1 selective antagonist, decrease BP and PVR, cardiac stimulation is less because the inhibitory is not there in cardiac shit.

it is cardioselective(causes its only beta 1)
less bronchoconstriction
side effects of beta blockers
bradycardia, AV block, sedation, mask symptoms of hypoglycemia
carevedilol
non selective beta receptor antagonist that is also alpha 1 receptor antagonist that also has anti-oxidant effects

increases VLDL and decrease HDL
inhibit lipolysi
inhibits compensatory response in response to hypoglycemia
increase bronchial airway resistance
contraindications of beta blockers
Asthma, COPD, congestive heart failure
Guanethidine
taken up by same transporter as NE. Once it gets inside prevents release of NE. Then it prevents uptake of Dopamine and NE into vesicles. "False transmitter" because it takes the place of NE in vesicles but doesn't do anything.

No effects on CNS.
Postural hypotension.
used to treat hypertension
hallmark of anything blocking alpha receptors is...
postural hypotension
Reserpine
CAN READILY cross membranes. doesn't need transporter.
its blocks dopamine and NE membrane into vesicles(uptake 2). slow onset. penetrates CNS possibly leading to depression. used for treatment of hypertension.
alpha metatyrosine
blocks tyrosine hydroxylase which is ratelimiting step of NE synthesis. Useful for pheochromocytoma that is inoperable.
alpha methyldopa
just like clonidine. its a centrally acting alpha 2 agonist. methyldopa is a prodrug.

reduces sympathetic output from CNS thereby reducing hypertension.
