48 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

organs affected by alpha-1 receptors (contraction smooth muscle)

most arteries and veins


iris muscle (eye)


sphincters of urinary, GI tract

organs affected by alpha-2 receptors

adrenergic nerve endings


stimulation by NE/EPI initiates negative feedback mechanism that reduces, regulates release of additional NE

organs affected by beta-1 receptors (stimulation of cardiac muscle)

heart

organs affected by stimulation beta-2 receptors (relaxation smooth muscle)

bronchiolar smooth muscle


uterus


skeletal muscle vessels/coronary artery vessels

EPI effect on alpha-1 receptors

vasoconstriction


contraction-pupillary dilation (mydriasis)


(same effects as NE)

NE effect on alpha-2 receptors

vasoconstriction


contraction-pupillary dilation (mydriasis)


(same effects as EPI)

EPI effect on beta-1 receptors

greater increase heart rate, force of contraction, AV conduction


NE effect on beta-1 receptors

moderate increase heart rate, force of contraction, AV conduction

EPI effect on beta-2 receptors

bronchodilation


relaxation


vasodilation

NE effect on beta-2 receptors

no stimulation or effect

alpha-1 receptors

contraction smooth muscle

Beta-1 receptors

stimulation cardiac muscle (rate, force of contraction)

beta-2 receptors

relaxation smooth muscle

Sympathomimetic

action of adrenergic drug (alpha/beta agonists), or action that increases sympathetic activity

Sympatholytics

adrenergic blocking drugs (alpha, beta, neuronal blockers) that antagonize sympathetic activity

non-selective beta-adrenergic drugs

stimulate heart (beta-1 receptors), relax smooth muscle (beta-2 receptors)


Ex: EPI

selective beta-2 adrenergic drugs

stimulate only beta-2 receptors, used primarily as bronchodilators

alpha/beta adrenergic blockers

sympatholytic drugs, block effects of NE, EPI


blocks both alpha-1, alpha 2, beta-1 beta-2- non-selective


blocks only beta-1/alpha-1- selective blockers

effect of alpha/beta blockers

decrease sympathetic activity, esp in CV system

adrenergic neuronal blockers

act at adrenergic nerve endings to reduce formation, release of NE


decreases all sympathetic activity, lowers BP, cardiac function

parent/prototype for alpha drug class

NE

Alpha-adrenergic drugs used to treat hypotension

Metaraminol (Aramine)- parenteral


Midrodine (ProAmatine)- tablet


NE (Levophed)-parenteral


phenylephrine (neo-synephrine)-parenteral



all increase BP

AA drugs for nasal/ocular decongestion

Naphazoline (Privine-nasal Naphcon-ocular)


Phenylephrine (neo-synephrine-nasal)


Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)- nasal


Tetrahydrozoline (tyzine- nasal Visine-ocular)



zoline, ephrine

major adverse effect of AA drugs administered IV

excessive vasoconstriction of blood vessels


may result in increased BP, hypertensive crisis

most important actions of beta drugs

stimulation heart (beta-1)


bronchodilation (beta-2)


Isoproteranol most potent, produces both effects


drawback is overstimulation of heart

Stimulation of beta-2 receptors in uterus

relaxes smooth muscle, inhibits uterine contractions


Terbutaline- may arrest premature labor

Examples of beta adrenergic drugs (non-selective)

Dopamine (intropin)- circulatory shock


Ephedrine- bronchodilator


Epinephrine (adrenaline, EpiPen, Primatene mist)- acute allergy/asthma, bronchodilator


Isoproteranol (isuprel)- bronchodilator

Selective BA drugs (all stimulate beta-2 receptors, except Dobutamine)

Albuterol (Proventil)


Dobutamine (Dobutrex)


Isoetharine (Bronkometer)


Levalbuterol (Xopenex)


metaproteranol (Alupent)


Salmeterol (Serevent)


Terbutaline (Brethine)

DOC for anaphylaxis

EPI

main pharmacologic effect of alpha blockers

relaxation of smooth muscle


used for hypertension, Raynauds disease, pheochromocytoma


BPH (relaxers smooth muscle of ureter)

Alpha blocking drugs adverse effects

increased activity in ANS division not blocked


Miosis, nasal congestion, increased GI activity


tachycardia if BP lowered


interference w/normal CV reflexes that control BP- can cause orthostatic hypotension and fainting

Beta blocking drugs

bind to beta adrenergic receptors, antagonize beta effects of NE, EPI

main clinical use of beta blockers

decrease activity of heart


useful in tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac conditions w/excessive sympathetic activity, hypertension


Propranolol (Inderal)

Beta blocker (non-selective)


indications- HT, migraine, angina pectoris, arrhythmias, post-myocardial infarction


Metoprolol (Lopressor)

selective beta-1 blocker


Indications- HT, angina pectoris, chronic heart failure

Propranolol main effects

decrease in rate, force of contraction, conduction velocity of heart. Lowering of BP. Administered ORAL, IV. Most lipid soluble beta-blocker, can exert pharmacological effects in brain

Other uses of Propranolol, beta blockers

glaucoma (decrease intraocular pressure)


migraines


post MI

Esmolol

short acting, administered IV in emergency situations

side/adverse effects of beta blockers

nausea, diarrhea


bradycardia, CHF, cardiac arrest (lowered cardiac function)


contraindicated in patients w/asthma/respiratory problems


drowsiness, mental depression, CNS disturbances (if access gained into brain).

adrenergic neuronal blocking drugs

interfere w/formation, storage of NE


ex:


alpha- methyldopa (inhibits DOPA synthesis)


Reserpine (depletes vesicle of NE)


Guanethidine (prevents NE release, depletes vesicles)

methyldopa (Aldomet)

interferes w/synthesis NE in nerve endings, greatly reduces amount formed. Activity of SNS decreased. Main use- treatment of HT

Methyldopa side/adverse effects

drowsiness, sedation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, nasal congestion, bradycardia



drug fever, liver dysfunction, hemolytic anemia, skin eruptions, symptoms of arthritis

Reserpine

site of action adrenergic nerve endings


prevents storage NE inside storage granules


produces vasodilation, lowering of BP


Many adverse effects

Guanethidine (ismelin)

adrenergic neuronal blocker, prevents release NE from nerve endings, depletes NE storage granules

Preferred treatment BPH

Tamsulosin (Flomax)


Alfuzosin (Uroxatrel)


finasteride (Proscar)


dutasteride (Avodart)
