COMT

NO oral abs, given IV (think epi pen)
if a adrenergic stim is not technically a catecholamine but some synthetic molecule what can be said about it
not degraded by COMT so...

increased bioavailability after oral ingestion (catecholamiens MUST be IV) longer duration of action, less potent
the effects of adrenergic agonists depend on what
1. distribution of A/B R in the tissue
2. drugs selectivity for A/B R
3. reflex responses
alpha r stimulation cases what in the heart
recall a1 vasoconstrict BV including nasal mucosa
recall a2 inhibit NT release and contract some vascular SM

EFFECT:
increase arterial resistance in small vessels to increase BP, baroreceptors do reflex bradycardia

**in artherosclerosis the baroreceptor response is impared and we get HUGE increase in BP
what R was stim

increase BP with reflex brady cardia
alpha agonist

*alpha recetors vasoconstrict small arteroiles and cause increase TPR, there is then reflex bradycardia via baroreflex

**imparied baroreceptor reflex in ppl with srtherosclerosis,. their BP skyrockets
whats the effect of a agonist in ppl with artherosclerosis
typical to have increase BP due to increased TPR via vasoconstriction, with reflex bradycardia via baroreceptors

**in artherosclerosis the baroreceptor is defetive and we have huge increase in BP
what do alpha agonists do in the eye
mydriasis, contract radial mm
NO AFFECT in accomidation

decrease production of and increase removal of aqueous humor so used to tx glaucoma
stim of what will cause mydriases w/o affecting accomidation? what is the effect on intraocular pressure
alpha agonist

no effect on accomadation (ciliary mm) just the radial iris mm

**also increases removal of aqueous humor so used to tx glaucoma
what does a R stim do in the lungs

* a2 inhibits insulin/renin
*overall minor effects
what is the cardiovascular effect of B stimulation
1. b1 increase HR (increased conduction velocity) and force of contraction (b2 also but less)
-conduction is increased so refractory period decreases. automaticity increases

2. increased O2 repuirements

3. increased coronary blood flow

4. b2 relax BV in SK mm (decreased diastolic pressure)
what might increase the O2 demand of the heart and increase coronary artery blood flow while decreasing diastolic BP . what other effects are seen
beta receptor stimulation

b1 increase HR and contractility, this increases O2 demand and coronary blood flow. AV conducatnace is increased so automaticity increases

b2 will dilate sk mm and decrease diastolic pressure
what bappens in the eye with a beta agonist
b2 increase aquesous humor production in the eye, increased intraoculat pressure

A beta BLOCKER will be used to tx glaucoma
how is intraocular pressure changed with adrenergic stimulation
b2 increase aquesous humor production and increase intraocular pressure
what type of b drug will help with asthma
b2 when stim will dilate the bronchioles so b2 can be used to tx asthma
whats the b effect int he GU/GI

b2 will relax hte bladder only slightly
what are the b effects on metabolism
BETA 1
-renin release

BETA 2

-uptake of K
-insulin

BETA 3
-lipolysis
what happens to BP and HR

a stimulation, phenylephrine
a1- vasoconstriction
reflex brady cardia

Increase BP, decrease HR
what happens to BP and HR

b stim, isoproterenol
b1- increase HR, contraction
b2- vasodilation in sk mm

Increase HR, slight diastolic decrease
what does NE do to HR and BP
stim a and b1

a1- vasoconstriction
b1- increased HR, contractility

increased BP with slight reflex bradycardia even with b1 stimulation
how powerful is baroreceptor reflex bradycardia, use a adrenergic stim to illustrate
STRONG

when we give NE it stim b1 and a1 mainly and the result is increaased BP via a1 and DECREASED HR due to reflex bradycardia even through there is direct stim of b1

now with phenylephrine there is just a1 stim and we get increased BP and total reflex bradycardia. the effects of b1 stim with NE will give a higher hr with NE than phenylephrine
what will cause selective a and b1 stimulation

what will cause stim of a and b1/2
NE

increased BP with some reflex brasycardia even with b1 stim

EPI stim all,
what does Epi do
stim EVERYTHING, but we know R have dif affinities so there is a dose related response
alpha1/2 like Epi most
beta 1/2 like epi seccond
b3 like epi last

Low dose:
-b1 HR and conduction increase
-a1 constriction
-b2 sk mm dilation

increased BP, then decreased diastolic bc of b2. Overall increased pulse pressure, increased HR

High Dose: stronder pressor effect
lets talk about NE
stim a and b1, not b2

increrased BP with little effect on pulse pressure
baroreceptor reflex keeps HR low (atropine will inhibit this and HR increases)
causes such vasoconstriciton that necrosis can occur at site of injection
what might haappen if you inject your finger with NE, how to reverse
necrosis from vasoconstrication

give alpha antagonist
what happens when atripone is give before NE
atropine (muscarinic antagonist) will block vagal response and baroreceptor effect isnt seen

**NE will then increase BP (expected) AND HR (new and exciting)
how is the effect of Epi determined

what happens with a low dose given slowely

what happens with a high dose given fast
on dose, Epi stim it ALL!!!

Low and slow
- b1 increase HR
-a vasoconstrict
-b2 dilate sk mm (decrease diastolic, this is unique to epi be NE wont stim b2)
*bc diastolic decreases Pulse pressure increases but mean pressure stays the same...SO this means there is no baroreceptor adn HR stays high with b1 stim
*CO and O2 requirement are increased
*sk mm get more blood but skin and kidney get less


HIGH FAST DOSE
-LOTS of a1 consrticiton
-increased blood sugar (b2 glycogenolysis, a2 inhibition of insulin)
- renin increases b1
- increased FFA b3 lipolysis
what happens with a slow does of EPI

HR and BP
b1- increase HR and conduction, CO and O2 consumption increase

a- constrict skin, kidney, mucosa. increased BP

b2- dilate sk mm BV, decrease diastolic. increased pulse pressure

--> all of this together means that mean pressure is the same and we have NO baroreceptor mediated bradycardia nad HR is increased

HR and BP increase

*decreased Blood to skin adn kidney
an increase in HR and BP is seen when

an increase in BP with only a slight increase in HR is seen when
low dose of epi is given

hard and fast epi

**the difference is with a low dose you can have the b2 stim that decreases diastolic by letting blood get to mm, this keeps MAP the same and NO baroreceptor bradycardia. When epi is given really fast we get an overwhelming pressor effect and the baroreceptor bradycardia occurs
what happens with a hard and fast injection of epi
hard adn fast pressor effects right away so we get reflex bradycardia

BP increases, HR not as increased
what is Epi used for
1. anaphylactic shock- restore BP, decrease BP

2. Cardiac Arrest/Complete heart block

3. given with other drugs to cause Vasoconstriction so that the drug wont diffuse

4. glaucoma- decrease intraocular pressure (alpha decrease intraocular pressure, b2 will increase intraocular pressue) not used much for this

5. bronchodilation for asthma
what does Epi do to

1. effect on other drugs

2. shock

3. heart

4. glaucoma

5. asthma
1. is vasoconstricts so that the intended drug wont diffuse out

2. tx for anaphylactic shock, restore BP, decrease bronchospasm, decreasd edema, restore heart

3. in complete block or cardiac arrest it can stim the heart

4. a stim will decrease intraocular pressure. (increase removal and decrease produciton of humor)

5. bronchodilate via b2 (NE will NEVER work for this)
what are some of the toxicities assocated with EPI
1. tremor
2. headache (no CNS effects)
3. increased BP, tachycardia (DUH)
4. angina- increased O2 demands
5. vasopressor effect is HUGE, esp at high dose
6. at low dose the sk mm dilate BV. the sk mm do have both a and b but b are more sensitive to epi
who should NEVER have a huge old dose of epi
ppl on b blockers!

there will be unopposed a effects and HUGE amts of a constriction
what are some toxicities associated with HIGH Epi doses
a receptos dominate and we get massive constrictions

can cause LARGE increase in BP
cerebral hemmorage
vent arrhythemias

contraindicated in ppl on b blockers bc then the a effects are unopposed!!!
whats ephedrine
one of those "other" adrenergic stimulants
_its the junk in diet pills, its like EPI but has a more modest effect, higher bioabilibility and longer duration.
- mixed acting on b and a R so in cases of denervation it still has some effects
- CNS stimulant, increased HR and BP, bronchodilation
- deaths due to hypertension prevent it in diet pills
whats the drug that acts like EPI but i sa bit more moderate, we know it has longer bio effects but can cause severe HTN and even hemmorage. how can we get this crud out of our bodies
ephedrine

*renal excretion is increased by acidifying the urine
what does phenylepherine do
alpha 1 agonist

*vasoconstriction with increased BP and reflex bradycardia (obviously dont use in ppl with HTN)
*used to increase BP in hypotensive emergency
*can cause vasoconstriction in the nose so works as a decongestant, but we get a rebound effect
*dilate eye w/o affecting accomadation, no a receptors on ciliary mm
what are the 2 alpha agonists
phenylepherine a1 selective (increased BP, refelx bradycardia, used to tx hypotension, decongestant, mydriasis. careful in ppl with HTN)

pseudoepherine
what does pseudoephedrine do
a agonist, simliar to phenylephrine

**used as a decongestant, sudafed,
*careful in ppt with HTN it can increase BP
*meth precurson, restrictions in sales
what is teh widely used decongestant that is an adrenergic agonist, how does it work
pseudoepherine

**its an a agonist that causes vasoconstriction in teh nose and leads to DECONGESTION! cool
whats xylometazoline and oxymetaxoline
a agonists are arent bold!

topical agents to decrease congestion
used in the eye

**dont use in ppl with narrow angle glaucoma, hypertension
whats clonadine
a2 agonist that works in the brain

* decrease CNS
NE release so decreased SNS to periphery (presynaptic a2)
-decreased BP, tx HTN
- reduce cravings in addicts
-decrease hot flashes
-preanesthetic, to sedate you and dry secretions

Transdermal Patch

Side Effects:
dry mouth, sedation, sexual dysfx, dont get it hot bc youll get a big release
whats the transdermal a2 agonist that prevents cravings and hot flashes. what are some of its more intuitive effects
clonidine

*a2 agonist in the CNS so will decrease NE release to the periphery. effectively decreasing SNS tone
- decreased BP, tx HTN. if you stop drug abruptly you can get HTN

also causes dry mouth, sexual dysfunction, sedation
so i know clonidine is an a2 agonist, whats the other
apraclonidine

used in teh eye to tx glaucoma

a receptrs decrease production of aquesous humor (the b2 will increase it)
whats isoproterenol

agonist of what R
causes what in BP and HR
used for
b agonist (b1 and b2)

-b1 increase HR and contraction
-b2 dilate sk MM--> decrease in BP with reflex tachycardia

initial increase in BP (b1) and HR
followed by decrease in BP (b2 dilation) and increased HR (reflex tachy)

used for
- cardiac arrest, heart block
-asthma, but replaced by b2 selective like albuterol

can lead to tachycardia, palpitations, arrhythemias
whats dobutamine
b1 agonist

*increase HR, used in cardiac stress tests when ppl cant be on treadmil
*really short half life 2 min
whats albuterol
selective b2 agonist

help ppl with asthma by acting on b2 in the lungs to bronchodilate

terbulatine is an oral b2 for asthma
wahts terbulatine
b2 agonist that is sometimes given orally for asthma
whats ritodine
selective b 2 agonist that is used to relax the uterus

*prevent premature birth
whats dopamine

what does it do at normal, and high doses

side effects
its a D R agonist

recall
D1- dilate renal BV
D2- inhibit NT release

sooo..
DOpamine will increase blood Flow to kidney to increase GFR and Na excretion

HIGH DOSE
can stim b1 also to increase HR and contractility, given in cardiac shock to increase heart rate w/o causing constriction

will affect a1 receptors and have effects simliar to epi

nausea, vomit
why are large doses of dopamine, though ineffective, used to treat cardiagenic shock
increased dose of dopamine will act on B receptors to increase HR and CO w/o vasoconstriction side effects

high doses can also increase release of NE and stim a1 so the effects are smiliar to epi
whats henoldopam
D1 agonist

increase blood flow to kidney, increased GFR increased Na excretion

dilate vascular beds to decrease HTN
whats amphetamine
indirect acting drug that increases NE release from vesicles

1. CNS stimulant: increased alterness, decreased appetite, decreased need for sleep, euphoria, psychosis
2. tachycardia
3. HTN
4. contracts bladder sphincter

methyphenidate (rifalin) is a type of amphetamine and is used for kids with ADD, causes a paradoxical decrease in hyperactivity
how do amphetamine, cocaine, and tyramine work, what does this implicate
indirect acting stimulants

if there is denervation or depletion of NE by reserpine the effects are diminished. if the drug works on more than 1 receptor there can be blunted affects still

denervation enhances the effect of drugs that bind directly
s methyogenudate
ritalin, its a type of amphetamine

*tx kids with ADHD, paradoxical decreasei n hyperactivity
what indirect adrenergic agonist increases NE release from vesicles, what does it cause
amphetamine

CNS effects are great: euphoria, decreased appetite/sleep, increased motor activity, psychosis

tachycardia
HTN

methyphenidate, ritalin is in this category
what does cocaine do
blocks reuptake of dopamine/NE, more dopamine/NE is available.

really addictive, causes short lasting amphetamine effects
cause HTN, stroke, MI/arrhythemia
psychosis
whats tyramine
indirect actine sympathomimetics

increase relase of catecholamine from nerve terminal. replaces NE with octopamine (a false NT) causes tachyphylasis (really fast sensitization)

tyramine is normal in food digestion but is hydrolyzed by MAO, when ppl are on MAO inhibots tyramine can be a prble and cause HTN crisis
