hexamethonium (mneum: put an “hex” on the autonomic NS)

These block SNS and PSNS:
1. Block SNS:
-arteriodilation lowers TPR
-venodilation==>decr preload
-decr dp/dt
-decr preload & dp/dt ==> decr CO
-decr TPR & CO==>hypotension
-decr sweating
-impotence (no ejaculation)

effects of

b) curare

on
1) MG,
2) burns,
3) denervation?
1) MG
*decr Ach receptor density
*succinylcholine: effect decr
*curare: effect incr

2) burns
*incr Ach receptor density
*succinylcholine: effect incr (hyperkalemia)
*curare: effect decr

3) denervation
*incr Ach receptor density
*succinylcholine: effect incr (hyperkalemia)
*curare: effect decr


*↓ Ach receptor density ==>
↑ effect of curare b/c not as many receptors to stimulate, so works really well

• Ach receptor density is directly related to effect of succinylcholine and inversely related to effect of curare

With burns and denervation, you get hyperkalemia with succinylcholine.

-Succinylcholine binds and constantly depolarizes; you try to repolarize (by ship K+ out of the cell to try to make cell interior (-) again), but it doesn’t repolarize, so just keep shipping out K+ ==>hyperkalemia.

-Since burns and denervation have increased succinylcholine effect (d/t incr Ach receptor density), ship out even more K+.

*NO EFFECT if pre-treat with:

For what drugs are you not supposed to eat cheese or beer?
Fermented foods like cheese and beer contain Tyramine (indirect adrenergic agonist: release stored NE).

Thus, tyramine is contraindicated if taking phenelzine or tranylcypromine, which are MAOi and thus incr NE in synapse. Since cheese/beer (Tyramine) release stored NE, this would increase NE even more==>hypertensive crisis
incr BP d/t tyramine and amphetamine can be blocked by

In normotensive pt, these effects cancel out, so no change in CO.

In CHF pt, CO incr (b/c VR is too high in CHF pt, can't pump blood out, so reducing VR actually helps incr CO (good!).

Thus, both the decrease in DBP and decrease in VR lead to incr CO in CHF pts.)

-loss of Na, K, Cl, Ca, Mg, water

-K loss worsened b/c Na not reabosrbed in TAL, so later on CD principal cells reabsorb more Na (and thus wastes more K)
-blocks Na transport in macula densa of DT==>no Na sensed==>secondary hyper-ALDO worsens K loss

S/E:
-ototoxicity; potentiated by aminoglycosides (e.g. gentamicin)

-enhances digoxin toxicity:
loop diuretic causees hypokalemia, so less K to compete with digoxin
-hypochloremic met alkalosis
(lose Cl-, so retain HCO3-)
-hypomagnesemia
-hyperglycemia (d/t enhanced reabsorption in PT)
-dilutional hyponatremia--cannot make a dilute urine in order to excrete free water
-hyperuricemia (bad for gout) and Li+ toxicity b/c enhanced reabs in PT

MOA:
-site of action=DT
-decr GFR in all pts

-blocks NaCl symporter in DT==> incr excretion of Na, Cl, Mg, K
-decreased free water clearance: urine always hypertonic
==>dilutional hyponatremia ("emia"=blood)
-decr Ca+ excretion (thus, decr formation of kidney stones)
-increased Na delivery to distal tubule worsens K loss
-blocks Na transport in macula densa
==>no Na sensed
==>secondary hyperALDO

S/E:
-hyponatremia, hypokalemia w/alkalosis, hypomagnesia, hyponatremia, hypergluyemia
==>all uniformly decr GFR

-enhances digoxin toxicity via hypokalemia - less K+ to compete with digoxin for
Na+-K+ ATPase binding sites
-hyperuricemia (bad for gout) and Li+ toxicity (bipolar) b/c enhanced reabs of uric acid and Li+ in prox tubule

graph on the effects of diuretics on
urinary flow, pH, and electrolyte composition

--how distinguish b/w diuretics?
A. Look at urine flow rate. 1. If flow=8-10 ml/min
==>fureosemide, mannitol
2. If flow=2-3 ml/min
==>acetozolamide, thiazide, K+ sparing

B. Now look at quantitative changes in electroylate composition.
1. Distinguish b/w furosemide and mannitol b/c furosemide has more excretion of Na, K, Cl
2. Distinguish b/w acetozolamde, thiazide, and K+ sparing:
-high excretion of bicarb (thus high urine pH)==>acetozolamide
-less excretion of K+ sparing
==>K+ sparing
-the one that remains is thiazide

Tx: control (decr) ventricular rate in pts with Atrial flutter/fib

Meet the 3 (Italian) Digitali bros.!!!
1. Good ME (incr dp/dt via inhibit Na/K)
2. Good EE (vagal activity, decr AV conduction)
3. Bad EE (PVCs/PACs, AV block)

MOA:
(1) acts centrally to incr PSNS

(2) acts centrally to decr SNS

(3) partial inhibition of Na/K ATPase:

==>can't pump out Na+
==>Na+ builds up inside cell
==>Na/Ca antiport cannot work (usually pumps out Ca, pumps in Na)
==>Ca builds up inside the cell
==>more Ca in SR, so DIRECTLY incr dp/dt!!


Automaticity in fast fibers
("bad EE": PVC's/PAC's, AV block) d/t:

a. Inhibited Na-K pump
==>Na builds up inside cell (decreases membrane potential (more +)==>depolarized)==>automaticity

b. Hypokalemia (low K+ outside the cell) potentiates inhibition of Na-K ATPase b/c not enough extracellular K+ to pump into cell in order to pump Na+ out
==>Na/K ATPase doesn't work
==>Na builds up inside the cell and makes it +
==>spontaneous depolarization= “automaticity”==>decr ERP in ventricles

d. High Ca++: Ca++ overload inside cells causes automaticity (Goljan: decreasing depolarization threshold)

d. Low Mg++: same as Ca++ overload inside cells - causes automaticity


PE:
(1)&(2):
*decr HR
*decr conduction velocity
*incr ERP in AV node >> controls (reduces) V rate in A fib/flutter

(3) incr SV via increased dp/dt (thus, OK for HF)

*half-life of digitoxin >> half-life of digoxin (7 days vs. 1 day);

mneum: digitoxin is a longer word than digoxin, so it has a longer half-life


*Digitoxin cleared hepatically
(reduce dose in CHF, cirrhosis)

*Digoxin is cleared renally (reduce dose if decr GFR);
